Newshound Falsehood Debunked...by Newshound Video!
Updated! Sometimes it's just too easy; you'd think that they'd know better by now. We're speaking of the newshounds (another fine product of the Outfoxed cabal). It was bad enough when we would post videos that exposed their lies about Fox News. But now they're even relieving us of that responsibility. Their own videos prove them wrong!
Chrish starts out with a bold-type HeadLie:
Kilmeade on FOX: McCain "one of us now"And it just gets better from there:
[Brian Kilmeade] thinks John McCain has come around, shedding his maverick persona in order to unify the Republican party around his candidacy.... Kilmeade interrupted, joking that McCain is "totally out of control," and needed to be "reigned in." "Just kidding, governor, he's one of us now!" Yes, he is; maverick no more. Another inadvertent truth brought to you by one of McCain's Friends at FOX.There is just one slight problem with this hound exposé of Kilmeade's alleged comments about McCain: it ain't true. Kilmeade said nothing about McCain, and never mentioned his name. Shall we go to the transcript?
HOOVER: The Republican Party was more fractured when John McCain got the nomination. And here it is, way together, supporting their nominee in a way you just don't see in the Democrat Party.What!? Kilmeade was talking about Mike Huckabee!? Apparently newsmutt Chrish missed a few clues here:
KILMEADE: Although Huckabee's totally out of control. That guy's gotta be reigned in. Just kidding, Governor. He's one of us now.
- Huckabee is a governor (McCain isn't).
- Huckabee works for Fox and to Kilmeade would therefore be "one of us" (McCain doesn't work for Fox).
- Oh and one more: Kilmeade said "Huckabee", not "McCain"!
Another newspoodle article entirely based on a false premise. Despite several commenters pointing out how wrong the article is, so far no correction or retraction has been made. At this rate, all we need now to put the icing on the cake is for Keith Olbermann to pilfer this phony story for his nightly Fox News attack, without of course checking whether it's true. After all, he's done that before.
UPDATE: Just for the record, here's our comment exposing the newspooch falsehoods. You have to read it here because it has, of course, been deleted. The hounds are so interested in truth after all:
UPDATE UPDATE: Our pal Chrish has apparently thrown in the towel on this one:
Apparently Brian Kilmeade was NOT referring to McCain being "one of us" but rather to Governor Mike Huckabee, offstage, who is of course a former Republican candidate and current FOX News contributor. My mistake; sincere apologies. I do wish Kilmeade wasn't such a mush-mouth.Note that the original HeadLie stands, as does everything else. The correction is tacked on the end as an "amendment". Be that as it may, we congratulate the hounds for doing the right thing, this time.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Chrish has now clarified her headline as well. Props for that. We have modified our headline to reflect her action.

Yep. It's pretty clear that he says "Huckabee", not McCain in the video. But the hounds don't care.They have tunnelvision.

One of my posts was also deleted and I think one of vstol's posts were also deleted at NH.
At the bottom of the comments page, NH gives three reasons why a post may be deleted. I daresay that none of the deleted posts I just referenced were contrary to NH's listed reasons for deletion.
Keep in mind that Ellen says that she "bends over backward to give people who disagree with her a platform."
I am just not seeing it.

I've added an amend; apparently Kilmeade was talking about Huckabee, not McCain. That's embarrassing; sorry.

The commenters at newsliars are amazingly sheepish. Check any thread. They need evidence of nothing. But, when evidence is posted proving them wrong, it's immeditely discounted then deleted.

vstol,
Reminds me of the old Gilda Radner routines on SNL. She would play an old lady commentator who misheard something and got the wrong idea of what someone else said. She would go on and on (in her commentary) about how wrong the person was that she misheard.
Finally, Jane Curtain would explain to her what the person actually said.
Radner would smile and say, "nevermind."
This is truly a "nevermind" moment for NH.

I like how Chrish blames it on Kilmeade being a "mush-mouth" when really its her lack of listening skills and desire to find ANYTHING to complain about FOX.

Haggis,
Must be nice to have god-like powers so that anything you say is true because you pronounced it into being. Since you have this godlike ability you don't need to justify anything you say. It is true because you said it.
Yeah . . . right.

Haggis instead of constantly dealing in the hypothetical, please post for our consideration, the incident/s you're referring to when you suggest that FNC doesn't apologize for mistakes.

JohntheBaptist, wasn't that just awful!
I just read Chrish's little backward slap at Kilmeade in an attempt to justify her slander towards him!
Doesn't that action just say it all!

Hmmm when Johnny went to your site, he issued no threats nor did he try to intimidate anybody.
All he did was politely point out a mistake the writer of the article made . . . a mistake that she herself not admits she made.
You come to this site with no other purpose but to threaten and to intimidate.
Tell me again, who is harassing whom?
I get confused.

Thanks for that.
There is a companion film to OUTFOXED. Something like THE MAKING OF OUTFOXED. Ellen Brodsky, I understand, appears in the film. However, I never wanted to buy that trash just to see what Ellen Brodsky looks like.

Don't look now but the good ol Sam has taken some of our posts here out of context and posted them at Newshounds. I was tempted to say in reply that nothing says class more than this post from their fearless leader, Ellen.
Congratulations, john t, on getting banned. As far as Im concerned, you cant be too rude to that little prick.

But I decided not to. Probably not a good idea to post at NH a lot. If you do, please be courteous and civil. Let them do all the abusive cross-site posting. Remember Ellen told her NH followers that it is impossible to be too rude when they post here.
(this is what I intended to post first, sorry)
