Fox News did not even bother to read the entire opinion, they just started making up stuff after reading a few lines. From the Huffington:

CNN and Fox News were left with egg on their faces on Thursday, as they got the Supreme Court's ruling on President Obama's health care law wrong — and even managed to make Obama initially think his health care law had been partially overturned.

The trouble started early for CNN. Congressional correspondent Kate Boulduan read out part of the Court's ruling, which said that the individual mandate could not be upheld using the Commerce Clause. Disastrously, though, it failed to pick up the other part of the ruling, which said that it could be upheld as a tax.

"Wow, that's a dramatic moment," Wolf Blitzer said, as a chyron saying "SUPREME CT. KILLS INDIVIDUAL MANDATE" flashed on the screen.

"The Justices have just gutted, Wolf, the centerpiece provision of the health care law," John King said, adding that it was a "direct blow to President Obama."

The network addressed the error in a statement. A spokesperson explained how it happened and said, "CNN regrets that it didn't wait to report out the full and complete opinion regarding the mandate

No shit Sherlock. And people wonder why Fox News can't get a license in Canada.

Louie, what you posted was critical of CNN for not reading the opinion. Where does it talk about what Fox reported?

budman33 · 06-28-2012, 10:32 PM

Fox anchor Bill Hemmer told viewers the individual mandate was ruled unconstitutional while a banner across the TV screen declared, “Supreme Court Finds Healthcare Individual Mandate Unconstitutional.” Fox didn’t offer up a mea culpa. “We gave our viewers the news as it happened,” said Fox’s Michael Clemente, according to the Associated Press — which correctly reported on the ruling. “Fox reported the facts, as they came in.”

but you knew that already CoG

BigLouise used an article critical of CNN to bash Fox. I just want to know what his point really was.

By the way, I think all the networks were fooled, since no one expected the mandate to be upheld as a tax. When the Court announced that the individual mandate was unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause, they ran with it. It was after that when the Court announced that it was Constitutional as a tax. Fox wasn't alone in that. As Louise's article shows.

The real reason Fox News is kept out of Canada is because of a political bias against conservatives. The official reason is that Fox News isn't sufficiently truthful.

Al Jazeera, a defender of terrorism, is allowed to broadcast in Canada. Russia Today is a shameless propagandist for the radical left and is also allowed to broadcast in Canada. If Fox News was banned over a concern for truthfullness, Al Jazeera and Russia Today would be banned.

I'm pretty sure you can't get Fox News in Cuba or Venezuela either.

What do you expect from an intellectually dishonest troll?

I just thought he had info about Fox News bias, but the only company described in his post is CNN. Come on, Big Louise, clear this up!

Look Chicken Little...he said Fox News was not allowed in Canada.
He then proceeded to explain one reason why he thought so. Which was both Fox and CNN got it wrong at first. Only CNN admitted as much.

Is that to hard a point to understand?

He says that all the time. The article he used to support it didn't. Why is it that CNN and Fox both got it wrong, but only Fox is biased?

Yeah, hard to understand.

This was hilarious yesterday, I had my TV set with 3 channels on it.. and Fox,CNN,and MSNBC were all on. As I watched it I did a double take because 2 were reporting it was shot down, and MSNBC reported it had been upheld.

It says a lot when you see the right leaning media reporting things wrong and not taking the time to get things right. They are only interested in pushing their right wing propaganda and misinforming their viewers. Truth is beyond them...
