VIDEO- Fox Lie: Obama Watched HBO Documentary Instead Of Election Results

By GottaLaff

Yes, they actually labeled it a "News Alert!!!!"



How moronic do you have to be to falsely quote Robert Gibbs, whose every word is transcribed, video'd, recorded, and memorized?

Gibbs never said the president watched the documentary last night. He was asked that question but replied that he didn’t know.

He was asked if the president watched the returns. To that, Gibbs replied that the president was not sitting in front of the TV watching them.

On the topic of the documentary, Gibbs was asked if the president liked it. He replied that Obama had seen it before and did enjoy it.

Of course, that's all it took for the minions to dutifully follow ClusterFox's lead. The lie made its way to right wing sites and it's out there now. Retractions and corrections are meaningless once the cycle begins, and Fox and friends know it.

The only time you have to use the original title is in the Latest Breaking News section.

9. I didn't know you could "watch" elections? I thought you could vote in 'em,
and follow the returns on the Internet....
But who wants to watch a bunch of talking heads doing a lot of talking?
How is that watching anything worth watching? How is that "watching" the elections?

I don't even get it? :shrug:
