Fox News gets facts, math wrong in report about NEA grants
Over the past week, Fox News has pushed a storyline on the recent National Endowment for the Arts “stimulus” grants that has an eerily familiar tone: The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night “pervert”Read More
