Faux News’ facty fiction
I don’t live in the USA, so I’ve never actually seen Fox News properly. However, I have seen enough clips on YouTube and via the likes of Bill Maher and The Daily Show to realise how they treat reality. 1 Sky News, as hilarious as it is, isn’t a patch on Fox.
However, though the magic of Digg, I came across this article on the Fox News web site, Report: Non-Muslims Deserve to Be Punished. Now, obviously being sceptical of Fox News’ analysis, I thought I’d check their “source”, which turns out to be Islam Watch, run by islamic apostates.
It’s rather hilarious really, because Islam Watch’s “report” is nothing of the sort, what Fox News quoted was a work of fiction.
Editor’s note: The question / answer session [that Fox News reported] is a satirical and fictional account based on Quranic verses and statements of Muslims who unfortunately take some hateful teachings of the Quran literally. Some readers have been mistaking it as a genuine conversation. Also according to East London Mosque Abdul Makin was never employed by them although he and his fellow convicted perverters of justice did lie about being at the Mosque at the time listening to one of Abdul’s speeches there.
It almost makes me appreciate the BBC.
- Please feel free to correct me if Fox News doesn’t pretend to be representative of reality [↩]
