Start your week off shaking your head in disbelief that people actually say this stuff, AND claim to be "fair and balanced" with a straight face! Quotes after the jump:

Bill O'Reilly threatening the Boulder CO School District, after grossly misrepresenting a sex ed program, 5/31/07
Option B. "The TB man story has me completely mesmerized. I've been doing this a few years and it seems every time a story pops up about somebody who has suddenly contracted some strange or incurable disease, it's somebody who is either from the Third World or was traveling through some godforsaken hellhole and somehow managed to contract ooga booga fever." John Gibson exhibiting his usual racial sensitivity, 5/31/07.

Option E. "And there's another odd twist to this. There's a whole lot of folks who are anti-capitalism, anti-American. When they see rich people go into an abyss, what they say is 'I told you. Money can't buy happiness. I told you. I told you.' So it sort of adds fuel to the fire for those folks who, really, for some reason, hate prosperity." - Charles Payne, discussing whether or not wealthy celebrities influence Americans' perceptions of themselves, Cavuto on Business, 6/2/07.
