Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer got his historical facts very, very wrong when he claimed that Karl Marx wrote Mein Kampf.

Hemmer made the remark during a segment on America's Newsroom after he and co-anchor Dana Perino discussed critical race theory, a body of legal and academic scholarship that aims to examine how racism and disparate racial outcomes have shaped public policy via often implicit social and institutional dynamics.

Hemmer is wrong. The German philosopher Karl Marx teamed up with fellow philosopher Frederich Engels to write The Communist Manifesto, which was published in 1848.

immortal because he was able to write an autobiographical manifesto over 40 years after his death in 1883.

Just another example of how there is nothing newsworthy when it comes to Fox "News".
