Fox News Awfully Quiet About Kellyanne Conway's 'Bowling Green Massacre' Alternative Facts

The internet is buzzing about Kellyanne Conway's fear mongering about a non-existent "Bowling Green massacre." But not Fox News.

In case you missed it, Trump adviser Conway appeared on MSNBC's Hardball last night to defend her boss' Muslim ban.

CONWAY: I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here, to this country, were radicalized, and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered.

Actually, most people don't know that because it never happened.

Unfortunately, Matthews did not seem to catch this whopper. Instead of challenging Conway, he changed the subject.

But #BowlingGreenMassacre is now trending on Twitter with such snark as:

Fox News has acknowledged Conway "misspoke" but I had to do a site search to find that out. The article, which is an AP reprint, was posted under the "religion" section. Why, it's almost like Fox was trying to bury it.

The front page of FoxNews.com has nothing about Conway right now:

I can just imagine the non-stop coverage Fox would have ratcheted up if a top adviser to President Obama came up with a completely false terror attack to justify one of his policies. But with its Glorious Leader in the White House, you can be sure that Fox is desperately looking for ways to blame somebody else.

Meanwhile, watch Conway's latest "alternative facts" below, from the February 2, 2017 Hardball.

Btw, Cosmopolitan and TMZ have both made it known that Conway used the phrases “Bowling Green massacre” and “Bowling Green attack” in her interview with them too.

There’s clear evidence that she simply didn’t misspeak in her interview with Matthews yet she kept lying. She got caught using bogus “alternative history” to prop up Trump and there’s no spinning her way out it.

Is it true Hannity has the hots for Conway?

@ Ellen Hmmmmmmmmmmm Ellen, sometimes I wonder if Der Fuehrer III is planning to SHUT DOWN the New York Daily News soon, because they are the one paper in the New York City region that has been a NONSTOP CRITIC of Der Fuehrer III. Remember: he has ALREADY REVOKED CNN’s access to the White House. We all know he’ll NEVER, EVER shut down the New York Post and the Wall St. Journal, because both of those reich-wing tabloids are owned by Der Fuehrer III’s longtime pal Rupert “Herr Goebbels II” Murdoch.

Also, I follow Angry WH Staffer on Twitter. He or she tweeted a lot about Conway recently, including this:

If you want to know what working with Kellyanne is like, imagine “The Devil Wears Prada” but meaner and with worse fashion.

There’s no way for me to know if the account is legit or not but it’s fun to follow regardless.

Here is a SIDE-SPLITTING PARODY I picked up on Facebook yesterday afternoon — it’s called “The Prattle Hymn of the Repugnant” — it’s a sendup of Julia Ward Howe’s anthem “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”:

“Mine ears have heard the story
From the alternate facts queen,
About the tragic massacre
Of folks in Bowling Green,
Except it never happened,
Just another right wing meme,
Alt-right keeps marching on!

Stories, stories all are bullshit,
Stories, stories all are bullshit,
Stories, stories all are bullshit,
Alt-right keeps marching on!"

:^)

Kellyann must have been referring to an alternative Bowling Green, not the one in Ohio.

NPR had some good news. Washington and Minnesota won a federal injunction against #OrangeHitler‘s Muslim ban. Let’s watch all those faux Constitutional chest thumpers at Fox News deal with a legal movement largely based in religious freedom.

hard to imagine a republican woman with less soul than Malkin or Coulter but Conway is truly in a league of her own.

If we don’t report it, it never happened or its a liberal lie — Faux.

You know this wasn’t real when the Republicans didn’t send their thoughts & prayers.

Relax, folks.

When KC talked about the “Bowling Green Massacre”, she was referring to BG University football — specifically, their loss in the 2015 GoDaddy Bowl to Georgia Southern, 58-27 . . .
