Fact Checker Finds 60% Of Fox News Statements To Either Be Mostly False Or A Lie

PunditFact tallied up all of the statements that they evaluated from the three cable news networks and found that 60% of all the statements they examined from Fox News were mostly false or worse.

Fox News viewers are the least informed of all media consumers.

Someone needs to start just a Fox News Watch chart, Deciphering and following the lies that go from Fox to other News outlets with out any ethics. Look at the DANGERS of people taking Fox News and others as facts. War, Near Depression and Worldwide Banking Crises with the help of a negligent media. Try looking at Trumps worth in 2000 to 2015 to see how much money people like him made in real-estate, a large part of crises.

The Founder was a gay Conservative at one time then saw the light and so "went to war" on Fox News.
Whats even worse they only tell the truth 10% of the time and 11 percent part true.

But they know they can lie all they want with country rubes as long as you support pro-life and/or unlimited guns. The snake-oil salesman of old times went from small town to small town cheating them out of their hard earned $ on " cure all snakeoil". Some things never change.
