Example of Fox News Twisting the Facts in GOP Debate


In this article that I screen-capped from the Fox News website, you can see that Fox News is staying true to their credo of twisting, spinning and distorting the facts. If you saw this clip from the GOP Debate:

Ron Paul vs Giuliani on the Root Causes of Terrorism

You can see, hear and understand very clearly that Ron Paul was arguing the point that the terrorists are reacting to our interventionist policies in their countries in the middle-east. But of course, in a desperate and obvious effort to discredit Ron Paul and give some cheap brownie points to Giuliani, they have published this huge and glaring "mistake" which says that Ron Paul suggested we invited the attacks because of our non-interventionist policies.

This is a HUGE mistake, it is exactly the opposite of what he said, and a very telling tactic by Fox News.

***UPDATE***
Here is what happened after the debate:

You wrote this at 9:45PM PST so you could post it to digg.com where you saw it half an hour earlier 9:15PM PST posted by the user 'understudy'. You should at least give 'understudy' the credit for this.

That being said, I guess it's good that it is here in case it disappears from digg.com. Cheers.
