Fox New Poll Finds 50% Support Impeaching Donald Trump, So of Course Fox News Is Lying About It

Fox New Poll Finds 50% Support Impeaching Donald Trump, So of Course Fox News Is Lying About It
Fox News

So on brand.

Fox News hosts were called out on Tuesday for misrepresenting the results of a poll conducted by its own Network.

Nearly every American has addressed, whether aloud or in their mind, one of the poll's most notable questions:


Do you think President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or not?

Their answers might surprise you.

Though many Democrats are wary of launching impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump—fearing it would make the party look radical—at least half of Americans think Donald Trump should be impeached.

But that's not how Fox News characterized it.

Watch below:

The beginning of the video, posted by journalist Tommy Christopher, shows Fox News anchor Heather Childers presenting a graphic which she said indicated that "most voters don't want impeachment."

You may have noticed that the question "Should President Trump be impeached or removed from office?" was not the question responders were asked. Impeachment without the option of removal was another question the poll asked.

Fox News Poll

As indicated in the poll results above, 50% of Americans think Donald Trump should be impeached, with 43% believing that impeachment should lead to removal from office and 7% thinking the process impeachment without removal would suffice.

On America's Newsroom later that morning, the poll had been corrected to show the itemized answers.

Despite its own data indicating that more Americans want Trump impeached than not, America's Newsroom host Bill Hemmer asked contributor Byron York to elaborate on the 48% number without drawing attention to the fact that 50% of Americans think the President's behavior has warranted impeachment hearings.

Fox News's misrepresentations aside, Americans were buoyed by the idea that more of the public was warming up to impeachment.

Awkward.

Trump Ripped After Posting Disturbing Parody Music Video About His Attack On Iran

President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism after he shared a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran"—a parody of The Regents song "Barbara Ann" that is best known for being covered by the Beach Boys—amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that could further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The controversial parody song by Vince Vance & the Valiants plays over footage of B-2 stealth bombers, the same aircraft used to drop 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow enrichment plant, Natanz complex, and Isfahan site.
