Falsehoods from FOX NEWS

Fox News Boycott - Boycott the Fox News sponsors!


Fox News Falsehood About Pelosi Calling Protesters Nazis

Gregg Jarrett, an anchor on Fox News, falsely claimed that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi “sort of suggested that any American citizen who dared voice an objection in a protest is a Nazi, apparently based on one isolated incident.”
The truth is that she’s never called a protester a Nazi, compared a protesters to Nazis, [...]


Gretchen Carlson Gets Cash For Clunker Stat Wrong

Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson claimed to have performed some “crack research” about the Cash for Clunkers program, but you’d have to be smoking crack to believe it…
CARLSON: By the way, I did my own crack research yesterday, spent a tremendous amount of time on this yesterday finding out information. In my home state [...]


Glenn Beck Spreads Lies and Fear About Cars.Gov Site

Emails about the cash for clunkers web site, Cars.Gov, like the following one shown below are going around, fueled by the latest Glenn Beck fear mongering. Keep in mind that it is 100% BS.

First, if you go to Cars.Gov, your computer will not be taken over. I’ve done it, I know it doesn’t [...]


Fox News Hosts Criticize Obama on Nonexistent Provision

The Drudge Report & Rush Limbaugh have floated a false accusation that President Obama has not read, or is not familiar with certain provisions of the House health care reform bill. Even after the accusations were debunked, Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Neil Cavuto, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade all criticized Obama for the same [...]


Sean Hannity ‘Slams’ Obama on Behalf of Mayo Clinic

On July 21, Sean Hannity uttered another falsehood about Obama and health care reform. Hannity incorrectly stated that the Mayo Clinic “slams the president’s [health care] proposal.” Furthermore, Hannity referred to it as Obama’s “nanny state, cradle to the grave, womb to the tomb, nationalized health care socialized system.”
Hannity must not keep up [...]


Glenn Beck Repeats More Stimulus Falsehoods

Glenn Beck, failing to verify whether the apparent source of his misinformation, the Drudge Report, had its facts straight, repeated the claim that $1.4million of economic stimulus funds would be used to “repair a door.”
The fact of the matter is that the “door,” in reality, are large hangar doors at Dyess Air Force Base in [...]


Sean Hannity Spreads Health Insurance Falsehood

Sean Hannity has been caught making stuff up about health care reform again. I love the comments and emails about how Fox News reports the truth. Take a look at the following and tell me how, exactly, is Hannity reporting the truth…
HANNITY: — artificial deadline — but the more people become aware of what’s in [...]


Fox News Promotes & Debunks Lies About Czars

An increasingly common conservative attack against President Obama is to address the so-called czars and questioning their accountability. Fox News’ Jane Skinner brought up the question of whether or not having czars is constitutional and if there would be any oversight.
Fox News even displayed a graphic titled “All The President’s Czars” (see below). Included are [...]


Andrew Napolitano’s Falsehood About GM Testimony

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano filled in for Glenn Beck and proceeded to cast his own Beck-like aspersions about lack of testimony in the General Motors’ bankruptcy case. Napolitano stated, “[t]here was no testimony whatsoever in court.”
From the court’s Finding of Fact:
In accordance with the Court’s Case Management Order #1, direct testimony was [...]


Sean Hannity Caught Manipulating More Video of Obama

Known for manipulating video for desired shameful effect and badly misquoting Barack Obama, Sean Hannity was caught doing it again, this time of Obama discussing the Cold War. Obama acknowledged the roles of past leaders to lift the Iron Curtain, but the video Hannity aired was edited to exclude that part:
OBAMA: There were a [...]



About FNB

FoxNewsBoycott.com exists for one purpose – to help people realize that Fox News Channel and its personalities are a detriment to journalism and journalistic integrity. Fox News claims to be “fair and balanced;” however, empirical evidence and research shows that that is simply not the case.

You are encouraged to boycott, not only Fox News Channel, but Fox News sponsors and companies that air Fox News in their places of business. Send the message that you will not be persuaded by biased reporting and propaganda by not supporting those who support this behavior. Please feel free to use the sample letter to contact companies that support FNC.

It is not our place to dictate which main stream media outlet provides the most accurate and/or unbiased representation of current events. The media, in its vast majority, can and will make errors from time to time and various opinionated personalities may have a particular partisan slant to their editorials. That is for someone else to discuss on another web site.

FoxNewsBoycott.com Mission:

We resolve to provide factual evidence that FNC’s “fair and balanced” reporting is neither fair, nor balanced.
