Fox’s ‘The Five’ SLAMS Media Matters: ‘Inaccurate, Erroneous And Shameful’ [VIDEO]

The co-hosts of Fox’s “The Five” tore into liberal group Media Matters for an article attacking host Kimberly Guilfoyle for supposedly saying that young women shouldn’t vote. The problem: Guilfoyle never said anything of the sort.

CO-HOST DANA PERINO: Apparently over the last two days, people have been taking something that we talked about the other day on the show completely out of context. There’s a suggestion that, Kimberly, you said that young women shouldn’t vote because they’re uninformed. When I heard about this, I said ‘Wait, she was talking about if you’re a prosecutor and prosecuting a case and you have to pick a jury, you typically do not pick the young woman because she would not be the person you want on that jury.’ That’s true across the board for any sort of prosecutor. So you were not saying that. This is a woman that went to the Latino stars event in Queens so she could talk to young people about the importance of being involved in your civic duty.

CO-HOST BOB BECKEL: Who’s the idiot that came up with that?

PERINO: Media Matters.

GUILFOYLE: Unfortunately, yeah, what they did it took a headline and said ‘Kimberly Guilfoyle says young women should not vote. I made a joke at the end I said, yeah, if I wanted to thank someone and excuse someone from jury service that is the language you use in the courtroom. They want to go back and do social media, dating websites, fine. Nothing about voting. I take the right to vote very seriously. I take the right to serve on a jury very seriously and I think you should be informed when you do both things.’

BECKEL: Can I say one thing about this? Media Matters lines up on my side politically. If you’re going to do something like this, you’ve got to be sure you’re doing it right. It’s not just them, it happens in other places. But I think this one was particularly egregious because it was exactly opposite of what you were talking about, so get your act together, guys.

GUILFOYLE: Unfortunately, they made that headline and the liberal media ran with it and used the headline that they manufactured when there was not one iota of truth in it.

BOLLING: Specifically Huff Po picked it up. They must have writers sit there, ‘Let’s see what Media Matters puts up anti-Fox that we can find and let’s go spread this garbage as far as we can spread it.’

CO-HOST GREG GUTFELD: But it does show the lie behind militant feminism in that they ignore attacks on conservative women, pretty vicious attacks we’ve seen from comedians like Bill Maher towards Sarah Palin, with words we can’t repeat.

BOLLING: We’re talking about Media Matters, who makes a habit — it’s almost their only focus— of attacking “Fox and Fox” personalities and they’ll twist it … turn some words around and then rewrite the piece to make it look like someone says something they didn’t say.

GUILFOYLE: And they’ll put a headline that’s inaccurate, erroneous and shameful.

BOLLING: Yet, they call themselves a 501c 3 or 4, or a tax-exempt organization, which is ludicrous.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
