| soulman | Posted – 10/1/2007 10:10:04 PM | show profile I've got a great idea for a ratings winning tv show for Cnn. Give Kiran Chetry a prime-time show, and the topic of her program every night could be to expose the lies of FOX News. She knows all of the inside stuff about that network, and can you imagine if she ever decides to talk?!! Kiran and Rick Sanchez worked so well together a few weeks ago, and I think they would be a great team on weeknights. They could go after O'Reilly together. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/1/2007 11:08:50 PM | show profile FOX is the big lie network known around the world for it's dishonest coverage. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/1/2007 11:29:17 PM | show profile It's the big lie newtwork! Just caught puking O'Reilly and the scuzz - Laura Ingrahm whining about the left - give me your left - your left - your left. Of, how the left hurt Clarence Thomas - oh that Anita Hill is a liberal - a Harvard type. Why don't these two prissy freaks take a nose dive into a wood chipper and make the world a better place. |
| soulman | Posted – 10/2/2007 12:55:00 AM | show profile FOX is just ong big lie, and don't you imagine that Chetry has been spilling her guts to Cnn about her whole experience there? She left the right wing Christian compound that is FOX News and went to Cnn, where the news is always fair and balanced. Cnn is smart to use Kiran as the anti-FOX, and it was great to see Jon Klein finally putting Kiran to good use last week when she got her first taste of revenge against her former employer by going after Billy O. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 10/2/2007 7:06:43 AM | show profile What are the lies of Fox News?Please list examples. Kiran and the lover Sanchez,can call any black person they disagree with a "happy nergo". Its ok to do that on CNN while talking about other people's racism. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 8:22:05 AM | show profile Let's stop playing the' we ain't never heard a Fox lie game..' - the whole point of FOX news is to lie and distort then spin..It doesn't take a crippled pigeon with an arrow through the skull to see this. It's a fact of media life. FOX only exists to spit hatred at a perceived enemy from the left - that's gimme a left, gimme yer left..There isn't a subject or a cause that benefits all mankind that FOX doesn't sully. It's about propping up the corpses of old rich blood sucking industrialists and the vampire military complex. Gimme a left - gimme a left.. Let's drop by Dick Cheney's tonight for a bowl of brains and stool. Halloween's only a few weeks away. |

| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 9:04:08 AM | show profile Lobo - I posted a page of lies and distortions a few weeks back and you just blew by them. To keep asking for what you don't want is suicidal. I don't want you to take resident board genius and parrot Olby down with you. Try watching FOX objectively. It's truly painful unless you live in eternal denial and that's what you want to hear. Soulman is correct - CNN is pretty tame and lays it out without much color. There are times I wish they'd go for the jugular but that's not their style. Over at FOX they seem to always have their hands around some perceived left wing enemy. Gimme yer left - yer left - hup, two, three, four.. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 9:23:37 AM | show profile post one truth.. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 10/2/2007 9:56:35 AM | show profile It's a shame someone so smart can't come up with one lie. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 10:06:52 AM | show profile I gave you a full page - now give me one truth.. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 10:15:31 AM | show profile 1) 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) 2) 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) 3) 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) 4) 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) 5) 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) 6) 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) 7) 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) 8) 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) 9) 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) 10) 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) |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 10:31:42 AM | show profile Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute dear Frankie! O'Reilly presents himself as the "explainer' of the issues to his tooth impaired audience. This was just a few lies from the big liar himself - don't ask me to spend the next month collecting the mountain chain of FOX news lies for a board hound in denial. By the way, I like your parrot..what do you call him - Olby. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 10/2/2007 10:33:03 AM | show profile crimedog-- you should add war profiteer when talking about soros. Still waiting on one example of the many lies Fox News tells. |
| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 10/2/2007 10:36:09 AM | show profile "don't ask me to spend the next month collecting the mountain chain of FOX news lies " crimedog Than it shouldn't take you a min to find one example, just one, that Fox News lies. |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 11:02:45 AM | show profile 'explaination of the issues" is NOT reporting of facts. Therefore - no "lies"' Oh, now we hit a grey area with you? If you twist a fact into a lie then you're absolved of the crime. This is truly sad thinking my friend. This is what FOX news is all about. Can't you see why few take them seriously only those held under that bewitching spell like you and the parrot. This is why Democrats have stayed away from debates. You have to admit that was a glorious move. No pain - plenty gain! |
| slamp | Posted – 10/2/2007 12:23:16 PM | show profile Frank & Olby, you two are so in-love with Foxy, that you can't see any fault. If you can't see it does'nt mean it's not there. Did you two know that your psycho icon O'Reilly used a statement indirectly made by a Dailykos blogger on his show that was faulse and he (O'Reilly) later apologized, a few weeks ago? One thing that I have noticed is that the O'rEILLY KITTENS will agree that no one has complained about Keith Olbermann lying about anything. O'Reilly lies, talk over, stalk and make up stories about people. when you do the same thing to him, he calls it SMEARING |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 1:50:31 PM | show profile Why does the opinionater choose to lie while injecting pounds of venom? |
| michelleaketring | Posted – 10/2/2007 2:33:08 PM | show profile soulman is probably rick sanchez and crimedog is probably nancy grace |
| jazzy | Posted – 10/2/2007 2:33:17 PM | show profile BACK to the original post on Kiran Chetry exposing lies.... well dang isn't that like calling the kettle black? I mean this is the little twit who tried a power play for Gretchen Carlson's job and promptly found herself plopped out on her arse. frankly i don't think Kiran Chetry adds much of anything to CNN or Fox. John Roberts so outmatches her in talent and experience. |
| michelleaketring | Posted – 10/2/2007 2:49:00 PM | show profile poor poor liberals-you cant lose as liberally as you speak-in 2004 George Bush won by more votes-though the polls and cnn-msnbc had him slacking just as Fox News wins in viewers as cnn and msnbc are lacking |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 3:57:33 PM | show profile soulman is probably rick sanchez and crimedog is probably nancy grace.. I am Nancy Grace... do I have a scoop for you... 45 year old mother of two gives birth to an elk twice the size of her dining room table .. strangles it with a lamp cord and buries in youngest son's crib under a pile of three day own shit. She gets three weeks in rehab and a carton of Kents .. man am I pissed - tune in tonight! |
| Iron Eagle | Posted – 10/2/2007 4:27:22 PM | show profile Nancy Grace - yeah baby! |
| soulman | Posted – 10/2/2007 5:16:05 PM | show profile It's a shame Cnn didn't let Kiran co-anchor with Sanchez the night he was tearing into O'Reilly. I think she's a tough cookie, and that was pretty much proven when she demanded that Gretchen be fired. What a brazen move! And the thing is, she has made it work for her. So what if she got tossed out on her rear end? She has something much better now, and that's a real job at a real news channel. One that is unbiased and tells the truth. I'm sure Kiran knows all about Fox and their tactics. She could probably write a book on it all and sell a bazillion copies! |
| jazzy | Posted – 10/2/2007 6:14:35 PM | show profile BRAZEN? she was canned. fired. thrown out on her arse. remind me to never be BRAZEN. ;) now she is watched by only 1/3 of the audience she had before and most of those think she snivels but whatever. |
