Burns: Fox "propaganda" machine made "a deliberate and intentional decision" to lie about health insurance jail time

Well, duh. I'm just glad this well-known fact is finally making its way onto real television. Now, if we could just get it on 60 Minutes...

The Lexington Herald-Leader hit McConnell in an article today. The article discussed McConnell's use of the Luntz talking points, and his meetings with members of the financial industry.

I was so glad to see this issue addressed on McConnell's own turf so that the people of Kentucky can see how their senator isn't interested in representing them but in representing the interests of the financiers.

is MMFA going to acknowledge that those quotes were taken from the part of the health care debate when jail time was in fact on the table?

If I had the cash to take off work, I'd be the FIRST to want to "infiltrate" Fox. Though it may take months or years to get to where I'd need to be, I think that as little as a year there would serve to crack open some pretty amazing "behind the scenes" scheming.

I just have a hard time believing that Fox executives would have no clue about their pundits' involvement with the teabaggers or their constant peddling of absolute lies that seem to sprout from conservative bloggers...

Fox has been pretty extreme lately, and this leads me to believe they've also become lax in their concealment of purposeful wrongdoing....

It seems they've abandoned basically all forms of classic journalism and have decided to report stories STRAIGHT from conservative media on the web and have even taken to reporting blogs as "news."

I'd like to know what their guidelines or standards are for researching, editing, and producing a story or report before coming to air.

I think with Schultz attacking O'Reilly so much lately, it might rile up Bill to start another feud (like with Olbermann) because he's getting called out like this. The funny thing is Ed has seemed pretty chummy with Bill in the past... he was on his show back in 2007, I believe, when they were discussing the homeless veterans that Bill denied existed. And, now, Ed rails against him. I like it... I think Ed's a great host and really goes after people the right way on the facts, just like Olbermann and Maddow.

the mainstream media need to shake off their fear of the 'liberal bias' tag and expose Fox News for what it is. i know reporters and news outlets have an unwritten law about going after the competition like that, but they need to. how can they just sit back and let Fox mislead America like you know they know they do?

11 slips of the tongue? I think not! Especially something that wasn't even based in reality at any point and time.

If you don't buy health insurance, you will be fined. If you don't pay that fine, you will be jailed. So you can go to jail for not buying health insurance.

Poor Eric Burns. He just can get over being spurned by Fox, and now has to cry "misinformation" every time they acknowledge an ugly truth about this Healthcare abomination.

He takes issue with their bias, but tell me, was Eric ever truly objective in his journalism and commentary? Is he capable of being objective?

MMFA either feels that the electorate at large is either too stupid to discern media bias for themselves, or is simply scared that the culture war is not going their way.

get rid of soft rachel maddow - Ed has passion and gets me fired up....
