Fox News expert on solar energy: Germany gets "a lot more sun than we do." [VIDEO] Photo by Matthias Hiekel/AFP/Getty Images Thanks to Fox News and its expert commentators, millions of Americans now understand the real, hidden reason why Germany's solar-energy industry is so much further along than ours.

Turns out it has nothing to do with the fact that Germany's government has long supported the industry far more generously, with policies like feed-in tariffs that stimulate investment in green technologies. No, the real reason is much simpler, explained a trio of journalists on Fox & Friends: It's always sunny in Germany!

Rupert Murdoch, James Murdoch and their former editor Andy Coulson all face embarrassing new allegations of dishonesty and cover-up after the publication of an explosive letter written by the News of the World's disgraced royal correspondent, Clive Goodman.

In the letter, which was written four years ago but published only on Tuesday, Goodman claims that phone hacking was "widely discussed" at editorial meetings at the paper until Coulson himself banned further references to it; that Coulson offered to let him keep his job if he agreed not to implicate the paper in hacking when he came to court; and that his own hacking was carried out with "the full knowledge and support" of other senior journalists, whom he named. The claims are acutely troubling for the prime minister, David Cameron, who hired Coulson as his media adviser on the basis that he knew nothing about phone hacking. Goodman's letter is dated 2 March 2007, soon after he was released from a four-month prison sentence. 1bxvt.jpg (JPEG Image, 320x240 pixels) Killings in Norway Spotlight Anti-Muslim Thought in U.S.

Whilst operating under the claim to be ‘fair and balanced’, accusations of Barack and Michelle Obama’s ‘terrorist fist bump’ and apocalyptic assessments of the President’s first 100 days in office seemed more like a propaganda movement than serious news. This approach has continued to the present day. Roger Ailes' Secret Nixon-Era Blueprint for Fox News. I'm pretty sure that the United States of America had its greatest rise (in the recent era) during the Reagan administration, who was a Republican (and he brought peace with the Russians, let's not forget).

I'm also pretty sure that referring to the Bush jr administration, and more specifically one chapter in that administration, AND bringing in race as a cheap shot (Bush is quite stupid, but seriously, are you calling him a racist? ...low... ), is not the way to review the history of a party.

For Winston, the book’s main character, his full-time job with the Ministry of Truth is to rewrite history, spiriting away the inconvenient details. Someone like Winston appears to be hard at work behind the scenes at Fox Nation. This morning, an article and comment thread related to a piece of satire the site and its readers took seriously, went missing. The page was preserved through Google Cache, but the comment thread, which showed dozens of loyal Fox readers reacting to a joke story from The Onion as if it were real, is gone. Some of the comments were preserved by Raw Story in the story below. Fox News executive admits his attempt to link Obama to socialism was a lie.

Neither of the two doctors have yet got back in touch, but Billy Pidgeon of M2 Research responded with a detailed explanation of what he’d really said to the news outlet. And would you believe it – it has little in common with how their selective quoting made him appear. Quite how little is striking. After quoting two experts, neither of whom appear to have any expertise regarding the effects of videogames, both of whom were apparently very quick to condemn the game, they then announce that the game’s unlikely to sell well anyway, citing Pidgeon from M2 Research. More important, defenders argue that games with excessive violence and sexual content simply don’t sell well.
