Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
I think Bill O'Reilly made Obama look like a fool in sheep's clothing. Agree? (see the 10 minute video)
O’REILLY: –Douglas Shulman, former IRS chief, he was cleared into the White House 157 times, more than any of your cabinet members, more than any other IRS guy in the history, by far. OK, why was Douglas Shulman here 157 times? Why?
On May 30, 2013, O’Reilly told his viewers that this may be a “smoking gun” in the IRS controversy.
A day later, The Atlantic’s Garance Franke-Ruta discovered that the “smoking gun” was FALSE: Shulman had been cleared for a series of routine White House gatherings, but only attended 11 events over the course of four years. The “157 times” WAS FALSE.
But did that stop O'Reilly from pushing the LIE? Hell NO!
That just demonstrates Fox News lack of journalistic integrity and lack of professional rigor. And it absolutely confirms what the President said... Fox News is in the business of pushing manufactured controversies. And their viewers are dumb and bigoted enough to believe them.
Who is the FOOL:

ReplyDeleteYes, Obama proved his point. Fox is completely unfair. No news there.
