Fake Trap for the FOX. Part 3
WASHINGTON – March 9, 2019 In 2015, a Fox reporter called the British city of Birmingham “totally Muslim” whereas census data said around 850,000 non-Muslims lived there that year, accounting for approximately 80% of the near 1.1 million population of Britain’s second largest city. Speaking on Fox News, Steven Emerson – who claimed to be a “terrorism expert” –said gangs of religious police in parts of London beat up people who are not wearing Islamic clothes. “And, parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriousl...
Fake Trap for the FOX. Part 2
WASHINGTON – March 8, 2019 This next part in our series will talk about Fox News’ repeatedly falsified statistics, largely propagated through the Fox & Friends morning show. There are too many examples to discuss them all, so we will look at just a few. For example, Fox has repeatedly published data on unemployment in the US in different years. One chart said the US economy was losing an increasing number of jobs per quarter, from 7 million in December 2007 to 15 million in June 2010. The numbers were taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, Fox used f...
Fake Trap for the FOX
ALABAMA – March 5, 2019 Fox News has repeatedly credited the stamp as Donald Trump's favorite media outlet, or the White House's chief propaganda mouthpiece. Moreover, according to some investigations, it was Fox journalists who were the focus of attention during Trump's speeches or official visits to the states. Whether this is true or not remains a mystery. One thing is clear though: Fox, and many other outlets, has repeatedly produced poor quality material with obvious lies. In 2012, Fox had a segment about then-Senator Barack Obama as a possible covert Muslim extremi...
The Lite Version of Fake News from the Daily News
ALABAMA - April 4, 2019 American right-wing activist and co-founder of American Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America Pamela Geller organized a rally on May 25, 2017 against the City University of New York (CUNY) which had invited Islamic activist Linda Sarsour to conduct a public conversation (according to Pamela Geller, Sarsour is “pro-terror” and a “Jew-hater”). The well-known American newspaper Daily News put out a false report on the rally, calling the clash of two leftists with the audience a “wild brawl” and published an image of two women p...
Low-Quality CNN News Blunders. Part 3
ALABAMA – March 27, 2019 When people talk about politics, sometimes you just want to leave so you don’t get in a fight, though it is better when like-minded people get together. When the media tries to talk about politics, they seem to be either completely unaware or so stupid that it seems the profession has outlived itself. The third part of our Media Defamation Monitor describes the work of CNN which most accurately shows how US media giants manage not just to make blunders but also to lie subtly. CNN analyst Brian J. Karem published a dubious report on additional Ka...
Low-Quality CNN News Blunders. Part 2
WASHINGTON – March 21, 2019 CNN's Don Lemon released a piece that automatic weapons are easy to get. The story began on August 20, 2014 when Lemon, broadcasting live from Ferguson, Missouri said he supported the Second Amendment but that he doubted the Founding Fathers were thinking about automatic weapons when they wrote it. The conversation was with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson. "Let’s deal with the facts here," Ferguson said. "A semi-automatic weapon is a gun that you or I is allowed to own and in different places they have different rules. But to imply that...
Low-Quality CNN News Blunders. Part 1.2
TEXAS - March 20, 2019 Distorted Statistics Until 1986, Latin Americans were classified as a separate racial group. No longer. The FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau have no longer distinguished between Hispanics (who are, in fact, mostly Spanish-speaking Indians) and whites, and their crimes are now mixed together into one. Now more than 22,000 Hispanics living in the U.S. simply don't exist, at least ethnically speaking, for FBI crime reports for statistics and news. The FBI records not only Latinos with white people, but it also includes immigrants from Western Asia, Jew...
Low-Quality CNN News Blunders. Part 1.1
TEXAS – March 20, 2019 As long as black people remain the constant victims of relentless white racism, the police should not prosecute them, juries should not sentence them, judges should not impose punishment on them, schools should not punish them, and white victims should not complain about the crime and violence committed by black people. That is what legislators, scientists and, of course, reporters increasingly say today, seeing it as a recipe for "improving the justice system." You’ll see and hear this everywhere if you pay attention. White people, who make up ab...
New York Times Lies Right to Our Faces, or More on Current Propaganda. Part2
WASHINGTON – March 19, 2019 The 2016 and 2018 midterm elections proved that journalism is destroying itself. The media’s main task in the modern world is not to tell the news or conduct investigations but primarily to form public opinion in line with that of the elites, to cover up crimes, to inspire the masses, and to promote the interest of some groups to the detriment of the majority, and other brainwashing. Brainwashing is closely related to the development and dissemination of state propaganda. However, there was no definite term until earlier techniques were stream...
