Another reason not to trust what you hear on Fox News.

[Comshaw]

Big Fox news story! The Marines required a family to pay $60,000.00 to transport Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee's body from California to Arlington after she was killed in the last attack in Afghanistan. Except according to the Marines and the family it didn't happen that way. The Marines paid for her transport.

Now I can understand a news agency getting a story wrong. It happens. But the actions taken after it happened are what tells the story.

Fox picked this one up from what was claimed by Rep. Cory Mills (R-Florida). Without verifying anything they took the congressman at his word and ran with it. That's a problem with credibility on Fox's part, not bothering to verify if a story has any real facts to it. Real news agencies don't operate that way. But that's not the last or biggest part of them stepping in it. They deleted the story WITHOUT A RETRACTION and, so far, have not reached out to the family to apologize.

After the false and misleading things that came to light with the Tucker Carlson debacle and now this, how can anyone trust anything reported on Fox? I used to believe that Fox tried to keep their news reporting and editorial opinion sections separate, trying to stay with reporting factual news (with a conservative slant but still factual) while allowing their editorial staff to spout whatever opinions they desired. Yeah I know call me gullible but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, until they bite me in the ass that is. It appears that "honorable newscaster" tag just ain't so, that the powers that be at Fox have perverted their news coverage as well as their editorials in favor of ratings.

And as a veteran, I find it especially slimy to us a dead U.S. soldier as a pawn in some gotcha' fucking news story. Slimy in the extreme.
If I had only two words to respond to this they would be: fucking assholes!

It's just gotten worse since Shep left. Not that I ever watched Fox, but the online news stories from him met the journalistic standard.

And we have the bullshit defense of "they all do it". While that is slightly on the true side, it comes down to a matter of degree. It's like saying "everyone lies". Everyone does tell little white lies. Only assholes or psychotics lie to enhance themselves at the expense of others and do not care how much harm they do. As I noted in my OP, you can slant the news by how you report it without lying about the facts of it. Both sides do that. But Fox is way ahead of any other main-steam (main-stream 'cause I ain't even gunna consider or address any of the new breed of "news" sites, both hard right and hard left) news service when it comes to telling outright fabrications and then refusing to retract any of it when they get caught! FFS.

Harrison Floyd, the lone co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Georgia who is still in custody, was denied bond by a state judge on Friday, keeping the Black Voices for Trump leader at the Fulton County Jail despite his pleas for release.

What was the reason for denial?

Interesting

posed a flight risk as well as a risk to commit additional criminal felonies if released on bail, multiple outlets reported Friday afternoon.

Floyd, a former Trump campaign employee during his 2020 campaign, had previously been charged in May with assault for attacking an FBI agent who served him a subpoena in the Department of Justice’s investigation into efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.

Why can't he make bail? Did something come up at the hearing? This guy making threats? You must have some evidence if you're blaming the Judge.

I guess that I became put off, if you will, when listening to an NPR story years ago about something local. I knew more about the subject than the reporter and I was surprised less at what was reported and more at what was left out. It struck me as lazy reporting.


Another time when I was chairman of a volunteer organization, our office got a call on what must have been a slow news day. They were manufacturing a story - it certainly wasn't news. I agreed to talk to them but not to be filmed or recorded. What was done to what I said was pretty pathetic. That, too, was lazy, or maybe "sloppy" describes it better. Made me wish I had gone to bed and left it to my imagination instead of staying up and watching.


I think that the discerning viewer watches or reads a news story and looks at least as much at what they don't tell you.
