Lying, monstrous, repugnant, devious traitors. Newpersons, opinion spewers, and ownership. > **[Inside the Marine Corps' Fight with Fox News over a False Gold Star Family Story](https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/08/23/inside-marine-corps-fight-fox-news-over-false-gold-star-family-story.html)** > > Gee's family never paid a dollar to transport her remains, and the Marine Corps let Fox News know -- in no uncertain terms -- that the July 25 story was false in a series of emails over the following days. “The Marine Corps worked behind the scenes last month in an attempt to convince Fox News to retract its false story claiming a Gold Star family was forced to pay $60,000 to ship the remains of a Marine killed in Afghanistan, according to emails obtained by [Military.com](http://Military.com). A service spokesman notified the news network that it was pushing an incorrect story and accused it of using the grief of fallen Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee’s family to draw in readers, the email exchanges, released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request, show. Fox News eventually deleted the story with no correction, and it never reached out to the Gee family with an apology as the Marine Corps requested, the family said. The Fox News story came from Republican Rep. Cory Mills, a freshman congressman from Florida, who claimed Gee’s next of kin were strapped with the $60,000 charge after a meeting with the families of Abbey Gate bombing victims, a suicide attack where 13 service members were killed outside of the Kabul airport in 2021. Gee’s family never paid a dollar to transport her remains, and the Marine Corps let Fox News know – in no uncertain terms – that the July 25 story was false in a series of emails over the following days.” Do you know someone in the military? Send them this article. Why anyone in the service backs Republicants or watches Faux News is beyond me. ---

After being beaten about the head and shoulders, castigated by the military and media, and dealt a mighty blow here on the SDMB; Faux News apologized to the family. "… Initially, after being notified about the false report, Fox News only changed the headline on the story to attribute the claims to Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida, who had advanced the narrative [but later recanted](https://twitter.com/RepMillsPress/status/1684695704290177024). The outlet later scrubbed the story from its website without a correction or explanation. It remained deleted on Saturday after the apology. Deleting an entire story is exceedingly rare in news media and is seen as a last-ditch measure if the entire premise of the article is incorrect. Deleting a story without offering readers an explanation or correction is widely considered to be unethical. In this case, Fox News did not publicly address the incident until the [Military.com](http://Military.com) story ignited backlash against the outlet. While unethical, the behavior is typical for Fox News. The outlet often breaks traditional news ethics and traffics in dishonest reporting and commentary."[https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/26/business/fox-news-gold-star-family-apology/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/26/business/fox-news-gold-star-family-apology/index.html) ---

Ireland is certainly one, as is England. I am taken aback that Fucker Carlson was caught in a lie. I’m also taken aback by Fox News violating news reporting ethics. Wait, I think I might have my definition wrong. Let me check Google…OK, not taken aback, but completely unsurprised. ---

Fox News website headline today: # Biden alcohol czar says US may follow Canada, limit beers to two a week: ‘what a joke’ The panicked beer drinkers who clicked on the story found out that it’s about a proposed health _recommendation_ that people in the U.S. only have two drinks per week. No worries, you’d still be able to load up on six-packs of beer at the 7-11 for that long, dry trip home. ---

I’m pretty sure that blue square ad during the World Series, which is being broadcast on Fox, is against _all_ forms of hate, not just against Jewish people.
