Title: Fox News
Post by: libertybele on June 22, 2015, 08:49:03 AM
I am really beginning to question FOX News even more.  The headline of the story is "Sen. Ted Cruz returns donations from head of group linked to Charleston gunman", yet they show a large picture of him with safety glasses and holding an M-15 with a caption "Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, reacts after shooting a Smith & Wesson M-15 at the CrossRoads Shooting Sports in Johnston, Iowa."  Sure they make a reference to him returning the donation which is great, but then they turn around and show him firing an M-15.  The liberals are going to have a field day with this one! They keep it up and they are going to lose their followers.

Seems like Fox News is trying to stir the pot and certainly didn't help Cruz who is not only seen as an ultra conservative but hated by the GOPe and liberals.

FOX News is there to make money. Any way they can.

The photo does not bother me in the least.  What bothers me is the photo was used in conjunction with reporting Cruz giving back donations from a group linked to a gunman.

I'm more bothered by the fact that they misidentified the weapon.

He has every right to send back the donation, since it is the most effective way to repudiate any connection to the gunman.
