This is exactly what we expect from the Fox!
In an interview that aired on Saturday, Fox Host Jeanine Pirro interviewed the lawyers of one of the witnesses to the Michael Brown murder. The obvious attempt by Fox News was to paint the witness, Dorian Johnson, as a liar. But the Fox host began the interview with a lie, claiming that the autopsy disputes any possibility that Michael Brown was shot in the back.
The lawyer, Freeman Bosley Jr. began his answer by informing Pirro that the autopsy report conducted by Dr. Baden supports his client’s eyewitness report.
“The autopsy report for the most part confirms that. The autopsy report conducted by Dr. Baden basically states that there were six shots fired, one of them did hit Mike in the arm, they’re not quite sure whether it was from the back or from the front. So that’s consistent with what my client said. Now he did say that he thought Mike Brown was shot in the back but it shows that he was shot in the arm.”
Of course, the lawyer was correct, so the Fox host cuts him off. But for the record, Dr. Baden did say that the bullet wound in Mike Brown’s forearm could have been fired from the back, or behind Mike Brown, but this fact was totally ignored by the Fox people as Pirro continued insisting that Baden said “all six shots were fired from the front,” a blatant lie!
But the lawyers were strong in their beliefs and what the facts, and they were not going to the deterred by Fox’s misinformation. In fact, they called out the host for feeding into the misinformation and that was when all hell broke loose!
“You know, there was a lot of misinformation that was put out there that might have fired up people for no reason,” the Fox host said, probably realizing that she was guilty of feeding misinformation to her audience.
“Yeah, it’s misinformation, and you shouldn’t be running with that,” Bosley replied. “Because if you take another look at the autopsy report, it shows that one of those shots could have been from the back.”
Another lawyer for Dorian, James Williams, added his input that there were indeed “lots of misinformation, a lot of attempts to distract from the truth.”
“The truth here is that these two unarmed young men were running down the street away from a police officer, when he chased them and gunned them down. He didn’t try to apprehend them without using deadly force. They were doing nothing other than walking in the middle of the street.”
All this distraction about whether or not he was shot in the back or the back of the arm is of no moment. But it consistent with Dorian Johnson’s testimony.”
“We can’t both talk at the same time.” Pirro said, after a few failed attempts to continue her misinformation campaign. “I’m asking the questions. Mr. Wilson, if you don’t want to listen to the question then there’s no point in continuing with this conversation.”
The mic and the camera for the lawyers were cut and Pirro brought in her next guest.
