SPECIAL REPORT, listen to the end of the show for a scary look at just how bad journalistic professionalism can be compromised.

Fox news reporter can’t be bothered with facts, would rather ‘click around’ a website for a few minutes and make unfounded sensationalist statements, all of which are just a tad on the ‘not even close to the truth’ side of stupid.

BONUS POINTS: Interview expert who agrees with your unfounded delusions…realize later the expert is making it up as she goes. EA calls Fox News out for their new level of recklessness.
