TV News LIES

Fox News' Laura Ingraham is getting heat for her comments regarding Nipsey Hussle following a memorial service for the slain rapper, which took place on Thursday in Los Angeles.

On Friday's episode of "The Ingraham Angle," the host mentioned how "thousands lined the streets to say goodbye to rapper Nipsey Hussle."

The Fox Business Network issued an on-air correction Thursday after the network aired a poll graphic — later shared online by President Donald Trump — that incorrectly displayed the president's unfavorable rating as his job approval rating.

“It’s been a quite start to the day for President Trump, though he did send out a tweet this morning from the Lou Dobbs show last night on Fox Business," Washington correspondent Blake Burman said on behalf of Fox Business. "That tweet featured a poll that was not entirely accurate, which Fox Business would like to correct."

TVNL Comment: What does 'not entirely accurate' mean?  Dobbs' poll numbers were totally accurate by a long shot.  They were either accurate or inaccurate.  Period.

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request Monday for the release of grand jury materials used in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his investigation into Russia's election interference.

The press group is seeking a court order that would authorize public release of any grand jury material “cited, quoted or referenced” in the report, which Mueller submitted to Attorney General William Barr on March 22.

Barr has said he cannot release an unredacted version of the report because the grand jury content is subject to a federal statute tied to criminal procedure.

Fox & Friends Weekend crew earned their scorn this weekend for referring to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras as “3 Mexican Countries” in a segment about President Trump’s plan to cut aid to the Central American countries as a disincentive for sending so-called migrant caravans to the U.S. southern border.

The errant headline lasted just a few seconds, but was soon the talk of Twitter as media watchers retweeted it with choice commentary about the president’s favorite source for news and information getting something most high schoolers know wrong.

President Trump took to Twitter late Friday to rail against The Washington Post and The New York Times for their coverage of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Despite claiming earlier this week that he was exonerated by Mueller’s report on the conclusions of the investigation, Trump still apparently has a bone to pick with the two major newspapers that extensively covered the probe—so much so that he claims they should be stripped of their Pulitzer Prizes.
