    Fox news reported on part of the brief but media matters cut off the rest of the video. What did they say after it ended? It sounded like they were still talking about the EPA...

    They said "The EPA is the greatest agency in the Fed Gov't and they should hire 230,000 additional employees." No, how the hell would I know, I don't watch propaganda television (case in point, this issue). But I have a strong hunch on what FOX News didn't say after Media Matters cut the tape. And that's the hostess, who mentioned that 230,000 employees would be hired, would all of the suddenly go back and mention their source for the news. If, by small chance they did, well FOX News is also bad at broadcasting as well.

    When are you going to say you were wrong, they were not lying, they were wrong.

    Else now you are lying.

    Look you don't know if they said anything about the tailoring rule after they cut the tape. That is bad reporting on your part by not finding out and just assuming fox lied. Either find out for sure (with the rest of the show) or stop saying they lied.

    The difference between lying and to be wrong is intent. FOX News was more than just wrong, they lied when they reported that fact. A single error or two over time is admissible. A series of incorrect statements that happen to always be against the Democrat party? That's lying to meet your agenda.

    We know where the story came from, prove they were lying, that they knew it was false.

    Else retract your statement.

    If you don't then you are the one who is lying, not Fox.

    Not the difference is when you lie you knew the truth.

    YOU know now where the story came from. Retract your assertion they were lying else you are the one lying now.

    You don't know if they lied or not. Where is the rest of the video? They may have said something about the tailoring rule. Please stop saying they lied until you know for sure.

    Also, cnn (crappy news network) and msnbc always seems to be "wrong" when it harms the republican party.

    There is even a thread here

    http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...require-230-000-new-employees-21-billion.html

    So Mugabe are you accusing ptif219 of lying?

    No, ptif219 was misinformed and believed what the DailyCaller had posted. The DailyCaller had lied, and unfortunately ptif219, believed him. That's a microcosm of the American media today. They post trash and people believe it. While ptif219 didn't lie, FOX News certainly did. Again, I ask, Bluesguy, when FOX News reported that "the EPA is going to hire 230,000 employees," how come they didn't mention their source when reporting the figure? Is it, perhaps, because they were lying to purposely misinform their viewers? It wouldn't be the first time... :no:

    The story was correct and proven correct.


    If these regulations are put into place, there would be upto that many people needed to regulate.

    too bad you missed that.

    LMAO! Proven correct?
    From FOX & Friends:
    "The EPA is now going to hire 230,000 employees..."
    Are they? NO! If you actually read the report from the EPA, you'd understand that because the EPA enacted the Tailor Rule, it prevented the EPA from needing to hire 230,000 additional employees. Try to keep up Cons. :roll: :laughing:

    Wow. Reading comprehension much? You know, there was a key word in between the words you bolded, right? As in "Tailor Rule." The Tailor Rule prevented the EPA from needing to hire 230,000. Any more brain busters? :roll:

    You really need to do your homework. Do you have any idea what the Tailoring rule is?

    Absolutely comical. You just got outed for being completely oblivious to the situation. In fact, you still think the EPA is going to hire 230,000 employees. And you're going to ask me if I know what the Tailoring Rule is? :laughing: :roll:

    Not one of the articles I have read said that the EPA was actually going to hire 230,000 employees.

    Mind quoting one?

    What difference does it make what happens after the video is cut-off? The quote is straight from the horse's mouth and isn't out of context. What happens after the video is cut-off is irrelevant.

    I didn't get outed for anything.

    I simply said that if these regulations are put forth, as other posters have said, 230,000 workers will need to be hired and billions spent.

    HA! you don't know what the Tailoring Rule is. lmao...well I suspect you do now since you probably just looked it up.

    They keep saying "would require them to hire UP TO", at least in the articles I've read.
