Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

50 Fox News Lies In 6 Seconds


From the Daily Show.  All are screen shots from various Fox News telecasts, with Fox's bumper-sticker propaganda statement shown in the text at the bottom of the screen.  All statements have been researched and fact-checked by PolitiFact.com.  All of them are false, except for the one where Sean Hannity honestly admits a previous lie.

Lying is what Fox News does intentionally, and has done every day for 20 years.

If you click on the GIF, you can stop and advance the loop.

One more thing -- the GIF actually has only 49 lies.  The Daily Show has acknowledged the error.  Oh, Jon Stewart, you are such a liar!
