Some time ago, now Senator Al Franken<\/a> wrote a book called Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 I read the book, and found it to be a lousy read as petty, spiteful, and true.\u00a0 You may not agree with his politics or his style, but the one thing you can say about Senator Franken is that he has always valued the truth.\u00a0 On the other hand, I don’t know why anyone actually believes Fox News<\/a> at all.\u00a0 Because they and their chief liar Bill O’Reilly are at it again<\/a>!\u00a0 This time, it’s a railroad job against Senator Coburn, who had the audacity to call my Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, a nice lady, and who said, when talking abut the insane notion of putting people in prison for buying insurance, that \u201cThe intention is not to put anybody in jail. That makes for good TV news on FOX but that isn’t the intention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill O’Reilly can’t have that, so he claimed, \u201cWe researched on Fox News if anybody had ever said you’re going to jail if you don’t buy health insurance. Nobody’s ever said it.\u201d\u00a0 Guess what?\u00a0 The New York Times<\/a> did some investigating and found at least six instances where someone on Fox News\u00a0 did<\/strong><\/em> say it.<\/p>\n

When reporter at the New York Times was caught some months ago for plagiarizing, he was forced to resign and the entire newspaper was shamed.\u00a0 Not so for Fox when they just make stuff up, as apparently they have no shame!\u00a0 And so I think they deserve a new name: The Republican Liars Network (RCN).\u00a0 Not all Republicans are liars, and not all liars are Republicans, but those who choose to believe what they know to be lies, aren’t much better than the liars themselves, especially when they act on that information in the voting booth.<\/p>\n

All I can ask is please, Senator Franken, don’t update your book.\u00a0 There’s just too much material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
