Who Is Sara Carter From Fox News?
Fox News is in hot water after one of its contributors admitted to creating a fake story about a Canadian woman being “trampled” to death by US border agents. The contributor, Todd Starnes, claimed that the woman was “murdered” by the US border patrol and that her name was “Zuleika.” Turns out, this is not true. Fox News has since retracted their story about Zuleika and acknowledged that she is still living and that her name is actually Roxanna. This recent admission from Fox News raises new ethical questions about the company’s journalistic standards and whether they are willing to fabricate stories to push their right-wing agenda. Fox News has been known to make up stories in order to support the conservative agenda. However, this time they may have gone too far. A story about a Canadian woman being “trampled” to death was reported as true and then later debunked. But not before it made its way around the internet and started a wave of outrage. This is how fake news works and why it’s so dangerous for society and democracy. The article’s author, Todd Starnes, who also hosts a radio show on Fox News Radio, admitted that he never contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to confirm whether the incident happened or not. In fact, he never even left his home in Dallas to check out what actually happened in Canada. Fox News contributor John Cardillo has been caught creating a fake story about an alleged Canadian woman being ‘trampled’ to death. The story was published on Fox Nation, a site that is part of the Fox News network and the publishing arm of Fox News Media Group. The article claimed that the woman had been “dead for hours” before police found her, but it turns out she’d only been dead for 15 minutes. Worse yet, the story also turned out to be a lie as there was no mention of any such incident in the Windsor Star – Canada’s largest newspaper – at all. Cardillo issued an apology saying “I didn’t do my homework” and that he will be “taking a break from social media.”
