Sadly, this doesn't surprise me.
And the whole reason they're able to get away with it is because so many of the Republican news sources sacrificed every last bit of journalistic integrity a long time ago just so they could adhere to the Republican talking points. You will never hear Faux News or Rush Limbaugh talk about this until and unless the mainstream media makes so muh stink over it that they have no other choice; and even then, they'll only talk about how it's proof that the rest of the media is biased towards democrats and about how the democrats are all out to get them.
I don't like the idea of the government being in control of the media, but it's certainly better than media being in control of the government; especially when it's media that's so willing to distort truth and outright lie. I wonder if what restrictions the FCC could put in place to shut Faux News down?
