Fox News: Bill O’Reilly To Correct Glenn Beck’s Trump-Misinformation
Breitbart ^ | 1/18/2016 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 01/18/2016 5:00:13 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Friday on Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor," Glenn Beck spread the false information that Donald Trump voted for Barack Obama in 2008. To back his erroneous claim, Beck cited a fake photoshopped tweet from faketrumptweet.com. Responding to an inquiry from Breitbart News Monday, we were informed by a Fox News source that the record will be corrected on Monday night's "O'Reilly Factor."

Beck will not be a guest, we were told, but a segment will cover Beck's error and by extension inform "O'Reilly Factor" viewers of the truth.

After Trump slammed Beck for falling for the fake tweet, Beck doubled down Saturday with a tweet taunting Trump, "Why do you keep saying things like you didn't vote for @BarackObama ?... just admit it @realDonaldTrump.

Later Saturday night, after apparently figuring out he'd been duped, Beck finally took to his Facebook account to apologize for spreading the misinformation.

On Monday, Beck returned to Facebook to argue that while he did fall for a fake tweet, he still believes Trump voted for Obama in 2008. This, despite the fact Trump publicly endorsed Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

Beck has jumped the shark. I wonder if he’s hitting the suds again.

There was a FReeper spreading the misinformation. Perhaps I’ll repost and ping the scoundrel.

Beck must be trying to get a job at CBS with that ‘Fake But Accurate’ defense.

Lets see whether Rush will apologize, because he used his caller to promote it.

You are right about that.

Beck’s business is collapsing. Good riddance to him.

Bill protects Beck. Mark Levin protects Cruz. Strange times.

Beck will be participating in Cruz rally Saturday night. Who will protect them both after that.

Does anyone know for whom Trump voted? Beck can’t know. Even though he was a registered Democrat (2001-2009) at the time, no one but Trump knows...

And many FR Cruznadians still believe the photoshopped tweet. They adopt the Dan Ratherism that it is fake but accurate!

"I've got this information, I swear it is accurate, it comes from FAKEnews.com." I'll have some of what he's having.

If Cruz were half as smart as he thinks he is he would disassociate himself from Beck.

TEDdy bears and tears. It may be a great revival, snake handling, who knows. Might get some to go vote.

I see what you did there. : ) (Nicely done - I haven’t watched O’Reilly in 4 years but I am aware of all of his books - my wife has a couple of them but I haven’t read any)
