Fox Nation Ties Cleveland Kidnapper To Anti-Islam Video Maker, Benghazi, And Obama"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>These freakin&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/UPoI6a\" target=\"_blank\">slimeballs at Fox Nation<\/a> continue to demonstrate that they have no morals whatsoever. Not to mention no integrity, honesty, or decency. They will take any grotesque episode, no matter how far removed from President Obama, and attach it to him by some depraved, alien logic. Take this for instance:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNation\/foxnation-castro-bail.jpg\" alt=\"Fox Nation\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>The original article referenced by Fox Nation was from their own Fox News via the Associated Press. It reported on the arrest of Areil Castro, the charges against him, his bail, and went into some detail about the alleged crimes.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, Fox Nation focused on the one sentence in the 700+ word article that mentioned Castro&#8217;s bail. But even more baffling was their insertion of this paragraph:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The creator of the controversial anti-Islam You Tube video, that the Obama administration used in its talking points as the motivation behind the September 11th attacks in Benghazi, was held without bail.  It was later revealed that the attack in Benghazi was not a reaction to the video.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That text was not anywhere in the original article. It was composed entirely by the Fox Nationalists and inserted into the story without any disclosure that they had fabricated it themselves. It obviously has nothing to do with the story and sticks out for its surreal irrelevance.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the filmmaker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was arrested for allegedly violating terms of his probation. The judge, citing probation violations including lying to probation officials, ordered him held without bail, a common occurrence under these circumstances. He pleaded guilty to four of the charges against him and was sentenced to one year in prison and four years of supervised release.<\/p>\n<p><em>[<strong>Update:<\/strong> Fox News is now actively defending this filmmaker who they portray as a <\/em><em>&#8220;patsy&#8221;<\/em> of the Obama administration]<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-benghazi-patsy.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;..<\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>So what was the point that Fox Nation was making by embedding this extraneous content into the article? Clearly they were drawing some sort of deranged parallel between Obama, Nakoula, and Castro. Perhaps their purpose was to imply that Obama personally interceded to insure that Nakoula was held incommunicado to keep him from exposing Obama&#8217;s covert plot to promote the video and inspire a global Islamic uprising. Or maybe Fox was attempting to suggest that Obama had some sympathy for Castro and secretly engineered his bail (at only $8 million). Or maybe Fox just hadn&#8217;t written the word <em>&#8220;Benghazi&#8221;<\/em> in the past five seconds and thought this would be a good time to slip it in again.<\/p>\n<p>What on earth are these imbeciles thinking? They just lost a historic election that they were convinced would be a cake-walk for the GOP. They underwent what they themselves called a <em>&#8220;postmortem&#8221;<\/em> analysis of their epic failures. They were named the <em>&#8220;stupid party&#8221;<\/em> by one of their most prominent governors. And yet they are still resorting to the sort of idiocy and extremism that has earned them the lowest favorable ratings in history.<\/p>\n<p>And this wasn&#8217;t even the only incident of Castro-izing Democrats today. On Fox&#8217;s America Live with Megyn Kelly, their conservative contributor Chris Plante <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/video\/2013\/05\/09\/fox-guest-on-senates-gosnell-resolution-democra\/193989\" target=\"_blank\">inexplicably said<\/a> that <em>&#8220;Ariel Castro might get the &#8216;hospitality of the year award&#8217; from the Democrats in Congress.&#8221;<\/em> What unholy orifice did he pull that from?<\/p>\n<p>This is evidence that Fox News and their GOP pals have learned nothing from the 2012 elections. It also proves that they are a gaggle of repulsive and childish mental deficients with no discernible honor or even the common civility that would permit them to go out in public among decent people. Where the fuck does it stop with these cretins?<\/p>\n<p>And not to be left out. the <em>&#8220;Moonie&#8221;<\/em> Washington Times joined in with this asinine crap:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Misc\/washtimes-castro-dem.jpg\" alt=\"Washington Times\" width=\"500\" \/><\/center><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These freakin&#8217; slimeballs at Fox Nation continue to demonstrate that they have no morals whatsoever.
