"Fox & Friends’: Defeat of ‘Communist Japan’ Proves U.S. Is a Great Nation"
https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-and-friends-defeat-of-communist-japan-proves-us-is-a-great-nation

"On Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, Ainsley Earhardt proudly recalled the United States defeating “communist Japan.” She was responding to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who said Wednesday that America “was never that great.” In her patriotic fervor, she fudged some of the details in a passionate defense of the nation: “We defeated communist Japan, radical Islamists..."



And, this is also from today.:

Fox News paid tribute to soul legend Aretha Franklin with a photo of Patti Labelle

I saw the 'communist japan' earlier was thinking typical fox talking head but to confuse the 2 singers is just inexcusable. I mean they really don't look anything alike, I can tell the difference and I'm a white guy.

WTF Fox, that's pathetic and shameful even by your own sockpuppet standards. No excuse for the disrespecting the Franklin family like that. As for communist Japan, yeah. Reminds me of that skeletal hag Ann Coulter, insisting Canada helped fight the North Vietnamese. Where are these idiots getting their history? Xi Jinping?
 
At least they got the main image right... top corner... yeah... that kind of feeds into the whole "Fox News, #1 with racists, they all look alike" kind of thing.

Worse is their apology.

“We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends,” spokeswoman Jessica Santostefano said in a statement to HuffPost. “Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret.”

Yeah that performance.... Aretha wasn't in it. LaBelle was performing by herself.

In fairness to Faux Aretha was at that White House concert they took the Patti Labelle picture from. And give them points for not mistaking her with Ariana Grande or Janelle Monae, who also performed there.
 
Yeah... That's a completely bullshit apology. Almost as bad as the woman running for state house in Florida who created a fake diploma but said in apology that it was never her intent to deceive.

Did she perform with Patti Labelle during that concert? If not, "in fairness" does not apply, just "in stupidity."

Except that said she was in the picture but got blocked by the graphic. That is completely false. The only fair thing to say is they, as usual, are full of shit and can't admit a mistake.
 
I once met a millennial while waiting in the lounge of the smog-test facility for my car.

CNN was digging into the past with mention of Robert McNamara. I said something about the Cold War.

"Oh! I remember that! We learned about that in school! We were fighting the columnists!"

I left, wondering whether or not someone shot George Will. I'm glad now that nobody did. Columnist or not, he no longer supports the GOP.
 
FAUX NEWS MADE A MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
