Funday Friday: #6--Fox News Gets Schooled

Hey, everyone and Happy Funday Friday
Well, you guys know that Fox News Channel has a reputation for being a network that features reports and commentary with Conservative leanings. This happens during all of its programs (Yes, even Red Eye, the show it airs that matters anymore does this too).

So during The O'Reilly Factor, reporter Jesse Watters went to the small town of Bennington, Vermont for a segment on liberal bias in the media. This reporter tried to be Billy Eichner and embarrass the denizens and the town as a whole by asking questions based on liberal leanings for potential laughs for its viewers (some of which are probably too old to know who Billy Eichner is). This, in the short term, was not a good (or smart) idea for them. Because some students of the Quantum Leap Exhibit Program at local Mount Anthony Union High School were learning on ethics in journalism learned about Fox News' diabolical plan and fought back by outsmarting them in a deliciously brutal way. Check this out.

BURN!
Awesome job, students. You did your work, fact-checked Fox News' dumb-ass bullcrap and protected your town's reputation as a wonderful small town that just so happens to be proudly liberal-leaning. From one guy who can't stand Fox News' annoying conservative "Highbrow", condescending, bullshit to a group of such, I applaud you, I bow down to you, and if there's a way it could happen, I want to come to your town, shake your hands and hug you for such an badass takedown of a major news organization like Fox News and showing it how real fact checking is done. Great job, guys.
Fox News, go bankrupt.
