Megyn Kelly Incorrectly Reports That ‘The White House’ Launched AttackWatch Website (Update)

video
» 168 comments

In teasing an upcoming America Live segment Wednesday, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly said that “the White House” launched a new website called Attack Watch, and a graphic reading “Obama Admin Launches Website to stop web ‘misinformation’” displayed throughout the segment. Love it or hate it, the Attack Watch website was launched by Obama For America, and the White House has nothing to do with it. If only there was some way to report this kind of misinformation…

On Wednesday, we reported that the Obama campaign launched a less-kinder, less-gentler version of its 2008 “Fight the Smears” website called AttackWatch. This prompted a flurry of combined mockery and hysteria from conservatives online, and “significant interest from supporters” who signed up in droves, according to the Obama campaign.

Fox’s America Live, which is on the hard news side of the network’s opinion/news partition, featured a debate segment on the site, and repeatedly made the false claim that the “White House” and the “Obama Administration” were responsible for the launch of the site.

Kelly cited the “White House” as the responsible party during her segment tease, then, when setting up the segment, said the Attack Watch site was “launched by the President’s reelection campaign,” but as a graphic stating “Obama Admin Launches Website to stop web ‘misinformation’” appears onscreen, Kelly then quotes “the White House” again.

The debate segment itself also relies on this false premise, as conservative Chris Plante states, uncorrected, that the site asks people to “report to the government on their neighbors about political speech that they deem offensive,” and compares it to the East German Stasi.

Democratic strategist Chris Hahn doesn’t catch it either, but counters by describing the site as “rapid response for a new generation.”

Kelly does interrupt the segment to clarify something her conservative guest said, but it was not about the Obama administration. She reads an email from James Rosen in defense of Richard Nixon. “You guys tried to smear Richard Nixon,” Kelly exclaims, “and James Rosen caught you on it!”

It’s hard to deny that Attack Watch’s graphics are designed to make conservatives pee their pants a little (and it’s predictably having the same effect on some liberals), and Plante is certainly entitled to his opinion that the “black and red page” is “creepy,” but neither he, nor Fox News, are entitled to their own facts.

Perhaps this episode can be the first item when the campaign launches a website to counter attacks on AttackWatch. They can call it AttackWatch.com-attack watch. Dot com.

Update: After we posted this story, Kelly offered the following clarification on-air:

“Wanted to offer this quick clarification on a story we did two days ago about the web site attack watch. A new web site launched by President Obama’s reelect campaign It’s intended to be a place for supporters to report attacks on president Obama’s record. Conservatives have attacked it as big brother, and a big brother approach to tracking political enemies. At one point in our Wednesday report we said the administration launched this. It was not the administration. it was produced by the president’s reelection team.”

It’s worth pointing out, however that much of the entire segment was pegged to the issue of the administration supporting AttackWatch, and not something that was simply misreported “at one point.”

    Tommy: It does appear that Megyn Kelly got the information wrong about the “attack site”, but I first heard of the site here on Mediaite.  While I checked things out and found out it wasn’t launched by Obama, it was launched by his campaign.  So what’s the difference?

  • Michelle

    Yeah, I’m sure the Regime had nothing to do with it.  The Dem strategist didn’t “catch” it because anyone with a brain knows the Admin is knee deep in this embarrassment.

    TECHNICALLY the site was launched by Obama for America and TECHNICALLY that is not the White House/US Government and though TECHNICALLY you are right, AttackWatch was launched with full knowledge and approval of the guy in the White House.  So TECHNICALLY we could say that BO launched the site…or approved of the site’s launch…neither of which sounds any better.

    Tip to Mediaite readers:  If you want to know which news stories are important, pay attention to which journalists are getting attacked at Mediaite.  Nine times out of ten, that will take you straight to the big story.

    So which is the big story here?
    (a) The President is using the internet to put together a Nixon-type enemies list
    (b) Megan Kelly did not clarify that it was the Obama campaign, not the White House that set up the site.

    Easy to figure that one out, especially when one follow the above rule.

    Click on any politician and you get a false list.  This story was about Fox News.  Fox News is a Conservative propaganda machine.  You’ll comeback with MSNBC shit, but MSNBC doesn not make a habit of purposely making shit up about the GOP.  MSNBC reports a progressive agenda yes, but does not make shit up.  (Or attaching an R to a D’s name on the scroll line if the story about that person is embarrassing.)  We can go bck and forth all day.  Fact is, Fox News lies.  That’s what this story is about.  When they report on MSNBC lying, I’ll be back and will post but but but what about Fox news..??  Fact is, I will not have to do that.

    MSNBC doesn’t make shit up????????   Huh?  Do you actually watch Maddow or Ed Shultz or the rest of the cast?  I don’t mind you saying that both news companies skew their views, but please do not say MSNBC does nothing.  That is the problem when you get so one sided, you don’t see the whole picture or question anything.  You watch Maddow and say “Yea! She’s right!”  That happens on BOTH sides.  

