So you advocate posting lies?

My posting to which this is a reply was about posting false reports, not lying reports.

However, if a lying report appears in as prominent a place as Limbaugh's Web site, then yes, I do advocate posting it. I can't think of a quicker method of refuting a lie. Mind you, I am certainly not accusing Limbaugh of lying in this case. If his report is false, I think his mistake was almost certainly an honest one.

I agree with you that posting something like this is good! It allows the TRUTH to see the light of day.

Fox News Channels will probably be more careful in the future about a news story that is written, posted, and then found to be erroneous because the reporter didn't bother to check out the facts! That is bad journalism!

To mix up a Quorum Call vote with an historic cloture vote to end a filibuster of an Appeals Court Judge is not something I would expect a veteran reporter would do. BTW, I am still waiting for Fox News Channel to reply to my email and tell me that their story was wrong!

lol

after almost 5 hours after they called his show Rush still put up his story... does Rush know something?

Have you seen Fox say their story was false anywhere I am looking but can't find it. If you do please post the link..

:>)

bottom line is they (GOP) called Rush ONLY after he was steaming about it on his show. My bottom line opinion of course.


HERE AND LINKED AT HIS SITE IS RUSH STEAMING ABOUT IT...BEST PART IS IT WILL BE UP AT HIS SITE UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT
