A Think Progress reporter tried to interview Jesse Watters, an ambush specialist for Fox, and asked him this question.  Not wanting to be caught lying on camera, and therefore unwilling to tell the truth that they do, he ducked the question.  In the process he demonstrated that he one of the most arrogant SOBs you’ll ever see.

Fox-sheepThis week, Media Matters reported that an unnamed former “Fox News insider” confirmed once again the network’s aversion to the truth in the name of promoting the Republican Party. “I don’t think people would believe it’s as concocted as it is; that stuff is just made up,” the former insider said. Fox News’ “M.O. [is] to undermine the administration and to undermine Democrats,” said the source. “They’re a propaganda outfit but they call themselves news.” ThinkProgress ran into Fox News ambusher-in-chief Jesse Watters at CPAC this week and wanted to know what he thought about Media Matters’ report. However, Watters wouldn’t comment. Instead, he tried to divert the issue by attempting to belittle ThinkProgress’ “ambush” skills (yes, admittedly, we didn’t stalk Watters to a vacation spot with his significant other) and trying to give us some advice. “You’re just kind of, a little JV,” Watters said on the defensive. While ThinkProgress repeatedly tried to get comment from Watters, he still refused to answer. However, at one point, he seemed to take offense at a slight brush on his sport jacket, saying, “Watch my blazer, bro.”… [emphasis added]

As for the question itself, all it takes is for a well informed person to watch one broadcast, and it’s crystal clear.  Fox does make stuff up, because they are the Republican Ministry of Propaganda.
