Canada calls out Fox tabloid for fake tweet

[someoneyouknow]

The Fox tabloid, well known for putting out fake "news", such as the report CNN had shown porn for about 20 minutes late last year which had been based solely on a tweet, was forced to retract another of their fake tweets.

Initially the tabloid had tweeted the Quebec mosque shooter was of Moroccan descent. The Canadian Prime Minister's office told the tabloid to either retract or update their comments since the white, male shooter was clearly a French Canadian. Caught in their lie, Fox had no choice but to delete the tweet and admit its falsehood.

A sticky web was constructed.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and Kate Purchase, (Director of Communications) are forced to confront the perpetrators.

The victim that survived, had his good name and good reputation trashed. It was useful to the Whitehouse Trump trolls, to have a body to metaphorically hang. Trump's Muslim ban was justified by the fraud.

"We need to remain focused on keeping our communities safe and united instead of trying to build walls and scapegoat communities," Purchase continued. "Muslims are predominantly the greatest victims of terrorist acts around the world. To paint terrorists with a broad brush that extends to all Muslims is not just ignorant -- it is irresponsible."

"If we allow individuals and organizations to succeed by scaring people, we do not actually end up any safer," she wrote. "Fear does not make us safer. It makes us weaker. Ramping up fear and closing our borders is not a solution. It distracts from the real issues that affect people's day to day life."

Word!

There were two suspects, and one was of Moroccan descent. He was found to be just a witness, and was released. The shooter has a French name, but I am not sure of his ethnicity.

I find it interesting that the article disproves itself.

First, Box, it's not an article. It's an op ed piece. I'm not surprised that an information-challenged person like you doesn't know the difference. Second, please explain how the op ed piece contradicts itself. Maybe it does, but you don't leave the impression that you're doing anything but just firing fake crap from hip.

According to my Roget's thesaurus, an op-ed piece and article are the same thing. Here, it contradicts itself because it is an article or op-ed piece which says op-ed pieces or articles are never written oh the subject.

Well, you don't know how to read a thesaurus then either, as well as not knowing the difference between an article and an op ed piece. A thesaurus gives you words of similar meaning (here written pieces of a certain length), not just words with identical meanings.

Yes, you're dumb as a fence post, Box.
