Why Does Fox's Conservative Propagandist Megyn Kelly Keep Giving Fox Viewers The Shaft
















Why Does Fox's Conservative Propagandist Megyn Kelly Keep Giving Fox Viewers The Shaft

Fox News host Megyn Kelly used a he-said-she-said partisan frame to characterize a discussion about increases in non-defense discretionary spending before President Obama's State of the Union address. But the majority of economists agree that previous stimulus programs have successfully aided job creation.   ( note charts; the stimulus or Recovery Act increased both employment and GDP)                   

Kelly touted a Fox News poll on the popularity of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as well as future stimulus spending. According to the  poll, the public perception is that the stimulus did not work. And although Kelly noted that Democrats like President Obama and Nancy Pelosi have argued that federal stimulus spending was responsible for the creation of three million jobs, she failed to point out that this isn't just the opinion of political partisans -- it's the opinion of most economists. A 2010 Wall Street Journal poll of economists showed that 70% of economists agreed that the stimulus was good for the U.S. economy.
 Reality keeps having a liberal bias. Which in turn makes conservative zealots all the more determined to lie, and lie often. Honor is the first thing that becomes disposable on becoming a conservative.
