More from Media Matters on yet another FOXNews fabrication:
On the November 2 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Megyn Kelly teased an upcoming story by saying: "Well, in other news, Barack Obama makes a little girl cry. What? That story ... in five minutes." Kelly added, "He's made me cry many times." However, as the Associated Press reported on November 2, Obama, at a campaign event in North Carolina the previous day, spoke with the young girl because she had "shed a few tears." According to the AP: "That's how Hadassah Jones, of Durham, got Barack Obama to answer questions Thursday after the campaign initially denied such requests from reporters." When co-host Bill Hemmer later reported on the story and correctly noted that Obama took "questions from a five-year-old girl after she shed a few tears and got his attention," Kelly said: "So he didn't make her cry. She was crying, and then he -- and then she stopped crying." Hemmer replied, "I didn't say he made her cry." Kelly then stated, "We said in the tease -- I was waiting to see how he made her cry." Hemmer responded: "That's why they call it a tease." Read more...
The reich wing lies? Shocker!!
...oh, and frist which I guess now is technically frecond.
SHOCKING!!
.
Faux News is a buch of funny foolers...
They almost had me on that one.
"That's why it's called a teaser."
Now stop that!
.
she has tease and whore mixed up. what a tool, i'm surprised she didn't call him osama
Next time they'll do better. Fox will hire someone to stick a needle in a kid when Obama starts talking.
I kept expecting her to say, "Like, ohmiGOD!!"
Can Fox ever tell the truth ?
I KNEW he was a covert Muslim agent.
Thank you Fox!!
It would be so easy to flood the web with pictures of people crying because of George W Bush.
They'll say anything.

Wow! I'll take my pizza with a side order of bullshit.
Fox "News" actually tells a real true strory for once! Coming up after the commerical....
Obama, Paul, Bloomberg. What a wonderful presidential election that will be.
I think she was waiting for an invitation to give a blow---!
Dear Megan Kelly formerly Kendall,
Are the rumors true about you leaving your husband for Brit Hume? Friends don't let friends change their stage name
No, that was Bush who made a 5-yr-old cry. He looked at her with his dictator sneer and that's all it took.
like anyone still considers Fox a real news organization...
As cheesy as the news in that fictional movie "Starship Troopers"
Would you like to know more?
Fixed Noise makes me cry all the time.....
FOX News teaser? I thought it was FOX News lier....
faux news from the bastards of the reichwing.
when are these fuckers going to be removed from any tv source.
Assholes!
Ignoring the obvious stupidity of the denial in the first place, I'd like to comment on the "Tease" method of attracting NEWS viewers:
WAY back when I was in college and "Pitbull maulings" were allover the news, I just HAD to purchased a copy of the tabloid "Weekly World News" because the cover read:
PITBULL EATS MOBILE HOME! with a photo of the head of an enormous dog Godzilla-like with jaws targeting a tiny building.
TWWN tabloid always insisted that there be "a least a GRAIN of truth to every story". The grain here was someone's dog chewed a hole through the flimsey front door "to get at a little girl" playing outside.
Is what Fox did here any different? Told an outlandish lie containing a grain of truth to attract viewers? Doing so proves Fox Newz is no more than a cheap tabloid.
Um, Is Anyone really surprised?
That's actually a really touching story if you drop the teaser. A politician getting down on his knees and talking to a kid like that? That's really sweet.
Of course, the beautiful simile that a five-year-old could understand is completely lost on the Fox News crew...
fox. it's latin for "lies".
The right-wing criticism of Democrats is just getting warmed up. They will cast all challengers to their grip on power with the same method - DEMONIZATION.
They should buy the 'World Weekly News' name, since the publication is now defunct, and start airing stories about 'Batboy'

Whatever.
The biggest tease ever was "Mission Accomplished". We're still waiting for that story!!
C*nt. Oh, I was just teasing.

miss_kitty @ 28:
Really?!? I used to love looking at that in the supermarket. I think it would be a blast writing copy for a rag like that; what a job.
A tease by a c*nt
[Edited-Sitemonitor]
Ooops Mugsy-looks like great minds travel the same track!!! I couldn't find the pit bull cover, but here's a good 'un

I wonder why FOX 'News' never reported this!?! Nevermind. Probably because Obama didn't 'make it cry.'
How about this for teaser. Bush makes five-year old girl cry when she is crippled by a cluster bomb. Or, Bush makes a five-year old girl cry when less than precision aerial bombardement destroys her house and wipes out her family. Or, Bush make five-year girl cry when she grows cancerous tumors from exposure to depleted uranium. Or, Bush makes a five-year old girl cry when she sees the corpses of her family who weren't smart enough to avoid a Blackwater protection unit.

It's available online now. It's where Fox 'reporters' train.

