Isn't that funny how he demands the White House to promote his show. lol. I guess it's worth a try. Bill Maher wanted to talk with Bush too.

This is just stupid....I'm sorry but it is just stupid. They should realize that the kind of people who watch Fox and take it seriously would never vote for them or support anything they do. Why give the yahoos at Fox the credibility of even noticing that they are on the planet? Just stupid.

"The way we -- the president looks at it and we look at it, is, it is not a news organization so much as it has a perspective," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel added on CNN's "State of the Union."

The open assault on Fox News began last weekend when White House Communications Director Anita Dunn accused the network of being a "wing of the Republican Party."

If Fox news isn't a news show...why did Van Jones resign, after being showed who he really is by FOX NEWS!

Why did the whole Acorn issues came up after being showed on FOX NEWS?

Guess Fox News is bothering them more than any other outlet .....
As if other Networks aren't "pushing a particular point of view"; but, I believe Fox is very well balanced overall.

Just imagine the furor if George Bush had launched a similar attack on CNN, or MSNBC? Libs would have come unglued would they not?

A sitting President has no business attacking private individuals or private business the way Obama has. It's absolutly disgusting, and smells of a dictatorship. I don't like it one bit, and what is happening in our government under this so-called president scares the hell out of me.

Our founders would be turning over in there graves.

Next November will be a turning point in American history and politics. I think we will see a huge return to Limited Government proponents, and a new Congress that will render Obama ineffective. I certainly hope I'm right, but the seeds are planted and the irony is that Obama has planted them.

On the contrary, they attacked private companies such as banks mecilessly. There is nothing new about this.

If you have an issue with the intelligence that was presented, take it up with Bubba. Even after the 1993 WTC attack and the four additional attacks on the US by the very same Al Qaeda, bubba allowed a 25% attrition rate at CIA during his presidency. Maybe we could have verified the actual location of the chemical weapons used on the Kurds and Iranians if Bubba was on the ball.

Are you seriously suggesting that we wait to be attacked again before acting in our own pro-active self-defense? Should we have simply taken Hussein's word that he destroyed his stock piles of WMDs and left it at that? Wait and see got us 9/11. Grow up!

Nice..the blame Clinton deflection..If we are unfortunately attacked again, I'll be sure to blame Bush. Yeah, Bush waited and saw after an analyst told him "BIN LADEN PLANNING STRIKE INSIDE US"..He was to busy pretending to clear brush on the ranch. LOL..Lastly, IRAQ DIDN'T ATTACK US..LOL..

Dude, by using you logic, we should attack Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, China, Japan and any non-western nation in possession of WMD's. Isn't it ironic that Bush,the Commander in Cheif, led us into war with the one country without any.

Not a lie.
Palin proposed cutting in half the Special Olympics grant from the state. The final budget had an increase.
Not a lie but an error, for which Maddow apologize.
"Well, today, Shirley & Banister wrote to us to let us know that while they used to represent Grassfire.org, they no longer represent them. Now, I apologize for saying that they were still currently involved in representing Grassfire. They are not." 'The Rachel Maddow Show' for Friday, August 14 - Rachel Maddow show- msnbc.com
I'm not going through a web site....

White people were showing up with guns. Not a lie. That one was a black man.....perhaps misrepresented.
If MSNBC is wrong, and I'm not convinced they are, it was obviously an error, not a lie.

AnnCoulter.com - Archived Article: OLBERMANN'S PLASTIC IVY (http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=300 - broken link)
Whether Coulter likes it or not, Olbermann's degree is from Cornell. The School of Communications is on the Agricultural and Life Science campus of the university. Coulter attended the School of Life Sciences on the main Cornell campus. Both their diploma's say "Cornell University". Coulter is just being an elitist.
It's an opinion piece. How is it a lie? Disagree with the scientists if you want, but you can't claim they are lying (unless you're twisting the meaning of "lying").
It says in your own link that CNN admitted that their statement was not true and that even Wayne LaPierre said it could have been ignorance on the reporter's part. Then the story goes on to quote the sheriff making the incorrect statement with which the reporter agreed. Mistake, not lie.

How CNN Spreads Lies

Not sure what the issue is. CNN ran an ad which was then pulled by the organization because it was false. I don't see a CNN lie. The charge that they should have disclosed that Ted Turner who sits on the Time Warner board which owns CNN contributes to the organization which produce the ad is a bit too convoluted and removed to be a lie.

and, of course, we know what happened this week, but, I didn't include any of those lies because they did eventually correct them. Damage was already done though.
No, I don't know what happened this week. But if they corrected it, it sounds like an error, not a lie.

You do know what a lie is, don't you?
