Anti-intellectual #FoxNewsFacts

If you want to read some funny tweets, check out the #FoxNewsFacts hashtag on Twitter. It was started in the United Kingdom in response to a story on Fox News that was based on lies. This link explains what happens when Fox tries to air lies about a city in the United Kingdom(UK):  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/foxnewsfacts-twitter-users-react-with-aplomb-to-news-that-birmingham-is-a-nogo-zone-for-nonmuslims-9971829.html

You see the folks in the UK aren't going to stand back and allow Fox News to spread lies without any recourse. Now the hashtag is gaining such traction that Fox News claims to have set up a special twitter account:  @FoxNewsPress to counter and react to any lies told about Fox on the hashtag. Poetic justice is what I call it.

Everyday, we on the Left must push back HARD on the lies that the Right will be trying to promote. Fox News is just one part of the problem. Whenever we see their propaganda, we must speak out and call it out.
