Fox News: the Revisionist History Channel

Frederick Douglass

Fox News put on a screen shot that claimed abolitionist Frederick Douglass debated Abraham Lincoln. That would have been difficult. At the time, black men could not run for the Senate.



Lincoln debated Stephen Douglas. Historians are quite certain that Douglas was a white dude. These Fox News anchors are just conservative talking heads that don't do things like fact-checking and reporting. If they did, they wouldn't have punked themselves.

So was Douglas on the pro-slavery side or something?
