At the risk of being repetitious, here's yet another example of Fox News playing fast and loose with reality.

"Pretty sad that a comedy show is more dedicated to truth in journalism than actual journalists ..."

This, in combination with several other recent news items (not the least of which is Sandra Guzman's lawsuit against the Fox-owned New York Post claiming the Post's stated goal is to destroy Obama's Presidency), seems to be yet another indicator that Fox News is a right-wing propaganda outlet with the stated goal of subverting our democratically elected President.

Pure malarkey.

Now if you were to come out and say someone like Greta or Shepard Smith were found to be lying, then I'd be concerned.

And although I find people like Hannity funny, he is not billed as a comedian, as Mahr is.

OTOH, when all the camera shots are from half a mile away, maybe from the top of a building, then you know that a whole lot of folks were there because the camera crew couldn't get any closer. Think the shots of Mahatma Gandhi and the several million folk rallies before independence.

And whats most fun, IMHO, is watching one of those close up shots, with some jerk shouting out to the masses, and then they pull away and you see that there's all of 20 folks there, not counting the dog sleeping in front of the podium. Tom Tancredo gave a soaring performance in this genre during the Denver Democratic Convention.

I thought both Michelle Bachmann and Coppertone® John B. were outstanding, btw, doing their part to show the tea party movement in all its glory.

I was interviewed last week by a newspaper reporter. In advance we agreed I would have the ability to proof read and edit prior to publication. That no last names would be used, nor the names of minors. That pricing would not be disclosed.

In the end, the "reporter" (junior high journalism major at most) didn't send me the article in advance, did print full names, including minors, and disclosed financial data not pertinent to the article. And NOT ONE quote was correct..NOT ONE in a two page write up.

This is the media now a days...as I asked the editory...why even bother with an interview if you're going to produce a fictional story?

Does anyone print the truth anymore or report it? I am beginning to wonder.

Bill, you keep saying no one pays attention to these guys. You are so wrong! I get to hear family members spouting their nonsense all the time. Sadly, they believe it.

Elly, you really think the show Mahr has on HBO is there because it's funny? He's no more comedic than Bill O'Reilly. he tries to get laughs every so often, but that's not what the show's all about.

I really enjoyed the second video. It cracks me up when we're called Obama worshipers, just because we voted for the guy. I'd say the two interviewees in line for Palin's book have some idol issues as well.

"We did not specifically purchase time on Glen Beck [sic], rather the Fox News Channel as a whole," said Dino Balzano, Director of Advertising and Merchandise at Concord Music Group, in email to ColorOfChange.org. "But, of course, if we consider this ‘news cluster’ purchase again in the future, we will only do so if we can be guaranteed to NOT be in that program."

"Pending further review, Eggland’s Best has suspended TV advertising on the Glenn Beck show," said Katy Gray, a spokesperson for Eggland’s Best, in an email to ColorOfChange.org.

"Equifax advertisements that appeared during the Glenn Beck Show were not specifically slated to air alongside the show and were purchased as part of a larger, rotational media buy on Fox Network," said Demitra L.

"The Seoul government has no plan to extend, resume, or add its commercial on the program," said Joan E. Bloom, a US spokesperson for the city of Seoul, in an email to ColorOfChange.org. "In other word [sic], there will not be Seoul commercial in the Glenn Beck program any more."

"Our advertising is no longer running on that program," said Vincent VanOss, Director of Advertising for Woodland Power Products, Inc., in a phone message for ColorOfChange.org.

There are plenty of savvy sponsors who are thrilled for the opportunity to step in and garner exposure from the enormous ratings that Fox provides.

I'll never know why he just doesn't come out an deny it. Where there's smoke, well.....

OMG!!!! Thanks david. Now that's some funny sh*t!

Considering I couldn't dredge up any real substantiating evidence, just innuendo, I'm assuming it's a joke. But a good one, nonetheless.

Why won't he deny the allegations? HAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!
