On the Fox News Fact-Checking Department...

Everyone's favorite propaganda machine is back! And this time they've failed harder than Herman Cain's presidential bid. It's incredible how often people with proverbial graveyards in their closets run for the Presidency in this country (just wait until the American public remembers all the extra-marital action Newt Gingrich got). That aside, take a look at this graphic used by Fox News recently in their "coverage" of the Elena Kagan controversy.

Looks official!

Do you spot the error? For starters, the Constitution doesn't have 28 articles, nor does it have anything close to a section 144. Secondly, this language isn't part of the Constitution! At all! Did Fox "News" fabricate this factoid? According to this article, that language does exist in Title 28 of the US Code, Section 455, but that obviously isn't "The Constitution". Simple error? Probably, but consider this: Fox "News" has recently "won" consecutive "Lie of the Year" awards from PolitiFact. In response to this and other failures of the Fox "News" fact checking department, I decided to give them a call and ask a few questions:

Well, that's odd. Their phone doesn't seem to be connected. Y'know, I'm not too sure the lights are even on in that building anymore.
