Review of fox news people::What Percentage of People Watch Fox News
COMMENTARY | My wife showed me a Facebook post indicating a Fox News anchor with the headline asking whether President Barack Obama caused the Russian meteor shower to drum up support for claims that global warming exists. "Is this true?" she asked, knowing I look these things up. After all, I debunked the claims that the Fox was going off the air during Obama's Inauguration in January "for routine maintenance." It didn't take long to discover that it was, indeed, the case. It was a good example of Photoshopping, if you are looking at it on the smaller screen, as most Americans do when they get their news nowadays. But that didn't stop some folks from getting hoodwinked. Former adviser to President Barack Obama Van Jones, fell for it. "Nobody's Perfect" he tweeted, after getting suckered by the political version of the Manti Te'o girlfriend story. The only speculation was where the idea came from. I've seen it juxtaposed with a skit from the Dave Chappelle Show, where a black president suspiciously resembling Morgan Freeman is blamed for a meteor shower. I wonder if it had to do with Freeman playing the U.S. president in the 1998 "Deep Impact" movie about a giant meteor hitting the Earth. Or was it the film that came out later that year "Armageddon?" It led Pat Robertson to openly speculate that a meteor might hit Orlando, Fla., if Disney went through with its plans for "Gay Day." Or maybe it had to do with the story of a CNN reporter asking Bill Nye the Science Guy if the meteor that went near Washington was the result of global warming. While people got suckered with the fake meteor story and claimed outrage about Fox News, the network did run a story where business "expert" Stuart Varney claimed President Obama was giving out free pre-school in exchange for "votes," having forgotten that he's a lame duck president, and not running for another term. If folks are really mad about Fox News, maybe they should consider watching the network rather than come up with silly Photoshop ideas. John A.
