1/ Fox & Friends First spends 14 min. interviewing "Fatima" LIVE from Kabul who claims she's stranded

MELE: Difficult to hear, it's such a real and raw emotional situation
SHIMKUS: And it is the reality of the situation for thousands of people, thousands of Americans and Afghans
2/ During the live phone interview, "Fatima" thanks @FoxNews as well as congresswoman @RepCarolMiller (R-WV)

"Fatima" also sent Rep. Miller an audio recording
The phone connection to Kabul is crystal clear
There is no satellite delay

📺#WeReportYouDecide
3/ "Fatima" says her daughter fears Taliban is going to behead her so she tricks her into believing they're bringing kittens

Although @FoxNews had difficulties with LIVE satellite feeds to @TreyYingst in Kabul, the phone connection to "Fatima" is clear.

4/ Now @foxandfriends is using the words of "Fatima" to attack @PressSec Jen Psaki and Pres. Biden: "We Are Stranded"

DOOCY: You know who else is sayin' they're stranded? Somebody who's stranded!

Is "Fatima" stranded in Kabul?

📺 #WeReportYouDecide
5/ Listen to the full @FoxNews “Fatima” phone interview crystal clear and LIVE from Kabul with no satellite delay.

Is “Fatima” real?

#WeReportYouDecide
6/ @Mediaite accepts live “Fatima” interview from Kabul as real without independent confirmation.

“‘We are stranded at home,’ the woman, who went by the assumed name of ‘Fatima,’ said in an early morning interview with @FoxFriendsFirst.” –@AugustTakala
7/ “Fox News had reached out to Psaki on Saturday about Fatima’s experience. The White House never issued a response.” –Nikolas Lanum @FoxNews

Because she isn’t trapped in Afghanistan, or her tale is fabricated? #WeReportYouDecide
8/ On the phone: crystal clear "American trapped in Afghanistan" first of all wants to thank @FoxNews and @RepCarolMiller (R-WV)

@jillianmele @CarleyShimkus
9/ "Fatima" Debuts on #SpecialReport

PSAKI: I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not.
DOOCY: Not true according to an American government worker and MOM trying to leave Kabul

If she's on your @FoxNews show, @BretBaier, she must be real — right?

📺
10/ “Fatima” could be in Kabul or Kalamazoo — only @pdoocy knows

Tragic. Unimaginable. That Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) would lie about a man fixing a flag in Kandahar to score a brutal political point.

#Afghanidiot
2/ How many false narratives can the @nypost create in ONE DAY? We're sorry, Alexander Hamilton.

3/ For those claiming Biden was checking his watch, please be aware that he wears his son Beau's rosary beads on his left wrist, next to his watch.

This @TODAYshow interview is w/ @megynkelly.

1/ @FoxFriendsFirst is angry at Biden for "checking watch" during dignified transfer after "every single one that came out of that airplane"

MELE: Yeah, I mean you saw that video there — the President appearing to be checking his watch

But @FoxNews stopped video at watch⌚️

📺
2/ But the "checking watch" moment actually occurred AFTER all caskets containing U.S. service members had been loaded into vans and were driving away. Biden's motion is odd and regimented. He stood hand to heart when each casket was carried before him.

📺c-span.org/video/?514338-…
3/ This is how @FoxFriendsFirst pretends to be a news show — amplify a false right wing narrative promoted by a @FoxNews opinion host like "Hannity" while @jillianmele & @ToddPiro play anchors to give the story an air of credibility

There's so much wrong with this tweet in memoriam, but I'll just leave Howie with a reeducation on Ed Asner's TV legacy: "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77) preceded "Lou Grant" (1977-82) 🤦‍♀️

#RIPEdAsner ImageImage
It’s impossible to get ratioed for posting a tweet honoring Ed Asner.

@HowardKurtz: “Hold my beer.” Image
1. You mean Ed Asner, Howie, not Lou Grant
2. “Calilng” [sic] is not a word
3. Stop tweeting

1/ In edited interview w/ @HowardKurtz, WH reporter Peter Doocy erases history by omitting that he challenged Jen Psaki on 8/24 about her contention that no Americans were stranded in Afghanistan.

He was referring to Fox News 'Fatima,' who contacted @FoxFriendsFirst from Kabul. ImageImageImageImage
2/ Fox News 'Fatima' first appeared on @FoxFriendsFirst "LIVE" by phone from Kabul on 8/24. She claimed she was unable to get to the airport, though later on #Hannity her husband said she'd spent three days at the airport but could not get on a plane.

🧵
Image
3/ On 8/27, @FoxFriendsFirst reported 'Fatima' had been miraculously rescued and reunited w/ her family

But she wasn't reunited — she was in Germany
And she hadn't contacted her family, even though she spoke to @FoxNews
And she was never "stranded"

"The bill's text states that SB3 would remove the requirement to teach things like slavery and the ways it is morally wrong, women's suffrage and equal rights, the emancipation proclamation, & Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech."

Even @CarleyShimkus is dumbfounded.
2/ @FoxFriendsFirst hosts were caught off guard when 'Former Teacher' TX State Sen. @AngelaPaxtonTX (R) defended #SB3, claiming the bill had been "mischaracterized."

She was *not* identified as the wife of Texas AG @KenPaxtonTX (R).

3/ WATCH @FoxFriendsFirst hosts @CarleyShimkus & @ToddPiro become irritated as TX State Sen. @AngelaPaxtonTX (R) lies about #SB3 being "mischaracterized" and calls civil rights "controversial."

Sen. Paxton was never identified as AG @KenPaxtonTX's wife.

1/ Why does every @FoxFriendsFirst 'Moms Panel' on Critical Race Theory feature a @GOP operative or vocal pro-Trump national figure identified only as "Fairfax County parents" by host @ToddPiro?
