Has Faux News finally gone too far for the media to ignore? (Yeah, I know, wishful thinking.) Fox took out ads in the Washington Post, New York Times andWall Street Journal accusing the media (including WaPo, NYT, CNN and others) of not covering the Fox-organized and Fox-promoted 9/12 protest in Washington. Rick Sanchez begs to differ. Sanchez calls out Fox News in no uncertain terms. Sanchez to Fox News: “You Lie!”
I suppose Fox gets away with doing this because their viewers don’t generally look at other media. I think it’s causing a real problem when people are operating under two different sets of facts. I just hope Sanchez is starting a trend. The traditional media has been scared to challenge the rightwing extremist and risk being called “liberal.” I hope the media is learning that it doesn’t matter how much you give into them, they’ll lie about you anyway.
