Ellen Barkin lashes out at Fox News in a recent interview, accusing the network of "blatant lying."
The outspoken Barkin has a reputation for candor, whether in person or on her Twitter account, and her take on the News Corp. entity is no exception.
She tells the Los Angeles Times magazine, "Well, were experiencing divisiveness in terms of our politics. Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of...I dont know...News Corp, maybe?
"They have identified themselves with this extremist, right-wing insurgency of a partythis Tea Party. They call it a grassroots movement. Grassroots? Youre attached to the wrong ship. And that just shows you the enormousand dont misquote me here!the enormous success that has killed us in terms of Fox News."
Barkin then attacks the channel for lacking journalistic integrity, "The blatant lying that passes itself off as journalism. I dont even need to get there to go mental. Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson -- Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw -- just lying on the news? Let alone the entertainment factor -- you know, news as entertainment."

I’m doing my best!
I guarantee Fox is more honest than the crap this woman watches.
Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson — Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw ..................................... At this point of the script I thought John Semens nailed it again. I thought it was Satire.
You’re doin’ a darn good job! :)
Wow, she’s been botoxed and boobed. Look at those lips....damn.... Problem is she still can’t act. Guess she thought a little attention would get her a part in another
“b” movie.
YMMV
Fox News is hardly “rightwing”.
I guess “grassroots” means you have establishment and political support from the top down and funding from billionaires. lol.
Please list the top 10 lies of Fox News...I like this game...
Please tell us, for each of the lies, the truth.
Did so. Did not. Did so. Did not.
You didn't list her silent movie flicks...
Looks like Tammy Faye has lost some weight.
Thank you, sweet lady!
Hey, Ellen. What about Dan Rather, you know, who actually manufactured documents to try to sway a presidential election?
Methinks thou is barkenth up the wrong tree.
Of the entire list of movies, the only one I recognized and went to was “The Big Easy”. Otherwise I have not heard nor gone to any of these. I stongly suspect I did not miss a thing!
I can only imagine how frightful she must look in the morning before she puts her plastic face on! Fright night!
Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw just lying on the news?
Um....yes I can.
ROFLMAO! That's the best line & laugh I've had all night!
I actually thoght she was sexy in Sea of Love with Al Pacino. What a bod! Then I found out she had a body double. Then I found out that her mouth is crooked because of botched cosmetic surgery. Nothing is real about this woman. Not even her career. How she ever got work in Hollywood is a mystery to me. The casting couch can only take you so far. Stupid and uninformed is forever.
She is an actress, one I liked up until I read this article. It is amazing how the left continually projects their BS onto the right.
