Palin to O’Reilly: Coulda Answered “Bush Doctrine” Question With “More Context,” Katie Couric’s “What Do You Read” Question was “Gotcha” and “Annoying”
On last night’s (11/19/09) O’Reilly Factor, it was the moment we’ve all been waiting for, folks – Sarah Palin was on The Factor to tell us all about how the “gotcha,” “lamestream” media engaged in tactics and asked trip-'em-up questions (you know, like, “What do you read?”) that were “annoying” or asked her questions that “she probably could have answered” with the proper Cliff notes, uh, “a bit more context.” To hear her tell it, she would have done brilliantly if it weren't for the "badgering" questions. There was one person, however, that she absolutely, totally, (almost) completely absolved of responsibility for her dismal failure in the election and her downright moronic responses in the interviews: Sarah Palin. Stay tuned, folks . . . there's a Part II to come! With video.

More Fake Video From Fox News: Old Palin Campaign Footage Used To Show "Huge Crowds" At Her Book Tour
Hot on the heels of Hannity caught using 9/12 protest video as video of the crowd at Michele Bachmann's (much smaller) health care rally, comes Greg Jarrett using 2008 campaign footage while claiming that Sarah Palin is getting "huge crowds" at her book tour appearances. As Think Progress noted, the McCain/Palin posters were a bit of a giveaway. Video after the jump.
11/19/09 UPDATE: Fox News apologized today.

Hannity And Fox News Still Obsessed With Rev. Jeremiah Wright
I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Rev. Jeremiah Wright is African American but Fox News’ obsession with him has gone over the top. Even if you think the guy is a radical extremist whatever, Wright is a former Marine and Navy corpsman who attended President Johnson as a cardiopulmonary technician. And yet Wright, who has committed no crime (or you could be sure Fox News would trumpet it 24/7) other than to espouse a political philosophy Fox News finds distasteful, has been turned into the 21st Century Willie Horton – and by a bunch of self-styled patriots who who never served their country when they had the chance. With video.

O’Reilly Wants Gov. Pawlenty To Investigate Whether ACORN Stole Election For Franken
On Thursday’s O’Reilly Factor (10/1/09), guest Laura Ingraham baselessly suggested that ACORN had helped steal the Minnesota Senate election for Al Franken. She had absolutely no evidence that it had happened. In fact, Norm Coleman, Franken’s opponent, who had challenged the vote count, specifically told the Minnesota Supreme Court he was not making any allegations of voter fraud. Nevertheless, O’Reilly said he was going to contact Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and ask him to investigate. With video.

Misleading Fox Nation Headline Regarding Al Franken Win And ACORN
I know that Mitt Romney is a fan of Fox Nation. But I do wonder what he would say if he knew about the type of slanderous headlines that are given to articles which don’t support the headline – kinda like if there was a headline that said “Mitt Romney Defends Sister Wives” with an article in which Romney said he liked “Big Love.” Anyway, today’s Fox Nation has this: “New Questions About ACORN’s Role In Franken’s Victory.” The linked article, by conservative Katherine Kersten, was an excoriation of ACORN. But while she did report that ACORN and Senator Al Franken praised each other, she clearly added: “I'm not suggesting that Franken had any association with the folks behind ACORN's recent scandal. Indeed, when the Senate voted to defund ACORN, he got religion and joined the pack.” She even stated that "here in Minnesota, where the organization has so far been able to keep its nose relatively clean..." So nothing to see here, move on. But that doesn’t stop the uber partisan Fox Nation from attempting to taint Al Franken’s court approved victory. Does Fox Nation know that Senator John McCain, in 2006, said that the people of ACORN "are what makes America special." Does that mean that there are questions surrounding his run for the presidency. Hmmmm??? It’s a complex world but you wouldn’t know it by reading Fox Nation which has all you need to know in their headlines!
