Fox News Lies?... Bill O’Reilly Fox News Inaccurate Statements about Ripoff Report

FOX NEWS LIES News stations, especially FOX, have a reputation for getting it wrong. While I don’t necessarily believe rumors Ripoff Report had an experience that didn’t exactly help dilute that negative reputation. In this instance FOX got it wrong! Ripoff Report advised FOX that the information presented about Ripoff Report during the Bill O’Reiley show was inaccurate. In fact, other FOX Reporters and producers from around the USA contacted me and apologized for the situation and apparently tried to contact folks at FOX to let them know that the information presented was completely false. Did FOX do anything about it? NO! What is sad is that Ripoff Report has assisted most of the FOX News stations with reliable victim information for an estimated 100 consumer news segments and other projects since FOX News stations came into existence over 10 years ago. Look at the thanks that we get for being helpful…providing false information about Ripoff Report without the wherewithal to correct inaccuracies after they were pointed out to FOX by many. And NO, FOX News did not call us to be a part of the show nor did FOX News call to FACT-CHECK like any reliable news organization should do. Some “legitimate” news source you are… Giving false information is reliable “news”? What a joke! Self-proclaimed consumer advocate Cassie Slane did not even try to fix the problem once she knew the information that she stated was incorrect. Heaven forbid she apologize for her shoddy research and remedy the false information by later provide accurate information. Must have been easier to simply hide behind FOX News than to do the right thing. Cassie, any producer who knows Ripoff Report knows that you lied. Any half-wit with internet access could have done research, right on the Ripoff Report website, to pull the accurate information. You could have even called us if you weren’t sure about what you were saying. Such research isn’t exactly rocket science. Anyone reading any blog you have, giving advice is better off taking their advice from real consumers and not a wannabe who apparently doesn’t bother to conduct actual research before running at the mouth. Cassie Slane, you are no better than any of the folks who choose to abuse the Ripoff Report website that you were so quick to point fingers at and state inaccurate information about. You likely did a favor for someone who does not like us, totally disregarding whether or not you were telling the truth. You are free to have your own opinion sweetheart...but you are not entitled to your own facts. You should be ashamed and so should Bill O’Reilly along with its producers who refused to do a proper retraction with the same all day publicity they gave this false and misleading segment that served no use to their viewers.

The Truth About Rip-Off Report® Founder Ed Magedson

Consider this quote which first appeared online in 2004:

“Ed Magedson of RipOffReport.com is a WANTED criminal that extorts individuals that have posted on RipOffReport.com and legitimate companies for money and he may be operating one of the biggest criminal enterprises ever created on the Internet….”

The author of these words clearly has a strong negative opinion about Ed Magedson. No question there. But what about the facts? Are they true? Is Ed Magedson really a “WANTED criminal”? Is the Ripoff Report a “criminal enterprise” engaged in extortion? What’s the REAL truth behind these allegations?

With so much written about Ed Magedson, the founder of the original consumer complaint website www.RipoffReport.com, it can be hard to separate the facts from the fiction. Most people call him a hero, while others say he’s a criminal. Obviously, someone is lying. So what’s the real story? Who is telling the truth?

We will also confront and expose many of the popular myths about Ed and the Ripoff Report®.

Our goal is NOT to change your opinion about Ed or his work. Instead, we’re here to give you the facts so you can decide for yourself who’s telling the truth and who is not. We hope this helps to set the record straight and to present the real truth that Ed’s critics have worked so hard to conceal.

I cannot really know how to thank Ed enough — imagine a person strong enough, determined enough to stand up against everyone who would rip off the ‘common man,’ us lowly beings in the work forces of the Western World.
The number of men, in the last 5 centuries, who have profited enormously, illegally, immorally or unethically from the lowly man, this number is countless and the motive is always the same
more money. As for men like Ed their number is probably less than 10! Thank you, Ed, for your service to the populace!
