Who is Richard Fowler, and why did he lie about Roy Moore on Fox News Channel?
American Thinker.com ^ | December 14, 2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

Speaking live on the Fox News Channel Tuesday night after Roy Moore was declared the loser in the special U.S. Senate election in Alabama, Richard Fowler said this: “Roy Moore is guilty of saying things like ‘LGBT people should be put to death.'” The program’s host, Shannon Bream, seemed taken aback by the assertion, which was clearly a lie – classic fake news, or in this case, fake commentary.

Fox News @ Night Tuesday December 12 2017 (Video)

Fowler, an up and coming leftist talking head, is a paid contributor to Fox News and he appears frequently on a variety of Fox News Channel programs as an expert political analyst and sometimes, as in the case of the program The Five, as one of the co-hosts.

About fourteen minutes after he said what he did about Moore, Fowler was on camera again and he corrected himself, noting that Moore had only said that LGBT should be against the law. (Actually, in a 2005 interview with leftist Bill Press on C-SPAN, Moore said when he was pressed, according to CNN, that “homosexual conduct” should be illegal.) Fowler did not offer an apology, to Moore or to the channel’s viewers, for his earlier lie.

The damage had been done, though. Fowler’s original comment on Moore was delivered with emotional emphasis, his later “correction” not so much. And not only that: for some inexplicable reason, the post-election results program on which Fowler appeared, Fox News@Night, which originally aired live from 11 P.M. to 12 midnight E.T. on FNC, was repeated four more times: at 12 Midnight and at 1, 2, and 3 A.M., with no live updates. During each replay, Fowler’s lie about Moore was heard again. It could have been edited out or bleeped, but it was not.

Moore should sue every network, newspaper, and whomever else that has slandered and libeled him from Jump Street.

Richard Fowler is a democrat, and like all demonrats he lies, because it comes natural to him and he can’t help it.

Roy Moore lost because he was defined by his political opponents.

“The way liberals are always projecting, I think it’s safe to assume what Dick Fowler would do if he had his way...

Doesn’t look like he will have to worry about any sexual harassment charges from women.

“Roy Moore is guilty of saying things like ‘LGBT people should be put to death.’”

Wrong attribution - it was God Who said “Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death”.

I dunno. Night before last Tucker Carlson swore up and down that Rod Rosenstein is a Democrat, which is false. Should he be sued too?

His “reasoning” is probably something like this: “Moore says he believes in the literal Word of the Bible, and somewhere in the Bible it says homosexuals should be put to death, therefore Moore says homosexuals should be executed.”

“Looky! Looky! I have a narrative that gets me where I want to go and helps me help my fellow travelers!”
“But is it true?”
“Why would that matter???”

I didn’t say that. Those liars are incapable of telling the truth.

Did Faux news tell us the rat line on Moore or cover him fairly.

How about their final poll on Moore losing big time released the day before the election?

Did Faux ever have a fair poll on Trump in 2016!
