 A former UT student pranked Fox News exposing their bias against President Obama. The young man is actually an aspiring comedian - a fact that Fox News would have realized had they bothered to do their homework. But, according to Max Rice producers at the cable news channel, "were so happy that I fit the mold and that I was Caucasian...They were just casting a part in a show." He exchanged as many as 20 emails with Fox News producers noting they were, "telling me what to say...It's so ridiculous."
Rice said that he wanted his story to get told so everyone would know that "Fox News is a fake news organization". Fox scheduled the interview with Rice after producers put out feelers for a recent college graduate who had voted for Obama, could not find work, and was voting for Mitt Romney. "The first thing that shocked me is that they were that desperate to find someone that fit that category," he told The Raw Story. He said had Fox News done the math they would have realized after watching his 2010 high school commencement speech that he wasn't set to graduate college until 2014. "They just couldn't find anyone. They're in New York City, so they had to go find a kid in Chicago."
You can view the cringe inducing video and the original report at The Raw Story.
Today Fox News was forced to report some bad news on Romney but instead of focusing on the story itself the headline read, "Romney calls 'victims' comment 'off the cuff,' as Obama campaign seizes on video". The series of secretly recorded videos feature Romney at a private fundraiser saying Obama supporters don't pay taxes, and it quickly spread across the internet. Romney is quoted saying, "These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. My job is not to worry about those people...".
Here's some news for Fox and Romney, recent college graduates who can't find any work don't pay any either. |
