What do Osama bin Laden, President Woodrow Wilson and Matt Damon all have in common? If Fox News is to be believed, all three hate America.
Over the past 15 years, anchors and commentators on the network have leveled the “hate America” charge at over 100 people, places, and organizations, VICE News found in an extensive review of Fox News broadcasts. The list includes violent extremists and despots, but also celebrities, academics and even entire countries. It’s sometimes unclear to what extent the “hate America” accusation is serious or playful.
