Liar

by Lee Stranahan

CNN’s Rick Sanchez comes correct against Bill O’Reilly — this is what needs to be done with him, I think. The MSM needs to call him on lies…although not just when he lies about CNN.

UPDATE : Caught O’Reilly on Sirius Radio tonight – he was forced to issue a correction, which he described as ‘rare’. He refused to call Rick Sanchez by name and also said that he meant to say ‘in primetime’,..which means, what? Larry King didn’t cover it? But this is why calling him out is good; force the retractions.

[Editor note: This is definitely how Bill O'Reilly should be handled. Olbermann has been doing this for years. -Bob]

    I applaud Sanchez and CNN for calling O’Reilly out on his lying, but will it really do any good? I mean, the people who watch O’Reilly aren’t going to be watching CNN anyway, and the people who watch CNN probably have enough sense not to believe much of anything O’Reilly says to begin with. Sanchez needs to go on the O’Reilly Spin Zone Show and or have O’Reilly come on his show. It still might not do any good but at least you have a chance at cross-pollinating the audiences.

    I think it makes a difference. Anyone trying to convince someone they should not be watching Fox News can share clips like this one.

    This is all apart of the plan to demonize African-American Muslims in the first place. As this story goes national, as well it should, we’ve got an elaborate web of intrigue developing in the form of an abortion doctor’s assassination is swept under the rug. This man who shot the late Dr. Tiller had connections to individuals that O’Lielly exalted on his program. How very convenient.It is all very similar to the story of the young man that shot three police officers to death out of fear that his guns would be taken away. This boy posted videos of Glenn Speck’s program on the Web in order to promote his ideology. In that case, they’d found the story of an Asian man that shoot up a nursing home to be more important. Both were tragedies that were worthy of reflection, yet I noticed that a week after both incidents took place, it was the story of the Asian that garnered more analysis.These are strange times we are living in, where the media is complicit in elaborate cover-ups.Anyway, I can give credit where credit is due. Not that I wasn’t already aware that O’Lielly is a fraud merchant and a coward.

    Breaking News: BIll O’Reilly Opens Mouth and Is Wrong Again.I will guarantee you that if you go back through the archives, Bil O’Reilly will be factually wrong at least 75% of the time. Just on facts. And that’s just an educated guess and a conservative estimate.

    The problem is, if the covered every time Bill-O the Clown lied, they wouldn’t have time to cover the real news. You know, the stuff that they cover now but Bill-O the Clown says they don’t.

    Lee is right on here. This puto needs to be called out whenever he lies… daily perhaps.But we need to acknowledge that this “calling out” is just good, smart, cherry-picking for the minds of Fox viewers that might actually watch a news channel on occasion.Fox pisses me off more than the Bush administration. Really.

    I agree it needs to be done, however as the mother of a rabid Fox viewer I can tell you it does no good to point it out to them that they lie and distort facts, even with the video to back you up.It is just the liberal media distorting the facts and editing the video to make it look like he lied. That’s the answer I get.Just like Hannity and his lie about Pres. Obama saying the US was a Muslim country, I tried to point out that was a lie, and what the President really said, showed her the actual quote, the real video and she still said Hannity was telling the truth and the other video was a lie.So, sometimes it is just beating a dead horse… I have been doing it for the last 8 years since Bush was elected the first time and 9-11 and trust me I have fought with my daughter over that many many times.

    I’ll take it anyway I can get it. The more people that call out O’Reilly, the better. Besides, O’Reilly doesn’t have big enough balls to invite Sanchez, or any other semi-decent, fact-checking journalist on his show. And I suppose that’s what this is all about…Bill O’Reilly compensating for his tiny balls. Rush, Glenn, and Mann Coulter too. Maybe if we all just got a pool together to get them some testicular enlargements we could end all this wingnutty hackery.

    @ AnnetteI do not know how old your daughter is but please do not give up….. or know way too much. People get a mindset and do not want to be wrong…. especially where parents are concerned.I have a daughter with the same attitude toward the shittiest channel that ever hit the TV. She is being brainwashed by her church. I will be patient here. She is very smart. She will figure it out.

    Time to call a truce on politics. Just make a deal to not discuss it for… say… one year.You will prevail. Truth has a way of sorting stuff like this out.

    Who wants to bet O’Reilly will immediately blame the far-left conspiracy once he gets a wind of this?

    Yea, it’s true this won’t make a difference to people who watch BO already. But it sure does pump up those who already dislike (maybe a weak word) him and it at least shows to the public that CNN isn’t willing to get pushed around by a liar.

    @ AnnetteI just returned from a party here in Mexico. I guess I sorta feel what is happening in your situation. Wrong word there… “life”.This is obviously the wrong forum for this kind of stuff… yet I think you should keep on. Did you try the moratorium on political talk?If this comment seems a little disjointed it may be because a lot of people here in Mexico smoke Marrawanna.Some smoke drifted my way tonight and may have affected my comments. I sure hope not.Love you.Hielo in Mexico.

    Annette:I agree with you that most habitual viewers of Fox News wouldn’t believe BO was wrong about something regardless how much video was presented to make the case.To them, all other network channels, and the entire internet, are under the evil subversive control of “liberals” who are bent on destroying America and proving Bill O’Reilly a liar, not necessarily in that order.It’s the greatest scam ever pulled on the American public – the ongoing saga of “the left-wing media” being promoted by all the right-wing talking heads. When the reality is that people on the left usually can’t get a word in edgewise in our totally rightward-biased media.Maybe the folks att CNN finally started noticing some slipping in their ratings and decided to take steps to shore up their credentials. Although I suspect it’s more likely just to generate controversy. The media thrives on that these days, because it’s so much easier than real reporting.
