Issa: You Need to Watch More of Me on Fox News

Picard and Riker Facepalm

If you have a habit of making accurate statements or representing empirical reality such as it is, there’s a cure for that. Watch more Fox News!

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Monday told Dr. Randy Farris, a Texas health administrator for the federal government, to watch more Fox News after the health official did not satisfactorily answer Issa’s questions about HealthCare.Gov, according to the Dallas Morning News.

“You need to watch more Fox News, I’m afraid,” Issa retorted after Farris claimed that consumers’ personal information was not stored on the health exchange website.

Unseen in this short but illuminating quote is the fact that House Oversight Chairman Darrel “Witchunt” Issa is among those chiefly responsible for disseminating the idea that healthcare.gov poses a risk to security.

That’s precisely why the administration is no longer cooperating with Darrell Issa. Because he can’t be trusted to not selectively leak documents that, when viewed without context, may be used to present a false narrative on Fox News.

When Issa says “you need to watch more Fox News,” he’s more or less saying that you need to watch more of him. He’s one of Fox News’ most unreliable sources.
