Fox News scoop: Obama lied, U.S. troops are on the ground in Libya!




What a story! It
turns out that four
military personnel
deployed to the U.S. embassy to help with security and
explosive ordnance disposal. For Fox, this apparently constitutes President
Obama breaking his vow not to insert troops. The article actually begins, "Despite
repeated assurances from President
Obama
and military leaders that the U.S. would not send uniformed military
personnel into Libya
..."



I wonder if one day having worked for Fox News during our
time will be regarded like being a supporter of Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s.
I think Fox may be the most destructive force in American society nowadays,
basically pouring poison into the stream of our political discourse.
