Fox Hides Fact of Bush Administration’s Role in Christmas Terror Attempt

As I posted earlier, two of the “masterminds” behind the Christmas Day “terror attempt” in Detroit were released from Guantanamo Bay by the Bush administration in 2007.  I repeat:  They were released by the Bush administration in 2007.

Not exactly the stuff of “breaking news” on right wing sites.  Here’s how Fox is spinning it:

Nothing about the Bushies.

Can you imagine if the two guys had been released by the Obama administration?  The headline would have consumed Fox’s entire home page.

Oh, and here’s the article you go to if you click on the picture.  I took a screen shot because chances are Fox will dress it up as the Bush administration’s involvement becomes undeniable:

A mention of the Bush administration yes, but nothing specifically about the two guys behind the Christmas Day plot.

This is no big surprise to those of us who know that Fox “News” is a propaganda arm of the GOP (or does the GOP work for Fox?).  I just thought it’d be a good idea to document it in case somebody, sometime, cares to look into whether Fox’s use of the slogan “fair and balanced” might just be a bit of a stretch.  As in, oh, false advertising?
