FOX News Busted for Using another deceptive video

Post by _Kevin Graham »

FOX News showed some Muslims in a bus chanting "Alluah Akbar" and same these were the Syrian refugees. All of them were men and all of them looked radical.

But John Oliver busted them, proving that this video was taken in July of 2010.

This just goes down as another example of FOX's attempt to strike fear and anger into the hearts of the naïve.

Boring.....

1. News company's sometimes make honest mistakes. This was clearly an honest mistake per the facts.
That's very different from liberal intentional manipulation of facts such as with various race related events, making things seem a certain way when they aren't.

2. Muslims Refugees doing this occurs all the time, so..... how is it somehow "not" the "truth" again, even if the particular video wasn't representing such?

No ldsfaqs, this wasn't an innocent mistake and they haven't made a retraction of it. It was a blatant attempt to trick stupid people like you into believing the Syrian refugees were all chanting "Alluha Akhbar." This falls in line with their intended narrative that they had already been pushing. This video is something they had to dig up. The fact that it is five years old just goes to show how much time they spent trying to find something to support their rhetoric. There are plenty, dozens in fact, of recent videos of the Syrian refugees, but they didn't want to show them because it depicts them as suffering women and children, not a bunch of healthy looking men ready to go to war.

FOX Isn't a news site at all. It is a retirement home/ echo chamber for old white bigots.

Had MSNBC done something like this we'd never hear the end of it. This is hardly the first time FOX has been caught doing this.
