Faux News

They're not even pretending anymore.

 

Birth Of A Zombie Lie

I don't know if you've seen the story flying about the intertubes, featured on Faux News and right wing radio about a preschooler in North Carolina who had her homemade lunch seized by government operatives and replaced with a "healthier" version that included chicken nuggets.

Guess what?  That story is pure bunk.  Nearly everything reported by Faux turned out to be false, a gross exaggeration, or misunderstanding.  The story originally appeared in a right-wing think-tank's monthly journal, was picked up by the right-wing noise machine, and spread to all the usual suspects.

So now that the debunking has occurred, do you think it will make a difference?  Of course not, no matter how many times you point out that the story is false (and it takes far more verbiage to explain why the charge is false than it is to make the charge), some low information voter months or years from now will vomit up the story of how the ebil democrat gubmit checks lunches and seizes ones that do not comply with the regulations.

A zombie lie is born.
