Question:
Is the following another example of Fox News using misleading headlines to deceive their followers?

Fox News seem to know their followers will not read pass the headlines and the first paragraph.

The headline:
"Napolitano Scraps U.S.-Mexico Fence"

If they read the entire article they will see the following:
"With that in mind, Napolitano is withholding funding for the program’s first deployment until a review she ordered in January is finished. And she’s taking away $50 million in stimulus funds from the Boeing-managed program. Instead, that funding will be put toward “other tested, commercially available security technology along the Southwest border.”
Five answers:

Not really, they are scrapping the Boeing plan and starting over because it doesn't work. I prefer that over continuing to waste money on a flawed system.



“The system of sensors and cameras along the Southwest border known as SBInet has been plagued with cost overruns and missed deadlines". Government at work, business as usual in the public sector.



She will waste far more than $50 million and the border won't be any more secure.

You liberals constantly make me laugh. I swear, you adult adult males in all probability account for a million/2 of their readership on the grounds which you're merely searching for something to gasoline your furnace of hate. You adult adult males are in all probability a marginally great chew of Limbaugh's objective audience besides. Jeez, i'm conservative and that i do no longer even know the final time I study something on Fox information.

But you choose to single out Fox News.

Go figure.
