Sweden has no idea who "national security advisor" was on O'Reilly

The right wing propaganda machine is in full spin mode. Bill O'Reilly had a supposed Swedish national security advisor on his program bemoaning the social ills of Muslim communities in Sweden. There was just one problem with the story.

Swedish Armed Forces Press Secretary: "We Do Not Know Who He Is"

In before Trump supporters claim that Media Matters is Lugenpresse.

Fake news....coming from the right. Alternative facts....coming from the right. And people defend this shit. Sad.

Caution, you're entering a No Spin Zone lol

The constant rush to prove or make sense of Trump's Sweden comments are depressing. The American right has truly lost its mind.

Anecdotal as it may be. Nearly everyone I know over here thinks that Fox News are out of their mind...

And have thought so for the last 8 years.

Google Translate for those of you who dont speak swedish.

It's not anecdotal, they get quite a bit wrong and are extremely biased. The tides go in, the tides go out (LOL).

CNN ironically gets called fake news for stories that all ended up turning out objectively true over the last few months. But people on forums just spam "fake news" with not actual evidence because Trump's propaganda team are good at tricking low IQ individuals.

If this O'Rielly situations turns out true, this is what ACTUAL fake news looks like.

It's hilarious that they just picked someone up on the street without checking if the title he said he had was true or not. As a Swede, I can't even phatom have frickin' insane this is.

Who said the guys at Fox were unaware of what they were doing?

The problem with stories like this is much more people are going to see the fake story than the ones proving the former to be fake. So they will carry on believing it and there will be little to no repercussions to the ones responsible.

Didn't Fox news do their research properly, or did he prank them?

Is this like their old ex 'CIA operative' who faked his credentials and had gigs on their show for years? The lengths people will go to in order to propagate their s lies.

*facepalm* Just... *facepalm*

fox news is the FAKEST news of all. They take fake news to the next level, they don't just lie, they make shit up out of their ass. When they get called out for their bullshit they release an apology statement that is buried under a sub header of the least read section--science lol.

Not going to say CNN is much better though...they just love to leave out information that goes against their propogandizing agenda, or spin their white villian / minority underdog-hero mentality every chance they get. Anti trump articles are pretty much the only thing they write about nowadays, which although is funny, always revolves around trump being some kind of crazy hitler wannabe and gets old.

lol. oh bill, will you ever win?

At least O'Reilly acknowledged the mistake tonight. Most other outlets just double down.

Honestly this seems like Bill got caught trying to get away with something incredibly stupid. Good of him to admit it, but I'm not really convinced it was an accident. Then again I'm just speculating.

Good ol' Fox News... I dunno how anyone can take them seriously.

@zaryia: Brutal! Lol!

Lol and the media wonders why no one trusts them.
