Fox News’ Twitter account apparently thought the climate change mockery from “FoxNews.Commie” so interesting that the network’s official account retweeted it.
The @FoxNews account promises to be about “delivering you breaking news, insightful analysis.” So one has to wonder where on that scale a tweet from “Fox News Commie” fell. The tweet read, “Comrades, make sure to use stats saying 2014 was hottest year as proof to #ActOnClimate - when it gets cold, we’ll use that as proof too.”
Whatever the appeal, Fox News clearly thought this was something newsworthy for their followers.

So now they’re admitting that 2014 was the hottest year on record – but it doesn’t prove anything. This could almost be considered progress for Fox.

There’s a clumsy but endearing video circulating
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzYymuslGDw)
that a bunch of Vermont high-schoolers put together for their journalism class very politely ripping O’Reilly and Watters a new one for Watters’s cheap shot piece on Bennigton, VT.
Few of these kids are ever going to have a job on TV, but they earnestly and methodically run through some journalists’ “code of ethics” and show how Watters miserably fails each item. And about the last minute, they begin to relax and unleash their indignation and scorn on him, O’Reilly and Fox News in general.

Did Fox think it "breaking news," "insightful analysis" or both?
