Fox at it again, thanks Jon Stewart

Did everyone get that?! It wasn't a "sinister lie", it was an "unfortunate exaggeration".

I've been counseling 13 year olds for the past several months, and I swear this sounds like the same kind of "logic" they try, when they are just plain wrong.

That is an opinion which you have backed only with one single sentence by Hannity.

I'm not those kids. I'm not responsible for or associated with those kids. I absolutely agree that Hannity's statement was a lie, but that to what extent it represents sinister plotting and to what extent it represents Hannity getting carried away with his own rhetoric is unclear. Unless you can prove that it indicates sinister plotting in the shadows, then stop pretending you know what was in his mind.

Wooo! Yeah, I know! Someone would have to be a mindreader or something to impute to Sean Hannity the tendency or motivation to lie in the pursuit of smearing Obama!! I mean, just look at him! Hannity has never given anyone a hint of a reason to suggest that he'd lie to attack Obama! After all, he's so frikkin' fair and balanced and did I mention fair?!? And balanced?!?

You only think he's unfair because you don't agree with them. When we look at your shows, we can find **** like this too. Grow up.

Grow up.

In the old-fashioned, southern traditional sense, God Bless you Brandon.

My position is that we can analyze your liberal shows and find cases of people saying things that aren't true too.

Do you really think growing up is accepting all the slant that passess for news??? I think the freedom of the press is our right, and I think those are our airwaves they are broadcasting that garbage on, and if they cannot all tell the truth, really inform us without propaganda then, they do not have the right and should find some other way to waste their lives than by wasting our time...We have a right to the truth, to the facts... We will never be a democracy so long as those clowns have access to the facts, but give us bullshit, and we have no choice but to take it...When anyone tells a lie they do an absolute inury to people, and when those bastards with rights we defend for them undercut our freedom with trash talk and abuse they are injuring this whole nation and need to be tried and executed...

All you have really demonstrated is Hannity exaggerating in one sentence.

So what? That's a tu quoque fallacy. The subject of the thread is Fox News, and allegations that their employees have lied on the air. If yo want to whine and pee your pants about "liberal" broadcasters, start your own thread.

Oh.. we've gone from Hannity lied to this?

You haven't proven widespread lying by Fox news here.

All you have really demonstrated is Hannity exaggerating in one sentence. We can find liberal commentators doing that on your shows too. You have yet to provide proof of any case of widespread distortion of the truth by Fox. And, no, I don't agree with you that people should be executed for espousing views I don't agree with on TV, or even for lying.

No, not here, but it has definitely been proven in other places.

Like, for example, here.

You won't even admit this is a lie Brandon, when he is explaining what Obama supposedly said.
