News bulletins around the world have been following Russia's election rallies. But one channel stands out - America's Fox News has been showing streets ablaze, violent clashes and firebombs thrown at security officers, but with one major problem - the images are not from Russia, they're from Greece!

    Trying to prevent Putin from being elected. Putin called H. Clinton out on this.

    Putin’s well aware of Hilliary’s work on the April Spring campaign and look how well it has worked out for Egypt, Libya, and Syria.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    FOX is hardly real journalism. The same can be said for any mainstream media.

    Seems they have a habit of pulling off shit like this - though they keep gettin caught at it.

    Isn't there a law against this bullshit in America? Or is knowingly deceiving people with fabricated news footage in order to sway public opinion acceptable in a U.S court of law?

    the motive??

    to frame the debate...

    watch fox news the day before and the day of the next gop debate and compare the candidates' responses to the talking points on faux news those days...it is nearly an exact match, with the exception of ron paul and jon huntsmann...it is a wonder that fox news mocks these 2 guys, because they dare to go against the faux news republican policy creating network.....

    The modus operandi for Faux News. Anyone who takes this network seriously is an idiot. Fucking social conservative thinktank, which makes it absolute crap.
    I knew it all along, see?

    :lol::lol:

    The government controls the media. They do, even though many will argue that they don't.

    Yes- sensationalism at best, lies at worst. Anything but real journalism for sure.

    the sad thing is this is smart politics to get elected, if you don't like the way the republican party is going, don't blame the politicians blame the base

    Isn't Fox news parent company News Corp? Were they not caught listening in on people's voice mail and some other sort of shit?

    It doesn't matter who gets elected...they have there own agenda and that agenda doesn't include the average joe.
