Dworkin report - Fox Uses Jimmy Carter's Passing to Concoct Fake Biden Controversy [View all]

Last night, I was thinking about our loss of former President Jimmy Carter, while analyzing corporate media’s coverage of his passing. I saw so many wonderful tributes, before I ran into this outrageous Fox “News” front page headline: “Biden jabs Trump over what he could learn from former President Carter as he shares favorite memory.”

-snip-

First of all, President Biden did not jab or criticize Trump.

Joe was asked what Trump should take away from Jimmy Carter’s legacy, and here’s the quote that Fox printed from his answer: “Decency, decency, decency…Can you imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needed something and just keep walking? Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or the way they talk?”

Those little dots there, that’s where Biden said, “everybody deserves a shot. Everybody.” But Fox left that part out. And Joe used the word “decency” to describe Carter earlier in his brief words about him. It wasn’t something he reserved for Trump.
