    The Daily Show catches Fox News in yet another lie.

    On the January 24 edition of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart ridiculed America Live host Megyn Kelly's claim that she "watch[es]" Fox News "every day" and hadn't noticed Fox News figures comparing their political and ideological opponents to Nazis or used Nazi references to smear them. From the Daily Show:

    The Daily Show *Ridicules Megyn Kelly's Claim That Fox News Figures Don't Make Nazi References | Media Matters for America

    Be sure to watch video clip..

    I guess I just have to wonder?? Does Fox News think that after they say something it just disappears and nobody remembers?? Seriously??

    That bit was funny - but simultaneously painful - to watch. And yes, I think Fox News thinks exactly that. They just go with whatever feels like it should be right. Facts be damned !

    Fox should have their FCC licenses pulled until they register as the official media arm of the GOP. Then they can lie all they want!

    Agreed.. They should also change to Fox Entertainment.. They are not news.. Having the title of News should have standards and requirements..

    I saw that episode when it aired. Hilarious how he and his writers portray those things. Sad that they are so often true.

    Stewart doesn't really have proof that Kelly is lying. It is very possible she factually never heard her Fox colleagues use nazi references. Afterall, President Obama never heard Rev Wright verbally assault America.

    Dude, she was right there when one of her guests made the Nazi and brown shirts comments. Either she's completely stupid, has frequent memory issues or she's conveniently forgetting aka lying.

    Or she simply forgot about Goldberg's March '10 segment. But I have no problem with your suggestion that she "conveniently forgets" those instances. Afterall, we all do it from time to time. You, me, everyone.

    The important fact here is MajikMyst continues to pull up very anemic examples of FoxNews lies. What is typically called out on Fox can be illustrated in any media outlet from time to time. These are human flaws, not diabolical acts.

    But, this is important to you, and that is all that matters, I suppose.

    And this is what confounds liberals (I stated this over at PH too), the right doesn't challange Fox or the other RWNJ commentators. For their listeners the truth is what comes out of their mouth at the moment. Its why they can get away with flipping back and forth on any issue or just plain out right lying as is the case here. And when other media sources catch Fox in a lie and publish it, it never reaches the Fox audience, they don't listen to other sources. Its why the Okeefe lie about ACORN never really got legs. Its pretty scary when you think about it.

    Didn't we already have a thread...or a thread hijacked...about this story?

    Ah, well...what's one more Faux hate discussion...

    Carry on.
