A litmus test for trusting the talking heads on television just flashed thru my mind. I also use it for politicians.

Would you buy a used car from this individual, and feel comfortable about it?

This is an example of the type of questions commentators ask their guests on Fox News! Their questions are not asked necessarily for an answer, but they are asked with the intent of injecting insults and propaganda! They are asked in a manner that hopefully will evoke emotion rather than an intellectual, factual answer.

Congratulations! Your thread demonstrates that you have bent your mind around the mindless propaganda from Fox News!

And the #1 Olbermann lie of 2006:

#1: This was a tough call. There was just so much to pick from. But a lie this shameless and impudent deserves pride of place. The subject matter was another eeevil Fox employee: John Gibson. Gibby was never entirely off of Olby's radar. KO chortled as he distorted Gibson's words to claim the guy favored massacres. Krazy Keith had to rewrite what Gibson said to justify another cheap shot. But then Mr Gibson went too far. He dared to speak out when he caught Keith Olbermann in a lie. Olby was in a bind. How could he respond to Gibby when every word Gibby spoke was true? The solution: the Double-Helix Self-Referential Olbermann lie. Keith lied about John Gibson, and to do so, lied about himself to cover up the original lie caught by Gibson. Confused? That's exactly what Fat Ass was counting on, but it was all caught on tape. Keith Olbermann's double fabrication, in the face of conclusive proof via transcripts, audio, and video clips, was so flagrant that it virtually cried out to be named Keith's #1 lie of 2006. And so it is.

I rarely watch Olbermann because he's too over-the-top for me in most instances. Nevertheless, there are a plethora of hits on Google referring to Olberman's lies. It's not hard to find.

A lie is a lie, isn't it? Why does it matter if it made the front page of the New York Times or not? How often does the left point out Hannity's lies? How often do those make the front page news? Get over yourself.

The great lengths that liberals will go to dismiss something based on trivial technicalities is farcical at best, and downright embarrassing at worst.

Is this as opposed to you wrapping your mind around the mindless propaganda from MSNBC?

In this entire dissertation of so called lies of Olbermann, there is not one quote from Olbermann! ??????? The entire dissertation is nothing more than an opinion!

Will this make you happy?


Olbermann Lies About Free Republic on MSNBC


The point is, Keith Olbermann has outright lied and there are plenty of Google hits that seemly back up the OP's assertion.

Do your homework. This particular example happened just a few weeks ago.
