Jimmy Kimmel Busts Fox News With A Blunt Reality Check About Its Trump Coverage
HuffPost
The late night host tore into the right-wing network for its coverage of the president's response to protests in Los Angeles.
Jimmy Kimmel called out Fox News on Wednesday night for “misinformation” as the right-wing network covers President Donald Trump’s decision to send the military to Los Angeles in response to the ongoing protests in the city.
“There’s been so much misinformation, so much cherrypicking, when it comes to what they show on TV,” Kimmel said. “I mean, if you turn on Fox News, you’d think LA was getting invaded by more aliens than the movie ‘Mars Attacks.’ They are working so hard to make this seem like a lawless battleground.”
Kimmel films his show in LA, and asked his studio audience if they saw a “lawless battleground.”
The answer was a resounding “no.”
Kimmel said he’s been getting texts from people in other parts of the country asking if he’s OK.
