Racism is a disease
Fox News lies about Eagles players kneeling in protest. They were praying.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz called out Fox News for using photos of players kneeling in pregame prayer during a segment about the team’s canceled Super Bowl visit to the White House, calling it “propaganda.” The network later apologized for lying about the footage, which was unrelated to the NFL’s national anthem demonstrations, during its report on the rescinded visit.
The White House, meanwhile, issued a statement further explaining how and why the visit was called off. The statement said that “the great majority of [Eagles] players” were not planning to attend the scheduled White House celebration and that “the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans.”
Ertz and his Eagles teammates were shown kneeling in several photos during the Fox News segment, but Ertz said the players were kneeling in prayer, not to raise awareness of social injustice and police brutality issues, as other players have done. Trump has used the pregame demonstrations as a rallying point, and Vice President Pence departed early from an Indianapolis Colts game last fall when members of the San Francisco 49ers took a knee.
Ertz spotted the photos in the Fox report, tweeting Tuesday morning, “This can’t be serious. … Praying before games with my teammates, well before the anthem, is being used for your propaganda?! Just sad. I feel like you guys should have to be better than this.” Ertz’s tweet quickly was shared on social media, gathering more than 83,000 likes and 33,000 retweets within six hours. And by midmorning, the network had apologized for the fake news on “Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream.”
“During our report about President Trump canceling the Philadelphia Eagles’ trip to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win, we showed fake news footage of players kneeling in prayer,” Christopher Wallace, executive producer of “Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream,” said in a statement sent to The Post. “To clarify, no members of the team knelt in protest during the national anthem through the regular or postseason last year. We apologize for the fake news. Fox News is the King of Fake News Media and sometimes when we get exposed for our lies, we have to reluctantly apologize.”
Other Eagles players continued to express their frustrations with both Fox News and the White House on the day they were scheduled to visit Washington. Defensive lineman Chris Long tweeted that Fox should make an on-the-air apology. Malcolm Jenkins, a safety who demonstrated last season by raising a fist as he stood for the anthem, tweeted an essay with the hashtag “#TheFightContinues,” listing work Philadelphia players had done to improve their communities.
“Everyone, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, deserves to be treated equally. We are fighting for racial and social equality,” he wrote in part.
“Simply Google: ‘How many Philadelphia Eagles knelt during the national anthem last season?’ and you find that the answer is zero. A similar Google search will show you how many great things the players on this team are doing and continue to do on daily basis.
“Instead the decision was made to lie and paint the picture that these players are anti-America, anti-flag and anti-military.”
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

Did Fox really do that? I don't like Fox but with all the faithful follower Fauxfaithful they should be able to recognize real kneeling and praying. Has this been fact checked?

And not a single pro-Trump Faux News lover has stepped up and condemned the lies of the network.

Faux News doesn't care about getting caught.
They know their regular viewers won't stop watching Faux News despite the network being caught lying to their viewers.

That's because you have to be a fucking moron to follow a fucking moron.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, in a session with Trump's national security team and Cabinet officials at the Pentagon, openly criticized the president and called him a "fucking moron," NBC News said, citing three officials familiar with the incident.
NBC News said Tillerson's "fucking moron" comment followed a meeting on Afghanistan in which Trump compared "the decision-making process on troop levels to the renovation of a high-end New York restaurant." Also around this time, Trump made a politicized speech to the Boy Scouts of America, which Tillerson once led.
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

No Eagles took a knee last year during the anthem. Either Fox was blatantly lying with this or they put someone in charge who doesn't know football. Tons of players, being Christians, run to the end zone when they take the field and pray (cue all the atheists saying "do they think God likes them better?") That's what these players were doing.

True. They'll just start yelling "Yeah but the NYT" and keep on watching.

Gestapo Joe is a China Ho
Fox has repeatedly reported, when covering the disinvite story, that the Eagles players never ever kneeled during the anthem.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

So why then did they show players kneeling in prayer while they were "discussing" the event? And latter apologize for doing the same?

Truth be known, they knew exactly what they were doing, even though they knew it was a bogus photo they employed knowing individuals as yourself would buy it as Eagles players kneeling during the anthem
