Fox News Forced To Retract Phony Report On Biden Attacking HamburgersAfter a weekend of cow fart reports and beer rants, Fox News dedicated 25 seconds to retracting claims Biden was taking Republicans' beef away.
Last week, President Biden held a virtual climate Summit in which he voiced his new plans for curbing global warming.
As usual the typical right-wing grievance agitators in Congress and the media used a flawed article from the right-wing Daily Mail to falsely claim President Biden wants to eliminate cows altogether.

Fox viewers believe the lie is the truth. The retraction is cancel culture, fake news.

(82,849 posts)4. Fox knows its audience
And they know that the audience got the intended message, not the true one. We'll be treated to this zombie lie shambling across the landscape for years to come. "Oh yeah? Well, what about the time Biden tried to make everyone stop eating meat, huh?" Then you have to remember the original stupid graphic from the Daily Mail, how it described nothing real but was treated as an oracle in the usual quarters, and how the story fell to pieces after the least bit of scrutiny.
