Politico, it is difficult to reason with individuals that bring out or point out selective information. Or may I state, disregards information that it is not convenient to point out.
why don't you try a google search if you can figure it out, hundreds of them about all the aforementioned.
Gateway Pundit: Shocker... Keith Olbermann Lies About Tea Party Violence-- Compares Protesters to Hamas & Hezbollah (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/shocker-keith-olbermann-lies-about-tea.html - broken link)
many many more, for Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck all of them.
First video "has been removed due to terms of use violation" and I cant make sense of the commentary. I found a transcript to what I think is it - this:
but I cant follow along that guy's commentary for it.
Second one - "Not merely spreading lies but convincing a dissatisfied portion of the population to believe their propaganda and to act out in anger" - it's true! The St Louis townhall, the other townhalls - everything he says is 100% true.
Unfortunately, I think that's the very issue. Most FOX viewers do not seem to have the critical thinking skills (dare I say, intellect) necessary to comprehend that they're being lied to by the hosts of their favorite FOX shows. Thus, the viral spread of misinformation (read: lies) by FOX "News" entertainers is misinterpreted by a large portion of feebleminded conservative viewers as factual information.
I wonder which response(s) Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly would choose in this particular poll...the first or the second?
I wonder how many FOX News viewers would choose the fourth response, while ironically (hypocritically?) taking no issue with their preferred FOX program host(s)?
You know, Lou Dobbs says about the same things as Beck. Dobbs left CNN and the ratings dropped. He went back to CNN and the ratings went back up. Guess this proves that CNN viewers are feebleminded liberals that believe CNNs lies are factual information. And don't forget Tucker Carlson at MSNBC. Another right wing liar. And Stossel at ABC. But all you want to talk about is people that happen to work for FOX??? You're intelligent.
Please cite where I "denigrated every person" who watches FOX.

Really so this was your version of "love" for the viewers of Fox. Oh yes I see it now, such a sweet, lovely, kind post. *Please insert all the sarcasm you can muster into my comment*.
If a news network or media organization offered you a salary in the $Millions (ala Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, etc), would you have a problem distorting the truth and flat-out lying to your audience on a daily basis, in an effort to promote your employer's extremist political agenda?
Would the financial gain, the opportunity to be "famous" and/or your own extremist political ideologies be enough for you to abandon any sort of personal integrity or professional ethical standards?
Replace Beck, Hannity and O'Reillys names with Pelosi, Reid, Cheney and Helms etc... and you just might have a valid point.
The truth is that it is our dear public servants who have sold out for millions - they are the ones who knowingly and repeatedly lie to the people that they are sworn to serve. Yet you let them off the hook - or should I say that you let 'your guys' off the hook. Why is it that? Do you believe that your guys don't lie? Aren't corrupt? Or just that they lie less and aren't quite as rotten at those 'other guys'?
I read so much absolute crap on here about how stupid those repugs are and how stupid those democrats are and you know what? You get the government you deserve - and you people who are so happy, hell I'd even go so far as to say enthralled with the notion of belonging to a team that you will excuse and overlook all the many times you have been lied to and successfully manipulated into not questioning the status quo.
But hey, have fun throwing insults and sweeping generalizations about while Rome burns. If it entertains you and distracts you then you have done your party proud.
** this post is not just to Politico though it started out that way, but includes anyone who has ever typed 'the ________ are all stupid'.

I don't think you watch Glenn Beck very often. I think he has stuck his neck out in exposing ACORN and continuing to pound on them. As of today, I haven't seen him tell one lie about them. I wonder why you say the things you said about integrity when you certainly probably do believe that Ubermann tells truth only. Right?
BTW, how many millions do you think Fox pays Beck? I sure don't know but have you noticed that it must be more since he has worn slacks and dress shoes the past two weeds and not jeans and tennies. He is getting better and better and I am sure he has to travel with body guards even to get from work to home. Nawwwww, ACORN wouldn't turn their Muscle for Money people loose on him, would they?
