I wonder if any of the Rush thread people could verify something for me.

I thought I heard Rush say this morning that the Obama people have somehow spread the rumor that FOX would be showing “2016” on Sunday and that it is not true; the rumor was spread to keep people from going to the theaters.

I know from another thread that “2016” was on Utube for a brief time but has been pulled.

My other half sent out a bunch of emails spreading the rumor that FOX news would be broadcasting “2016” Sunday, but before we send out the retraction, we’d like confirmation.

Thanks for your help!

That was only a rumor.

Concerning the prospect of the film airing on FNC, some websites including SmartGirlPolitics.com, apologized for being a conduit for misinformation.

“Last night we were made aware that someone posted an erroneous blog post on our user blogs regarding the movie 2016 being shown on Fox News,” wrote the website's president, Stacy Mott. “It was immediately taken down, but unfortunately, a handful of people had already responded to it through Twitter. This was not, in any way, something posted by Smart Girl Politics or any member of our team.”

Over the weekend, there also were mass e-mails making the claim that Fox News was about to air the movie for free.
