Last night at approximately 7:30 p.m., Fox New's Carl Cameron was reporting on Mitt Romney's comments that "Nobody has asked to see my birth certificate".
Cameron stated "Romney said Barack Obama's birth certificate is authentic", when what Romney actually said was that he (Romney) believes Obama was born in Hawaii.
Cameron also stated: "Most people think President Obama's birth certificate is legitimate". While this statement may on the surface, be true, it is shameless disinformation. What does it matter what most people think on this issue? Most forensic experts who examine the document have stated there are some obvious flaws in the document that make it likely it was tampered with.
My question to fellow Freepers is this: why is Carl Cameron of Fox News assuming the role of Obama Administration propagandist? Does he feel the pressure from the Administration's FCC? This is blantant disinformation, and it is coming from Fair and Balanced Fox News! Why won't Fox News report the truth on this issue?
This issue, along with many others, will lead to Obama’s demise on election day.
I think it was Baer who explained that the previous poll showing the big Obama lead was the LAST of the “registered voter” (RV) polls and the newest poll showing the Romney lead was the FIRST of the “likely voter” (LV) polls.
LV polls are much more expensive than RV polls because they require numerous additional questions of each person polled to filter out the persons who are registered but NOT likely to vote. Rasmussen is the only major poll that is always LV and has always had Barry capped in the mid-40’s (losing!). Now Fox's first LV poll confirms that.
In the final months of the campaign several of the large polls switch from doing RV polls to LV polls. The average of polls on RCP (a mash-up of RV and LV) will increasing show Romney improving as the RV polls are washed out or overwhelmed by the more accurate LV polling, IMO.
Regarding FOX anti-birther stance, Ailes is about winning, as is the GOP-e and threatened or not. Absent a new revelation of evidence that Barry was born in Kenya, the moderate swing voters needed to drag Romney over 50% cannot be educated or persuaded by the “birther” issue prior to the election on the BC forgery claim alone, given the failure in the courts and suppression and Alinski mockery in the MSM, so GOP-e is focusing on Barry's record in office.

Actually, some of that constitutes false advertising, on the part of Fox “NEWS”, “OPINIONS”, including this one are not “NEWS”. The media has been disguising opinions as news for quite some time now and they should not be allowed to do that, raised eyebrows and dumb looks should not be a part of “NEWS”.
I mostly care about whether or not a “media outlet” even reports a given story or not, or gives it adequate coverage time.
ABCNNBCBS do not.
But they do tend to make crap up.
He is a unionRAT who does a pp job of pretending to be "moderate" he just looks stupid.
Greta is what she is, but she brings on Sarah and Rush and seems un-affiliated.
I think Hannity does a good job despite his shrillness. He brings on leftie screamers and lets them make fools of themselves.
Full disclosure. I am no longer a FNC subscriber.
Come on!
If they can find out who is a registered voter, they can find out who voted in the last general and primary elections.
That is more reliable information than just asking them, they could lie.
I would prefer to defeat Obama based on his positions on the issues, his policies, the things that he has done, etc. I actually think he was physically born in the U.S., but grew up with a value system that is very contrary to that which this country was founded upon. He doesn’t believe the U.S. is exceptional - he doesn’t believe in private property rights - he doesn’t believe in limited government, etc. It is these issues that we must focus on. Even Dinesh D’Souza said he believes that Obama was born in Hawaii - but no one will ever accuse D’Souza of being on Obama supporter.
Propaganda and disinformation are both evil. It is scary as an American to see how easy it is for the media to mislead the American people. Most people do not question what they are told by the MSM, or if they hear it enough they will believe it.
Check the donations by employees. It mirrors other news organizations from the several articles posted here recently. 5 to 1 or worse for Obama. Can’t recall specifically.
Cameron is a Dusch bag.
Exactly. I cannot understand why Carl Cameron could not just report what was said and what had taken place. Why did he feel the need to obfuscate and provide disinformation? Is this in his contract?
LOL!
I don’t know what it is, but recently it’s been a “dump on Fox news” around here. Are they perfect,no, but IMO it’s the only game in town if you want to watch TV news. All things considered I like Fox, and will certainly watch their coverage over any other news feed.
I agree, they are not perfect but the best game in town. I was just really surprised to see really sloppy reporting on FN. So sloppy it could hardly be an accident. More disinformation disguised as news that one usually finds on the MSM channels.
Naturally I’m concerned Fox News is going commie.
