      What's even more sad is that they took already debunked talking-point and tacked on even more lies.  With this level of pure and utter lying, FNC should not be allowed to exist,

      If my face were facepalmed any more from Fox "News" segments, I'd be talking out of my chin. 

      You stay classy, Fox.

      This has got to be the hottest MediaMatters post ever.  Who knew I was missing so much free titillation by avoiding Fox News?

        Honestly.

         

         

        ... although, it seems like it's the liberals who are being Puritanical instead of the conservatives. I was told that liberals liked this sort of thing.

          I take it you've never heard the song "It Says Here" by Billy Bragg.

          Why is it that conservatives are seeming more and more confused these days? So you think that puritanism is the reason that people find a news program to be an inappropriate venue for pictures of scantily clad women?

      and if the railroad/direct line form Disneyland to Vegas doesn't happen. I demand an on-air apology from every network anchor that decided to make this non-issue and issue.

      ARRGH! Moonlight Bunny Ranch is near Reno, Nevada, about 450 miles away from Las Vegas.

      This shows how much these guys can lie.

       

      The closest brothel near Las Vegas is the Chicken Ranch at Pahrump about 60 miles to the west.

      The rail route from Barstow will take a northeast route and will not stop at Pahrump.

        The lie is even more ridiculous than that. From Thinkprogress.org:

        "Reid’s office confirmed that Franks is referring to a proposal to refurbish an historic railway line between Gold Hill, NV, and Carson City..."

        Did they move Disneyland to Nevada?

      I was so repulsed (after all this time, I can't imagine how) by Franks' appearence that I immediately got on the phone and called his office, then emailed him.  I am newly amazed each time by the depths of depravity that the Republican Party/Fox News is willing to slink to try and make a point.  Will it never end?
