Fox News Reports Fox News Lied about FEMA Aid to Migrants, Then Continues to Lie

The reason that the handful of actual journalists at Fox News are so pernicious is because they provide the network with a patina of credibility it does not deserve. Their journalism is not the reason that Rupert Murdoch hires them to work at his racist right-wing network, but to make his racist right-wing network look more legitimate than it is, as this saga proves.
Fox News, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are all working to try to kill as many people as they can in the wake of the massive hurricanes bludgeoning America’s southeast right now, as they spread misinformation that could lead people to their deaths or spark violent threats against immigrants like what they did in Columbus, Ohio with JD Vance’s admitted lie. Yesterday, Fox News’ news side did some journalism to rebut another blood libel taking root on the right, the false assertion that FEMA does not have money for North Carolinians affected by Hurricane Helene because they gave it all to migrants.
