Sunday host Chris Wallace generally lives in peaceful co-existence with Fox News Channel’s opinion folks, except when he hears some of them echo President Donald Trump’s criticism of the news media.
Fake news? He’s fighting back.
“It bothers me,” Wallace said in an interview. “If they want to say they like Trump, or that they’re upset with the Democrats, that’s fine. That’s opinion. That’s what they do for a living.
“I don’t like them bashing the media, because oftentimes what they’re bashing is stuff that we on the news side are doing. I don’t think they recognize that they have a role at Fox News and we have a role at Fox News. I don’t know what’s in their head. I just think it’s bad form.”
- But every word he spewed will continue to be gospel to the Fox Nation:
Fox News ran a story on Oct. 8 about a decorated Vietnam War Navy SEAL and glass artist who created an enormous presidential glass seal he hoped to give to President Trump. On Thursday, 11 days later, the network retracted the story after being told the Trump supporter never served in the SEALs or in Vietnam, much less earned commendations for his service. [...]
The man’s claimed record turned out to be a fabrication. It was first discovered by former Navy SEALs. Both these SEALs and family members of Garofalo contacted Fox News about the story, according to the Navy Times.
Don Shipley, a retired SEAL, told the Navy Times that he contacted Fox on Oct. 9, the day after the story ran.
But the story was still on the news outlet’s Facebook page on Oct. 19. By then it had amassed 1.5 million views.
A dead pelican has been found in Alabama with black electrical tape wrapped around its beak and a rope wrapped around one wing and its feet.
- A funny tweet went viral, produced a lot of funny responses, and of course a number of fake Taiwan Jones’ Twitter accounts (get a life, people). But to the real Mr. Jones? Sucks to be you:
On today’s Kagro in the Morning show, GoldStarGate continues, and Mister General John Kelly is baffled at having gotten up with fleas. Trump won’t give up on his fake Renoir. Gorsuch sucks. Trump nominees just skipping confirmation. Plus listener contributions from Eric Posner and David Raatz.
