original description

Less than a week after presenting a six-month old clip of Joe Biden as new, Fox's The Live Desk is at it again. This time, Fox News's Trace Gallagher falsely claims the Dow dropped 56 points during a speech by President Obama. According to Gallagher, when the President began, the Dow was up 28 points; by the time the Presidnet finished, Gallagher said the Dow was down 28 points. The reality: when President Obama started, the Dow was down 34; it was down 28 when he finished. So it actually gained 6 meaningless points. Links: DKTV | digg | reddit Of course, even if Gallagher's false claim were true, it wouldn't have been an interesting or relevant point -- you cannot measure the success of speeches by short-term fluctuations in the Dow. But it wasn't at all true, and that underscores just how dishonest Fox News is when it comes to attacking President Obama. h/t: Media Matters (video by DKTV)
