Fox News once again proves how dumb it is

You guys are definitely watching too much Fox News. Nope, the graphic by Fox News clearly makes the point that according to them, a trillion dollar coin would actually have to be made from a trillion dollars worth of platinum. You can spin and deflect, but the graphic is clear.

Here is yet another brilliant Fox News moment. Fox News makes the allegation that teaching algebra is a socialist plot to indoctrinate the youth of our nation.


“But even worse is the way some textbooks are pushing the liberal agenda,” the Fox News host explained, pointing to an algebra worksheet that Scholastic says gives students “nsight into the distributive property as it applies to multiplication.”





“Distribute the wealth!” Bolling exclaimed, reading the worksheet. “Distribute the wealth with the lovely rich girl with a big ole bag of money, handing some money out.”

Co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle explained that the algebra worksheet had put her on “high alert” for the liberal agenda in her 6-year-old son’s curriculum.

“Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm,” Guilfoyle added to mock the so-called indoctrination video.

“So it starts in third grade and guess what happens?” Bolling remarked. “Through their whole educational experience, they continually get indoctrinated, even through college.”

Here is the "offensive worksheet" by Scholastic.

I never thought it about before but if Jimmy has six apples and gives two to Jane and three to Bob, he IS distributing the wealth. This is horrible. It teaches children to give other children their possessions.

Next, they'll be indoctrinating them with "Play fair and share."

And you expect reporters to be smart? The journalism students I knew in college were the ones who flunked out of other programs.

But you only choose to highlight the mistakes Fox News makes because that is all that Media Matters feeds you. And other media sources won't attack their liberal bretheren.

If you watch with an objective mind you will see tons of mistakes made daily even at prestigious papers like the New York Times. For good laughs, see how much your local news screws up, when they actually run news.