How long can Fox News function as a propaganda vehicle for the Neocons before Congress steps in to do something about it? Sure, they have their right to speak, but I bet there are all sorts of tax breaks, exemptions, and financial exceptions that the media has worked into our tax code for REAL news organizations. What if Fox News were reclassified as paid promotional advertising for the Republican Party? How would that affect things?
Obama makes me cry; why not this little girl?
Right....."a tease". Try lying. Now, go figure how many "brain dead geriatrics" are going to process that as "Obama abuses 5 yr old girl". I can tell you I have three old witch sisters that will repeat that headline a hundred times each. Such bullshit by these lying neocon scumbags.
It's a matter of semantics ... FOX calls it a tease ... the rest of us ...
We call it a LIE.
Fox is State Sponsored TV
No, that's not called a "tease". That's called "smokin' your boss's chubby little pole". Fat Bastard must be pleased.
what i worse is she can't finished a thought without muffing it.
if you live in NYC I suggest we all show up someday with Truth signs.
In other news, Fux did make pappy Bush cry. Boo-freakin-hoo.
Jesus fucking FUCK! it's democrat-ic candidate get it right.

leftminded @ 31:
This is just f*ckin silly.
[It's the w*y it is-Sitem*nitor]
miss_kitty @ 36:
Cool.
Seems like these scum at Faux Noise can't even believe their own programming.
How sad is it to have to work for such a dim witted company.
If the reporters had any class they would be working for a real news organization, not "Un-Fair and Un-ballanced" Fox.
This is OT, but this story is kinda fluff, right, so..... (and I have to leave for work)
This is today's CNN Quickvote poll. I find it shocking:
Quickvote
Is President Musharraf right to declare a state of emergency in Pakistan?
Yes, it is a necessary move to fight militancy 41% 2115
No, it will only further increase tensions 59% 2991
So because (perhaps) he didn't like the election results, or the Supreme Court is looking into them, 41% think martial law is the answer. YIKES!!!!!!!!
This is why FoxNews has no credibility....They basically come out a call Barack a toad for making a girl cry....
Oh wait, that's not what happened..We're just kidding! What a bunch of dumbf*#@s!
But to the average loser who watches FoxNews, they could give a crap about the truth. All they see is candidate who picks on little children.
RobertPaul @ 47:
Working at Fox has to be the best gig in the world, though. You get a memo every morning telling you what you're going to be saying that day and you don't have to chase down leads and discover facts when you want to do a story. Just send an intern out with a camera and then read your points off on camera.
They don't even seem to mind having newsreaders who flub their lines, because every clip I see from Fox has a h/bimbo sounding like Ted Baxter at least once. Even in this "tease", it was pretty clear that Blondie was reading this line for the first time off of her teleprompter. "Obama makes a little Girl cry. What?"
Okay... here's the inestimable question - why should we care if they behave exactly as we expect they would? Why in the name of all things rationale, holy or at least interested in the fight - wouldn't the people/person attacked not only have expected it, but - "pre-empted" the empty attack?
I'm just asking.
Seriously, we... and alot of other people who don't read this sight and similarly leaning blogs get it. Why haven't we figured out and shared - let alone didn't need to because our "opposition leadership" had the rebuttal or pre-emptive negation ready?
Please... seriously - tell me why I should vote democratic vs. green/independent? I have seen nothing from the Democratic leadership/party etc. that dissuades me from the view I arrived at before 9/11 - that the dems/repubs were opposite sides of the same flawed coin.
Why should I feel any differently - Rahm, Pelosi and Co. haven't been focused on fighting the propaganda... or better still. That's where they seem to be focused - only easy low hanging fruit (that is when they can be moved). In the meantime... the populace is being fed with nonsense that's not being challenged.
At the very least... take a page from the republicans and recruit a bunch of ideological (said ideology matching the populace) loyalists who'll take the blame for your attacks.
What I've seen for the last 20+ years is Reformationist/Renaisancce(sp?) thinking pitted against Machiavellian/Hard Core Papal (you get the concept- "conservative/status quo") thinking... oh, nevermind - I'll just go back to watching football...
Kevin @ 52:
why blogging, football and intoxicants don't always make the best combination...
That's why this site has " and liars" in the title.
That was a good one. Ever notice the soldiers in that movie are wearing Nazi uniforms? Take another look.
VegasRage @ 19:
Tonight at Eleven - John Edwards Rapes A Puppydog.
Vapid Idiot: Well, okay, it turns out he didn't rape a puppy. He petted one.
Soulless Tool: Ha, ha! Same thing!
Vapid Idiot: Ha ha ha! Had me fooled.
Probably as long as the rightwing controls our government lock, stock, and barrel. Which by the looks things, should last roughly until the Apocalypse. (On a brighter note--at the speed the rightwing is going, that Apocalypse might be here before you know it!)
Just think, three years ago she was teasing guys on 2 for 1 nights with $10 dollar dances.
Fox News sends out BillO and his stalkers for the anchor recruitments.
Wow, Repugs are so ignorant they don't know the difference between a tease and a lie. here it is in a simple form you right wing idiots should have no trouble understanding...if a girl in a short skirt smiles at you and shows you her little butt, that's a tease, if you take her home and find out it's a man, that's a lie!
Oh, I'm sorry I guess most of you republicans are asking the same question: Where can we pick up this guy at? damn, they just don't get it!
I'd do her after only 4 beers/
I hate to say it, but until she opens her mouth, I find a strange attraction to her. I like spiders, too.
Bush has made plenty of little girls cry. Iraqi kids seem to miss their parents when they're gone.
VegasRage@19 - You nailed it. Fox is exactly like the news reporting from "Starship Troopers" and to anyone who missed that gem, check it out - you'll see the resemblance.
Fox news is evil. Media Matters is good. But this, my little friends, is lame-o, sub penny-ante BS.
Zzzz.
FuxNooz d*ck heads!
Wow, I'm shocked that Fox News got the story bassackwards...
As a reporter, I'd smoke a fresh turd before I worked for fox, even at 5 times my current salary.
I cannot fathom how someone could have so little respect for their chosen profession.
They're called ethics sweety, and you can't blow someone to get them.
S.D. @ 25:
It seems that Kelly is surprised. She seems to be at the first stage of realizing how she's being used, like Terry Malloy's (Brando's) slow awakening in On The Waterfront.
The danger is that Hillary wont get in. A certain faction of our government and a certain foreign government ache to see Iran bombed. [So do the respective defense contractors of these countries.] That's why they're going after Obama and Ron Paul and Kucinich. Hillary has to win to assure Iran will be put under in case Bush doesn't do 't.
Read General Oded Tira's screed to America's Israel-firsters:

