Fox News Busted for Airing Blatant Election Lie Without Any Proof

Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo has repeatedly been saying this week that Democrats have been pushing to register “massive lines of illegals” to vote in Texas. As it turns out, she never did any actual reporting on the topic.

The Texas Department of Public Safety debunked Bartiromo’s claims, with Sergeant William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the department, calling the claims “simply false” and “kind of racist” in a statement Tuesday to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Brady Gray, the chairman of the Parker County GOP, also said such reports were “erroneous” after investigating Bartiromo’s claims.

Bartiromo first brought up the alleged voter registration in an X post on Sunday, citing a “friend of mine’s wife.” It turns out that this was all the sourcing that the Fox anchor needed to repeat the claim ad nauseum on TV.

From the article:

"Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo admitted she did no reporting before spouting lies about illegal voting."

See, they're admitting they don't do actual reporting. Congrats to Fox for starting to be more honest.

I do not know if I'd actually call them "trustworthy".

The way they frame reports is sickening.
It’s all opinion and nothing objective.

Meanwhile good old Rupert keeps cashing in.

i take issue with the title

it's not becoming more trustworthy. They are sensing the Trump ship is sinking and the rats are trying to distance themselves from it.

Edit: @vivify on second read, it might seem you were sarcastic. Were you?

When pressed, Fox News admits they are not news, but "entertainment". Their lawyers said this in open court.

If you are going to complain about all the sourcing someone needs to repeat something you should start looking in the mirror a little more.
