"If we don't act, taxes will go up for every single American, starting next year. And I'm not about to let that happen," Obama said Monday...
Even though this is a Fox story (I abhor Fox), do you believe direct quotes are fake?
Believe it or not, FOX is actually more balanced than CNN and MSNBC. I'll explain: FOX bias is so obvious that it is quite easy to extract what's real news and what's not. CNN and specially MSNBC are very manipulative and have just as much an agenda as FOX but it is way harder to differentiate. You actually have to do independent research from other sources to clarify what's news and what's spin, specially MSNBC.
Also, FOX doesn't lie with quotes as you imply. What they do is they quote something and then they begin spinning the quote (which is obvious to anybody with half a brain).
So no, FOX doesn't "make up" quotes...
Right. The quotes appear accurate, the interpretation and context are typically spun.
If you have an idea something may not be true why would you even post it?
Do you believe the president said this? I keep hearing OWS insists rich people have to be taken to the cleaners. At the bare minimum, isn't the argument that people should be taxed "equally"?