Tim in Japan @ 66:
They're not a respectable network, they're a whorehouse network.
It's an intentional falsehood. That's why they call it a lie.
Yea they lied but Megan Kelly actually plays the role of objective contributor. But she couldn't help getting in that little dig.
Atypical Foxnews blond little bitch.
these sacks of shit will keep this going on their talk radio monopoly until it becomes mainstream
VegasRage @ 19:
That movie should not have been allowed to be titled Starship Troopers.
It was true to the book the way that this teaser is true to the truth.
she read that and thought wtf??
that was written on the 'promptor and she was taken aback by it, after seeing the clip she explained....simple as that....or perhaps it's more complex than that, if so keep thinkin'
Big fucking deal!!
W has made a whole fucking nation cry.
That's what you get when the whole lot of them at Fixed News have the IQ of a three-day-old ham sandwich...
Another right wing, blond, femmebot, ho hum........
Oh I get it, lying is the same as teasing. So when the President lies to us he is just teasing. Fox news is such a big tease. They fit right in with the republican party and satan the father of lies.
ive got a great tease for ya
uncle joe breaks into faux studios...kicks all the talking heads in the nuts...makes them cry
news at 11
Hemmer eased right into that Faux cultcha - he deserves a future career doing infomercials and FEMA press events. Oh yeah, he's already halfway there.
I guarantee you, Bush has made kids AND adults cry.
Osama...err I mean Obama made a little girl cry and then he killed a puppy./snark

Odd but true - Study: Iraqis May Experience Sadness When Friends, Relatives Die
If they were told that it was in the name of freedom and democracy, I'm sure they'd be totally ok for their families to be bombed, abducted and tortured. I mean, who hasnt been there! Endured a little hardship for the greater good, am I right? Its not as though Americans are dying.. THAT, on the other hand, would be pure tragedy.
I'm sure Faux in the spirit of Fair and Balanced reporting any day now are going to come out with a:

PREVENTION ACT OF 2007
Fox News ought too be renamed Fox Republican Party, since they are nothing more than a un-named right wing propaganda machine for the republican party. Lying is their stock and trade, just as corruption, voter suppression, hypocrisy, fraud, greed, corporate welfare, the party of and for the rich are synonymous with these before mentioned things, the funny thing about all this is the right wingers cannot see the righting on the wall that 2/3 rd of the USA population are not pro right wing republican agenda, and even the right wingers are fighting amongst themselves with the religious rights rebellion, and the republicans will find out that even with dirty tricks in elections like suppressing the minority voters, trying fix voting districts will not work when the majority are fed up with their lies rhetoric....
SNAFU = Situation Norma, All Foxed Up
FUBAR = Foxed Up Beyond All Recognition
test test
It is incidences like this and thousands of others that show why Fox Noise should have its license to broadcast as a news program revoked.
Dahgrostab'ph-r-i @ 58:
Oh yeah! Dropping loads all over Megyn Kelly's red blouse!!!!
*Some* credit to the female newswhore for highlighting the false teaser... but she didn't disclaim her comment that "he's made me cry many times."
Really, Barack Obama has made this woman cry "many times"? PITIFUL.
Simon White-Thatch Potentloins @ 86:
What license? They're on cable so I doubt that there is any "license" involved.
why is it that people feel justified in spewing misogynistic vitrol at a female they dont like?
A-S-S-H-O-L-E-S.
They are dishonest, pandering, bought, paid for, & useless for getting information. They stink, are geared toward roughly 25% of the country, and lie like a rug on Valium. If cable subscribers paid al la carte and could opt out of Fux News and Business tomorrow, they'd be on the scrap heap by Wednesday!
