Faux Snews Issues Correction After Using 11-Year Old Pictures of Empty Shelves In Japan Against President Biden.

Post by marindem01 »

Fox News issued a correction on Thursday after the network used a 2011 picture of a Japanese supermarket during a segment about rising inflation and empty stores in the US.

In the segment, which aired during Wednesday's edition of "Fox News Primetime," an image of President Joe Biden was superimposed over a picture of barren shelves at a supermarket, as can be seen in a clip of the segment published by Mediaite.

Rather than being a picture from the US in 2022, the photo was actually of a convenience store close to Fukushima, Japan shortly after the nuclear disaster there in March 2011. The photo was taken by the Associated Press photographer Shizuo Kambayashi.

Cons will believe the lamest shit out there.

Problem is even if they lose I dont think it will bankrupt them.

Fear based lies and distractions is all they have. It’s nonstop lies/propaganda. They do not have a platform other than this. They offer nothing to the American people. It’s what authoritarians do.

They will be doing pay-per-view broadcast of the executions of liberals/POC and anyone who opposes MAGA eventually.

Faux dumbs down for their viewers, but I mean for fuck sake who in hell thought pics taken in Japan 11-Years A ago, other than the staff a faux.

A blatant lie, not a mistake of faux put it. It was a deliberate act.

Faux doesn't make mistakes. Faux is show business. Think of it as NFTs, only with pretty pictures that MOVE, and sell Rupert Murdoch's version of fascism/ rugged individualism/ right-populism/ Jim Crow/ whatever it is in that particular market.

Their HQ in New York, as close to NBC and ABC as they could find real estate, had a tank parked on 6th Avenue right in front for years (sounds illegal to me) with an ad for a weekend program where you could to some camp and play soldier. That's about their speed. A bunch of wannabes who missed their war, and probably would have washed out of real military training.

Tucker Carlson is the new Father Coughlin (look him up). All he needs to do is start selling quack testicle operations in Mexico and he could be the next Doc Brinkley (look HIM up). Both made out like bandits, which in fact is what they were, but now their major contribution is historical cites like this one, and the current AM radio regulations which were passed just before and during WWII to protect the country from Nazi rabble rousing via the airwaves.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. They just get faster and scarier.

Yeah, they don't make mistakes.

It is just the strangest of coincidences that every time a Republican politician gets caught in some awful scandal, the Faux chiron identifies him as "Joe Rethug (D-New Mexico).

That "accident" has happened so many dozens of times, it really does strain your belief in coincidences. Scandals always seem to magically make Rethugs change parties.

There's a reason I call it Faux, other than of course the whole story in The Corporation where they basically argued for a fundamental "right" to lie and bullshit people.

Relative assured me the actual deaths from Covid is 400K not 800K, that it was revised because those 400K were really other conditions.

WRONG

Fox news is on at his house all the time.
