"I expect lies from the government here. I don't expect it from other journalists. It's frankly incredibly disappointing."
Dude, then you have not been paying attention.

I see the labels for this post and it says "Fox News" and "lies." However these lies generate money. They create lies because for some reason people watch it. People like the "Fire and Brimstone" frame which generates fear. Alot of people know Fox News has a conservative bias but alot dont and they take that "Fair & Balanced" banner pretty seriously. Last year Fox News tried playing Glenn Beck's rally as one of the biggest rallies ever. The estimated 500,000 people at the rally and then they would should footage of a completely different rally(CBS reported 87,000 at the rally.) You have to give Nic Robertson credit for calling out Fox News. Alot of news networks try to ignore Fox News because they think if they ignore them then they will die down. Its nice to see someone take the initiative(besides Stewart and Colbert).
