Jon Stewart provides a much more accurate report on Barack Obama’s policy on nuclear weapons than Fox, which is hardly a surprise. As Stewart pointed out:
We’re at the point now that the by far No. 1-ranked news network in this country no longer feels the need to accurately report what a policy document says in black and white. And once you free yourself from the fetters of fact shackles — or fackles — in the present day, you’d be amazed at what you can do to the facts from the past.
Or, as Crooks and Liars puts it:
He then goes on an extended riff pointing out that what Obama’s trying to achieve is precisely in line with what Ronald Reagan said he hoped to achieve as well — while the Foxheads trot out Reagan as proof of Obama’s weakness.
