Fox News: The Lying Dynasty

This is simply genius.  I'm not sure if you've ever visited the site PolitiFact.com; If you haven't, you should.  It's a really cool website that reports on the truth and false statements given from Politicians.  There is a "Truth-O-Meter," that will inform you if a statement is True, Mostly True, Barely True, Half True, a Flip Flop or just plain False.  You even have a GOP meter, and an Obama Meter that shows what promises are being kept, and what's not.  But this post isn't about PolitiFact.com, it's about Jon Stewart from "The Daily Show" getting back at Fox News for editing his interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."  Being critical of Fox News is nothing new for Stewart, but due to their apparent falsifying of information, Stewart felt he needed to clarify a few things, with a little humor along the way.

First, Stewart apologized for bringing up a false statement of his own during his interview with Chris Wallace on Sunday, which was, "Who are the most consistently misinformed media viewers?" Stewart asked Wallace. "Fox viewers, consistently, every poll" Stewart answered.

After thorough investigative reporting, PoliticFact.com came to the conclusion that Stewart's statement was False:

The way Stewart phrased the comment, it’s not enough to show a sliver of evidence that Fox News’ audience is ill-informed. The evidence needs to support the view that the data shows they are "consistently" misinformed -- a term he used not once but three times. It’s simply not true that "every poll" shows that result. So we rate his claim False.

So, without further adieu, the video below starts off with an apology from Stewart, and he does it by saying,

"I apologize for my mistake, to not do so would be responsible, and if I were to continue to make such mistakes, and misstatements, and not correct them. Especially if each and everyone of those misstatements happen to go in one very particular direction (gesturing w/hands to the right) on the political spectrum, well that would undermine the very integrity and credibility that I work so hard to pretend to care about. Hey, I wonder. You know what? I know PolitiFact checks mostly political statements from politicians and such, but has PolitiFact ever checked FOX for false statements? "

He gestures towards his ear, and says, "I'm hearing they have."

The video is not only funny, but Stewart proves how much Fox News' statements are false. I really, really loved it.

Furthermore, the next day PolitiFact.com released the following post: 

Jon Stewart's PolitiFact segment: The annotated edition 

As many of our readers already know, a certain late-night comic aired a five-minute-plus segment last night featuring our work. We thought our readers might appreciate a one-stop-shopping source for all the Fox News-related fact checks that Jon Stewart cited on his June 21, 2011, show. So we created one.

If you don't believe what the list proves, then all you have to do is read about it here, or do your own investigative reporting.
