Shameless enough for you?

Let's go with Lumpy next shall we?


YouTube - Limbaugh Lying About Ben Cardin.wmv

One of tons..

And now it's Beck, admitting he doesn't check facts. What do you think happens when people don't check their facts?



YouTube - Glenn Beck Caught Lying

Here is an example.

YouTube - Fact-checking Glenn Beck

Oh and let's not forget Sean Hannity...


YouTube - Sean Hannity gets PWNED for lying about crowd video.
Ducks on a pond.
So let me understand Oreilly mispoke about an action in WW2 and he is a liar.

Did you watch the tape until the end? Obviously not.

And let's be clear,your contention that he "misspoke" is a load of crap. You could make that argument had it happened one time.

He got his ass handed to him for doing so the first time and rightfully so. (He shamed the memory of GI's who were slaughtered in cold blood by the Germans and accused these same soldiers of committing war crimes.)

Shameful enough for you?

So what does he do after getting railed for doing so?

He "misspeaks" again?

Nice try, but no.

The Olberman Clip is the very reason why his rating are awful - his show and the network for that matter is purely to battle Limbaugh, Hannity, Bill O, and Beck - I watch MSNBC just to see what they talk about - and the majority of the shows - Ed, Rachel and KO simply take what the big 4 say and talk about it...

If you add up the viewers from 5 pm to 9 pm for MSNBC you end up with roughly 3.4 million folks --- that counts Hardball TWICE! - so it is hardball, Ed show, Harball, KO, & Rachel - all are commentary shows ----Take Fox from 5 to 9 - Beck, Bret Baier, Sheppard Smith, Bill O, & Hannity - you get roughly 12 million viewers - out of these shows 2 are news 3 are commentary...

Fox has more viewers, less commentators, and does not spend time bashing MSNBC's anchors.

MSNBC has fewer viewers, more commentators, and spend an inordinate amount of time simply bashing Fox's commentators.

Note to MSNBC change your programming and content and maybe you will be competitive - stop agonizing over what the big 4 say - or stay the course and remain getting beat by a 4 to 1 margin.

So typical when someone from Fox is caught in a lie, an egregious shameful one at that, and your response is to speak about ratings.

Never mind the lie. It was reported on MSNBC, on video no less, yet the ratings are what's important to you.

You come to the conclusion that the only reason people cant stand Beck or Limbaugh or Hannity must be because they're afraid of them.

At least you're not saying we must be jealous, though.

YOU are cheapening the word 'lie', which means - to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive.

If you want to speak about that SPECIFIC statement that Bill O made in his 'letters' segment - he admits he was wrong adds that US soldiers committed atrocities after that incident. - AND does that fall into that category of "to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive"???

having never really listened to them except clips here, I find the pure hate and character assassination the left does to these guys make me much more intrigued to start to listen to them. I see people call them liars but they never put down what they lied about.

I am starting to think that the left really has fear of them, otherwise they would not be the topic of attacks.
Might push me to wards watching them and see what they have to say.
Knock yourself out. Who's stopping you?

Well - it was not a 'lie' it was not egregious - it was only egregious when KO told you so...and I point out the ratings to say that their programming exists solely to point out mistakes of other commentators - which O'Reilly addressed - and that programming is terrible.

So again where was Bill O's 'lie'?