    Allow me a recent example:  On Monday, Maddow tried to debunk the fact that Bernankie is an inflationary fed chairman by showing a graph going back to 1920 and comparing him to all other fed chiefs and the inflation numbers.  She tries to throw that off as fact.  Problem is that in the late 1980s and early 1990′s the government changed the way they calculate CPI (inflation – google it) which removed things like Gas, Food, and Housing – which just happen to be the things most effected by Bernie and his devalue the dollar mantra.

    So she showed a graph, knowing that it was an unfair comparison because the numbers from 1920-1988 cannot be compared to the numbers past that.  If she would have shown post 1988 in the same math used to calculate the previous, it would have shown Bernie at at 9 percent plus, which would have made him one of the worst.  So she told a deliberate lie to make her point.  Need I continue?

    The TEA Party is almost one year old. Obama has been screwing the Country for three years.

    Only 12 percent of voters consider themselves members of the Tea Party
    movement, and voters have a 42 – 29 percent unfavorable view of it,
    which is better than the 51 – 35 percent unfavorable view of the
    Democrats and 53 – 32 percent unfavorable view of the Republicans. obama is somewhere between 52 and 55% disapproval across a wider range of voters than the 12%.

    Again, NY-9… NV… And Wisconsin recall failures.

    As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, President Obama’s campaign team has set up a new Web site, AttackWatch.com, to challenge negative statements about the president made by Republican presidential candidates and conservatives.

    Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird told ABC News
    that the site’s goal is to offer “resources to fight back” against
    attacks. Mostly, that means fact checking statements from the likes of
    GOP presidential contenders Mitt Romney and Rick Perry and conservative
    commentator Glenn Beck and offering evidence to the contrary. The site
    is designed in bold red and black colors, and uses statements like
    “support the truth” and “fight the smears.”

    The response to the site has been less than stellar.

    “President obama’s campaign team has set up a new web site” said the faux news channel ABC!

    Tommy…. if President Incompetent’s reelection campaign launched this site, and if for any reason he felt it was inappropriate or incongruous with his administration, he or his administration certainly have the power to deal with it. So the distinction, while correct–and deserving of correction, is hardly a big deal.

    When will you go work for MSNBC and stop annoying us with your blatant biases? This site has always been honorable for being fact-based, with slight commentary… but not the extreme commentaries that change the entire thrust of an article to simply what you believe in. You don’t belong here.

    why don’t you get off the rag and fine tune your sarcasm detector… 

    if you see my other posts around this site you’d know i’m hardly the angry liberal type but a good-humored conservative…  i don’t want to have to insult your intelligence by putting a “warning:  sarcastic post” anytime i feel sarcasm is in order… 

    i accept your apology…

    What makes you think that the riots in London were done by left wingers?

    Well, they’re always demanding more free cheese from the government, and breaking things when they don’t get their way, so we know they are leftists. That wasn’t hard to figure out.

    So is Mohamad still the number one boy name in the UK?

    Rumor has it that working citizens in the UK no longer have babies because they can no longer afford to. They are too busy supporting welfare babies of immigrants and others on the welfare dole.

    ‘Sharpton says he’s decided not to criticize the president about anything.’ So the guy who was criticizing the president is out(Cenk-off Uighur), even though he had really good ratings, and the guy who has decided not to criticize the president about anything is in. That’s interesting.”

    Whenever there is no (D) in the sex scandal being “reported” on, the liberals leave the (D) out as much as possible! If it s a republican, all republicans must die!

    And where is the lie by FOX? ABC reported that the administration launched the site… ABC is left wing.

    He seems to be getting a lot of sign-ups and people who “hear” stuff about him have a place to go to see if it’s true. Lots of politicians have these kinds of pages where they state their stance on issues and attempt to debunk any mudslinging tactics by their opponents. And of course republicans have FauxNews at their disposal.

    Roger that. Sarcasm is appreciated to alleviate the mindless liberal drivel here. Has any of the liberals made the attempt to report this fox spinner to the attackwatch site yet? Should you or I do it for them?

    I’m telling big daddy O…. And you’re gonna be in big trouble…

    I started the site until I was against the site…

    It has become a laughing stock. Obama will soon blame Bush for it.

    “We saw this ‘turn in your neighbors’ thing in the ’30s and ’40s”

    LOL! Yeah they probably had a nicer web site back then though. You need medication and you definitely need a job.

    The site is working fine for me, maybe they just shut YOU out of it, Stonepark.

    Of course, Tommy Christopher will want to exonerate Richard Nixon, since the Watergate break-in was funded by the Committee to Re-Elect the President.  You see, it was Nixon’s campaign, not the White House or the President himself…..

