Obama Officials Use Fox News to Smear Conservative Group in Shootings
Right Side News ^ | January 9, 2011 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 01/09/2011 7:40:33 PM PST by RightSideNews

However, Jennifer Griffin of Fox News recklessly and irresponsibly claimed on Sunday morning that the killer was a political conservative. Using Obama officials as her sources, she reported that “intelligence gathered by the Department of Homeland Security and shared with state officials across the United States” had revealed “a strong suspicion” that the shooter was influenced by a conservative publication called American Renaissance (AR).

The left is totally unhinged. There can be no common ground with people like Hussein, Reid or the Arizona shooter.

She is hard news, she was miss-lead by her liberal friends.

She needs to get a strong reprimand for believing her friends.

I can’t figure out what the deal is on Amren. I keep seeing people here defend it. I know when I posted their website it got deleted with the moderator saying that site wasn’t welcome on Fr and hadn’t been for a long time.

Well I have been telling people this for almost a year. Fox is not our friend. Nothing on TV is your friend. A few religious shows maybe but your cable bill is divided up so CNN/Time Warner get $5 to 6 a month. As do all the others. And the networks own 95% of all the channels.

The problem is that Fox has been corrupted.

This is so below Fox News standards. It was convincingly established within a few hours after the shooting that the perp was another mentally deranged left-winger.

Now that FOX has secured the right thinking Americans, they can now morph into just another Commie mouthpiece.
All of the networks can then combine to be like the old Radio Moscow.

Look, folks, the entire news media, from A-Z looks like buffoons across the board. Not one channel has got things right!!! But, then again, why blame only the media, when our law enforcement officials from Local to Federal are a carbon copy of the “Keystone Cops”!!! Sad days for America. We have lost it!!! See, that is what happens when you put a community organizer in the White House!!! American voters, you did this to yourselves!!!

Haven’t watched Fox News in months...and don’t listen to Hannity’s radio show anymore as well. And you know, I feel much better (less frustration) and still manage to stay informed.

The potential mistake that Fox made here is to actually believe what this government was telling them. But it goes to show that Fox is just as willing to believe the liberal media template as any of the other networks. If they had taken a look at HillBuzz, they would have gotten more truth than they did from DHS.

C’mon RSN, surely you can give us more than two sentences. FR does not require rightsidenews.com to be excerpted.

I believe this has been proven false.

AR is east coast and Jared Loughren is not on their member list.

Jennifer Griffen should know better by now.

Anyone who hasn't noticed that FNC has moved to the left isn't paying attention. It is, at best, RINOvision and its main objective seem to be attacking Sarah Palin.

I’ve been posting about this...Fox ran with it...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/09/arizona-suspected-gunman-no-stranger-to-trouble/#ixzz1AbHM0RTR

And almost immediately it was all over MSNBC/NBC...

Neo tried it last year and got blasted - shows they couldn’t care less as they’re doing it again -

I’ve been teetering on whether to get rid of my TV altogether - this weekend has been the deciding factor.
