What – was Janeane Garofalo busy this week? If not, she has some real competition in the "lefty comic making outrageous statements" category.
On HBO’s Oct. 1 “Real Time with Bill Maher,” during the “Overtime” segment available on HBO.com, left-wing comedian David Cross of “Arrested Development” fame appeared to offer his view on issues of the day. This segment of the program is produced generally to answer viewer emailed questions. One of those questions was if people in the media “should be held more legally accountable for presenting false or misleading information.”
The host, Bill Maher likened that scenario to the system in place in the United Kingdom. However in the United States, Americans are protected by the First Amendment and he explained the legal implications of speech in the U.K. compared to the U.S. But in Cross’ estimation, that protected right is somehow wrong. He named two Fox News Channel hosts, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, and declared he would like to see them taken off of the airwaves although he wasn’t clear about what “false or misleading information” they may have presented that would warrant this action.

Yo Davbot
Turn the channel.
And for your info the BBC is as leftist as it can get, they air untruths all the time.
>>>>Poor David. Hannity is on his mind.
Hannity lives rent free in the minds of imbeciles like David.

Typo alert, they used the term “comic” now thats funny!
I know who O’Reilly and Hannity are. They hold some of the highest ratings on TV and radio and sell a lot of books. Who the hell is David Cross? Some liberal celebrity wannabe?
I would never demand that some leftist tv personality be taken off the air. Of course, I don’t have to. The marketplace usually does that for me.
Never heard of David Cross before.
David Cross suffers from short, bald man syndrome.
WHO?
Before she died she was an advocate for animal rights and the green movement. Go figure.
These liberal loons would not recognize a fact if it hit them in the face. As far as reporting untruths goes, I seem to recall that Dan Rather, darling of the liberal elite, presented clearly false, forged documents to support his allegations that W’s TANG boss wanted to court martial him. Then there was the matter of a certain former CIA officer who was “outed” by “journalist” Robert Novak, but the Democrats and their allies in the press tried to pin the rap on VP Cheney and his aide Scooter Libby. The fact of the matter was that Valerie Plame, the CIA agent, no longer qualified as a covert agent and had in fact let all of her friends and neighbors know that she worked for the CIA.

Lefty comic??? Every Lefty is comical for what they say, do, and stand for. You have to laugh at them!
This is not an isolated conversation. Liberals desperately want oppression of conservative speech. I listen to Randi Rhodes. She literally spends the majority of her airtime complaining about the very existence of conservative media.
Who is David Cross and had anyone heard of him before he said this?
And I’d like to see Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives shows off the air. But I don’t think either is going away anytime soon.
We’re all entitled to our opinions but the market decides. Even though I’m obviously correct.
