faux news thinks robert menendez D-NJ is a republican....they fail at the most basic in politics

a politician's party is about as basic as politics can get, but rupert murdoch's fantasy news can't seem to get that right.

Fox News knows that much of its audience doesn't know the difference and
if labeling somebody with a different party helps make the case they are pushing
then so be it.

Fox News lies as easy as a healthy person breaths.

...whenever they get hist with a scandal.

If it pushes a line they want, it's "R" so that their low-information viewers aren't confused by being on the same side as a "D".

If it's a sex or money scandal, it's "D" so that the same viewers associate those things with "D"
