The Fox Team: Making It Up

Apparently, dishonestly rewriting history is perfectly acceptable at Fox News.

On a recent Fox News show Martha MacCallum introduced a segment claiming that, “After weeks of economic doom and gloom, the Obama administration is now singing a slightly different tune."

Video clips were shown of various administration officials making seemingly positive comments about the current state of the economy. One of the clips was of Vice President Biden saying, “The fundamentals of the economy are strong!”

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that’s why John McCain could say with a straight face as recently as this morning and this is a quote, “the fundamentals of the economy are strong.” That’s what John said. He says that “We’ve made great progress economically in the Bush years.”