    For shitsake take a chill pill. Where is all the “good-humor?” You accuse me of being on the rag when you post back in that manner?

    In all fairness I don’t read every post and I don’t have a list of who is Liberal and who is Conservative on here. Also, just because you think it sounds like you are being sarcastic it is not always easy to tell in a general post. Most Liberals are assholes so when you come off as one it is hard to tell the difference.

    I would have gladly offered an apology if you had asked nicely and added a smiley face.

    “There’s a new Twitter account making President Obama look like a creepy, authoritarian nutjob,” an Arizonan tweeted. “In less than 24 hours, Attack Watch has become the biggest campaign joke in modern history,”

  • Anonymous

    Maybe the Obama campaign should add a reward for people who turn in their neighbors.  That would improve his program to fight misinformation by crowdsourcing.  Or how about recording phone calls to make sure people don’t spread misinformation about the President on the telephone.  Emails too.  Lots of misinfomation is spread via emails, no?  

    And of course, we need to stop all that misinformation on talk radio.  And at tea parties.  And town hall meetings.

    When you get a chance, rudeboy11, read Orwell, especially the parts on “doublethink.”  You will then have a term to describe your totalitarian approach to politics.

    Hey Attackwatch, you need to respond to this claim:


    Leading House Democrats are accusing the Obama administration of ignoring the lingering mortgage crisis and threatening tens-of-millions of Americans with foreclosure in the process.The lawmakers – encouraged by Obama’s mention of mortgage-relief in his address to Congress last week – were quickly deflated just days later when their efforts to learn the details of the White House plan proved unsuccessful.

    “The administration has been AWOL on this issue,” charged Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.), “and the American people are suffering because of the mismanagement.”“In my entire political career, I’ve never seen anything this irresponsible,” he added.

    LOL

    And so what is unusual about the Fox Freaks LYING? About as common as a coyote howling in New Mexico. But the coyotes sound better.

    It’s was shoddy reporting and it’s good there was a clarification.

     Has there ever been one conservative conspiracy theorist or over-zealous campaigner that a Republican president or congress member hasn’t been asked to personally address?

    Attack Watch is a creepy site and a yet another creepy new avenue in the ever-murky territory of campaign tactics within our entire political culture.. 

    Surely, some reporter could directly ask the president how he feels about the site.

    I guess we’ll have to wait for Jake Tapper to do it.

    What’s the difference? It’s still creepy. The lovely red, black and white color scheme reminds one of something that originated in Germany in the 30s.

    Face it, Barack Obama and his minions are nothing but a creepy bunch of totalitarian nutjobs. Which makes Tommy Christopher here one of their “Useful idiots.”

    The White House Attack Team (WHAT!), the Committee to Reach Unemployed Democrats (CRUD), and the Committee to Reelect the African President (CRAP) are all behind that site.

    So, the people making it work all belong to WHAT the CRUD is this CRAP?

    Yeah, let’s say it on the air and discuss it on several shows and keep sliding the falsehoods in, and then do a quick   Oops my bad, correction. End result achieved, Fox viewers believe something that isn’t true and have their visceral reaction to all things Obama and Democrat, rather than being factually informed.

    It’s a model that repeats itself too often to be a coincidence.

    what an f’ing stupd article.  parse semantics much, mediaite?    of course Obama supports this sort of faux dictatorial scariness.  remember the “enemies list”, geniuses?  with media outlets like you, who needs disinformation?  you’ve got the whole thing covered here.  hacks…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_K3BQYFU6MP6OPCJ4HTV6ZDKLY4 Sub

    “misinformation”?  wow, by who’s decree?  you’re from britain, you should understand that one man’s “misinformation” is another man’s factual truth.  the point is, obama is the one engaging in smear tactics, by suggesting that anyone in opposition is guilty of lies/smears themselves.  that’s the stuff of dictators, pal, can you parse that in those synapses of yours?  ”opposition” is fundamental to american politics, and the suggestion that all opposition is “misinformation” is beyond scary.  pull your head out of his rear, maybe you’ll be able to see this…..

  • Rulierose

     exactly what I thought. BAH! gotcha Megyn, you stupid Fox person–it wasn’t “the white house,” it was “OFA” which has NOTHING to do with Obama…nothing at all…ya right.

  • Rulierose

    if I was a lefty I’d be pretending #attackwatch had nothing to do with Obama too.  it has been an epic fail–I see that there are 563 new sarcastic tweets about it just since I logged on 15 minutes ago…

    things are going so poorly for Obama and his minions that they’re getting desperate. this article and the comments about “Fox lies” show that. clearly, whether it was “the White House” or “OFA” the site launched at Obama’s behest. is it really such a triumph for you that it wasn’t “the White House”? that’s grabbing at straws.

    see you in 2012!

    I see no difference between the administration, and the president’s reelection team.  Pretty much one and the same.
