If lax fact-checking was sufficient to get Rather et al booted from CBS,
why are not the CONSTANT lies, misrepresentations, and general factual unencumbrance not sufficient to get Scarborough, Hannity, O'Lielley, the Faux 'news' anchor who repeated the lies about the "Nobel-Peace-Prize-in-Medicine-nominated-Doctor" ???
Why are we not embarking on a major campaign to make the PENALTY for such egregious propaganda 'fair and balanced?'
The four aforementioned at the very least should lose their jobs for the last 48 hours-worth of lies alone.
Anyone with me? Or have I missed an earlier Call To Action??

2. But..but...Der Gropenfurher said, at the RNC, that "If you believe in a
government ACCOUNTABLE TO ITS PEOPLE, rather than people accountable to the government, you are a Republican."
Was he LYING?????

3. Only two guesses allowed, but you can't believe everything a RWer
says.

4. The excuse is that they are opinion shows rather than news reports.
The problem, of course, is that Hannity et al lead people to believe that the information bandied about is factual.
