White House has cause to avoid Fox
The column by Colleen Campbell left out a few key points about Fox News and the White House. The facts that Bill O’Reilly has lied over and over should be cause to remove him.
Glenn Beck had the opportunity to put his own rally together and call for people to attend this event in Washington D.C. while on his own Fox News broadcast. Glenn Beck has caused people to hate President Obama; he told everyone Obama hates white people and is a racist. Beck encouraged people to bring guns to rallies and protests against President Obama. How long before someone or 20 people bring guns and one kills our president?
These issues are just a few. But if they don’t call for something to be done to stop this craziness, nothing does.

Steve: If not for Fox News, and particularly Glenn Beck, Van Jones would still be in the White House, in charge of a multi billion dollar program, and ACORN would still be receiving millions of our dollars and involved in our census. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Steve, why hasn’t the WH called Glenn Beck’s direct line in order to prove him wrong? You see, the problem with your side is that your side won’t debate the people you smear. You come on here and take pot shots like the WH does and accuse Beck of inciting an assassination attempt. What was your letter when Bush was President? Someone actually produced a movie in which W gets assassinated and you’re only interested in the black guy in Arizona showing up at a rally legally carrying a gun. Beck and O’Reilly have their faults, but they’ll invite any opposing view on their shows. Can you say the same for your side? Better watch out, Fox has snipers just waiting for the administration to show up.

There you leftists go again. Didn’t you learn anything from the recent failed smear attempt of Rush Limbaugh? Please provide specific examples of O’Reilly lying. These kind on undocumented accusations may work on your liberal hate-sites but the PD has higher standards, Burwell notwithstanding.
…”the P.D. has higher standards.”
–Ha! That’s a good one Shtaven.

–From today’s ‘Hardball’, Mathews interviewing Con.man Allan Grayson, Florida…
Mathews; “What is your comment about Cheney’s attack on Obama for “dithering” in Afghanistan?”
Grayson; “He is hard to understand because of the blood dripping down from his fangs. He is just angry because the President doesn’t shoot old men in the face. When he’s done he’ll sprout bat wings and fly away.”
Mathews; “How did you get to be Captain Cajones?”
Grayson; “I watch ‘Hardball’.
———
–Now that is journalistic integrity we can believe in. I understand that Mathews and Grayson are clowns, Grayson is the particular clown who on the house floor, accused Republicans of wanting a holocaust against old people.
–I understand they are being facetious, but since we aren’t worried about context of speech anymore, I expect you libs to cry foul, just as you do when anyone from the right is taken out of context.
Doc: I watched Cheney’s speech today, I guess it was only online last night. It struch me that our enemites, the terrorists who have sworn to wipe us off the face of the earth, were watching it. They had to tremble, watching this patriotic, impressive, brave, statesman. Then, the high fives and celebrations in their bunkers had to be unreal when they switched channels and watched the unaccomplished, inexperienced, stumbling, bumbling buffoon who is actually in charge of the free world. A classic line from In Harms Way can to mind, “How did we get so lucky.” I will bet the party is still going on.
Shtaven,
Ask and you shall…
O’Reilly falsely claimed Bush didn’t oppose 9-11 Commission. O’Reilly defended President George W. Bush from a Kerry-Edwards ‘04 TV ad highlighting Bush’s opposition to creation of the 9-11 Commission by denying that Bush had ever opposed the commission. In fact, Bush did oppose the creation of the 9-11 Commission. (10/21/04)
O’Reilly falsely claimed Iraq had ricin. O’Reilly responded to a caller to his radio show by defending the Iraq war: “They did have ricin up there in the north — so why are you discounting that so much?” In fact, the Duelfer report (the final report of the Iraqi Survey Group, led by Charles A. Duelfer, which conducted the search for weapons in Iraq following the U.S.-led invasion) indicates that Iraq did not have ricin. (10/19/04)
O’Reilly repeated discredited claims on Iraq-Al Qaeda link. O’Reilly interrupted a former Clinton administration official who tried to correct the record on O’Reilly’s claim that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi constitutes a direct link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. He also allowed a conservative guest to repeat without challenge other discredited claims about Iraq’s supposed involvement in terrorism — claims O’Reilly has himself cited in the past. (9/27/04)
O’Reilly fabricated “Paris Business Review” as source for success of French boycott. O’Reilly falsely claimed “they’ve lost billions of dollars in France according to ‘The Paris Business Review’” due to an American boycott he advocated of French imports. Media Matters for America found no evidence of a publication named “The Paris Business Review.” (4/27/04)
O’Reilly cited phony stats to argue that taxes on rich are excessive. O’Reilly tried to “blow off” the argument that wealthy Americans ought to pay more taxes by citing phony statistics about the tax burden the rich currently bear. (6/30/04)
O’Reilly confused on elementary economics. O’Reilly told a caller on his radio show, “We [the United States] have a trade deficit with everybody, because everybody wants our stuff, and we’re not wild about snails” — indicating that he doesn’t know the definition of “trade deficit” and implying that the United States runs a trade surplus with France. In fact, in the first four months of 2004, the United States had a $3 billion trade deficit with France. (6/10/04)
O’Reilly doctored quotation to suggest Soros wished his own father dead. During his smear campaign against progressive financier, philanthropist, and political activist George Soros, O’Reilly doctored a 1995 quotation by Soros to make it seem as if Soros wished his own father dead. (6/1/04)
O’Reilly questioned if Kennedy would show up to Democratic convention … as Kennedy spoke behind him. O’Reilly teased an upcoming segment of The O’Reilly Factor, broadcast live from the Democratic National Convention, by saying of convention speaker Senator Edward Kennedy: “When we come back, we’ll let you listen to Ted Kennedy for a while, if he shows up.” In fact, Kennedy had already shown up and had been speaking for several minutes, as O’Reilly need only have turned around to see. (7/27/04)
O’Reilly disparaged Democrats with trifecta of voter falsehoods. In a discussion about what went wrong for Democrats in the November 2 election, O’Reilly claimed that Democrats “lost votes from four years ago”; that “18- to 24[-year-old]s didn’t go” to the polls; and that “[c]ommitted Republicans didn’t carry the day for the president; independents did.” All three claims are false. (11/4/04)
O’Reilly on the radio: Three lies, one broadcast. Lie No. 1: Bush tax cuts didn’t create the budget deficit. Lie No. 2: “Socialistic” French, Germans, and Canadian governments tax at 80 percent. Lie No. 3: Canadian, British, and French media are “government-controlled,” but Italian media is free. (7/7/04)

O’Reilly Lies
j-load,
–Media matters is not a credible source for debunking anything.
–They are just puppets dancing on the strings of George Soros.
–Go sell your twaddle somewhere else, it is useless in this debate.
–Media matters is not a credible source for debunking anything.
.
And why is that?
Because all they do is use video and audio of capturing lies and misinformation from the right?
Or because Boss Limbaugh say “don’t believe your lying eyes”?
Doubtingthomas,
–The fear and loathing the leftists have for Cheney is palpable. Same with Rush, Beck, and anyone else who sees through their lies, including you and I.
My intuition tells me that this is just the beginning.
–ObaMao will over-reach and reveal himself to all who want to see before long. Only the few remaining die-hard useful-idiots will be left to wonder, how did it all go so wrong.
–It is good to have you back.
Bunk,
Just because you regurgitate Hannity/Limbaugh talking points about Media Matters not being credible (I’m just grinning at the hypocrisy of Hannity and Limbaugh saying that someone else isn’t credible.) doesn’t make it so.
