Brian Stelter shocked by 'Fox & Friends' error

By Anonymous -

Brian Stelter discusses President Donald Trump's close relationship with Fox News, highlighting clips from the network with false information.

There's being bad at geography, an affliction from which many Americans suffer, and then there's being really bad at geography. Whoever writes the on-screen text for Fox & Friends Weekend appears to be in the latter category.

How else would the morning news show have wound up with a chyron that claims the existence of three distinct Mexicos?

The chyron error, captured by CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter, reads "Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries." The obvious issue being that there is only one Mexican country. It is called Mexico.


The actual news behind the graphic involved the Trump administration cutting aid to El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, none of which are Mexico. Only one of them, Guatemala, shares a border with Mexico.

Later in the day, as reported by Talking Points Memo, Fox correspondent Ed Henry issued an on-air correction for the chyron, calling it "inaccurate" and apologizing for the error.

Henry offered no explanation as to how Fox & Friends could have possibly referred to three different countries as Mexico plural. It's almost as if the show, and its number one fan in the White House, routinely misstate and misunderstand Central American facts in order to rile up its political base.

Almost.

SO something really sooper-extra stupid happened on Fox News today. Like something so cartoonishly absurd people honestly thought it was a photoshop.


Man, that is bad. I know some will reflexively defend Fox News, but this is exactly what you would expect from a channel that fit liberals’ exaggerated accusations against them. Don’t do it, Fox.
There were some funny jokes about it:

And this jerk:
But check out Stelter’s reaction:
And he beat up Fox News on his show too:
This is the very definition of “pouncing” that the media uses falsely against the right. The mainstream media has just been slapped down with an incredibly devastating defeat in the collusion wars, and Stelter is going to focus on this, admittedly stupid, error from Fox News.

That’s the “objective” news – when the media or democrats make a mistake, Stelter brings on liberals to defend them, and when Fox News or Trump or some conservative makes a mistake, Stelter brings on liberals to attack them. Perfectly fair, right? LOL!

And that’s why we don’t trust Stelter ever, and why we mock him mercilessly.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
