By the way, did you verify the story in this quote?

“..several men staying at a homeless shelter in Poughkeepsie, New York, had come forward to say they were recruited to pretend they were among the veterans kicked out of the hotel.”

Yup and it’s frustrating for all of us.

Funny how any topic can be tuned into some kind of a left/right pissing contest, typically devoid of factual information.

Great opportunity for whining and soapbox declarations from the same trolls.

Remember the recent story promoted by left wing news sites, including MSNBC, about a pregnant white nurse trying to steal a bike from a young black man. The story was just another lie and a h**x fed to gullible left wingers and race hustlers.

"The whole thing, it appears, had been a set up by the young men who toyed with the nurse, laughing, accusing her of doing the very same thing–stealing a bike from someone who had already paid for it–that they were doing to her."

They got a story on the news; just not the one they anticipated. Crump was sure on the scene quickly. I think there's more to the story yet to come out.

True dat. I only brought it up and used the same language as gorgehiker cause he/she (don't know the g****r) wrote the post as a dig against right wing media when in reality all media does the same thing and rush to print without verifying.

Yes, I remember that and the woke POS hospital fired her.
Her lawyer has her receipt for the bike and needless to say she will be wealthy when all is done including the suits against the lying f**e news again having to pay up.

Fox is in on that one as well as the f**e vets getting evicted story. Way too many defamation suits coming their way.

What does this have to do with vets?

I said ALL of the homeless. ALL would include vets and that is why I capitalized it. Seems to have gone right over your head.

I heard the story as well. That was very skeptical about its validity. So who on here was posting a thread about this?

I heard the story about the veterans hotel rooms being given to "i*****l a***ns" from an old far right extremist relative who only watches Fox News. I fact checked and found the t***h about the story. My extremely conservative relative never fact checks anything and the poor old guy suffers from Fox misinformation syndrome. So sad.

Ya, many do suffer from Fox misinformation syndrome as do many suffer from CNN and MSNBC misinformation syndrome. Did Fox News report on this story?

I saw the very brief retraction... brief compared to the long tirade false story. But one must admit made up stories are very interesting to the viewers... one must remember that Fox declared themselves as an "Entertainment Channel."

And, Tucker's lawyers said that viewers should know Tucker lies and that defense worked in the first case; not with D******n and probably not with Smarmatic.

Brief retractions are not unique to Fox. Its pretty typical for all news organizations

Of course, Fox News reported this story. This is exactly the kind of lying incendiary bs that Fox loves to feed their pitiful gullible viewers to further divide our country.

"Last week, Fox News went all in on a story about migrants displacing veterans from a New York hotel, featuring it on no less than 15 different shows. The network even claimed to have substantiated the reporting themselves. But then the whole thing unraveled."

Yahoo

"A New York Post story claiming that 20 homeless veterans had been kicked out of hotels in upstate New York to make room for migrants and was later spotlit on Fox News turned out was a lie.

Without fact-checking the story or reaching out to the accused hotels for comment, Fox News’ Laura Ingraham highlighted it with a chyron that read “New York City Puts I******s Ahead of Veterans,” while Republicans raged at Biden, with Nikki Haley calling it “liberal insanity at work.”

However, reporting by local outlet the Mid-Hudson News not only found holes in the Post’s story, but what appears to be outright fraud, with homeless men telling the Hudson Valley paper they were given food and money to pose as veterans and claim they’d been displaced by migrants at the Crossroads Hotel in the town of Newburgh, New York."
