On America’s Newsroom today, as Fox contributor Pete Hegseth discussed American strategy to deal with ISIS, two graphics appeared on the screen at the same time. The one at the bottom read “NO MILITARY ACTION YET AGAINST ISIS, DESPITE COALITION TO FIGHT TERRORISTS.” Another at the top right read “US HAS CONDUCTED AT LEASt 160 AIRSTRIKES AGAINST ISIS IN IRAQ.”
As Media Matters noted, “Fox News’ months-long effort to criticize President Obama’s response to the Islamic State extremist group while ignoring the steps he’s taken to combat the group culminated in a confused segment claiming that the U.S. has both taken and not taken military action against ISIS.”
Watch the video of the full segment, below. The conflicting graphics happen at about 1:55
