Lies and the Lying Liars . . . Fox News - Your One-stop Shop for all the Lies That are Fit to be Told

Fox News and it's All-Star lineup of repugnant right-wing goons is the gift that keeps on giving to Democrats and liberals.

There isn't a day that goes by where you can switch on the Fox News channel and not hear one of their low-brow, Murdoch piss bucket boy hacks spewing lies about their political and ideological opponents. Yes I said it - lying. I'm no longer going to use the words mislead or misleading to define what it is the freaks on Fox do for a living. It's lying -- telling lies -- and they do it a lot and they do it well.

Glenn Beck, the self anointed pied-piper of the tea-bagger brigades was on the air other night (video below) regaling (oops there I go again), ummm, lying his lying ass off about the Air Force One flyover photo op that scared the beejeesus out of some New Yorkers earlier this week. To hear Beck tell it, you'd think President Obama got bored sitting around the Oval Office twiddling his thumbs so he himself ordered up the flight and was personally at the cockpit controls, laughing maniacally, as the big plane lumbered past the Manhattan skyline escorted by a couple of Air Force fighter jets. I even waited with abated breath to hear Beck exclaim that Michael Moore and Sean Penn were in the passenger seats of the escorting F-16's for a Hollywood ride-along -- but I suppose even congenital liars like Beck employ a certain measure of constraint of their craft (lying) on occasion.

Ultimately though, and as I've noted in a multitude of previous blog posts, this video is just another volume in the ever growing library of documented proof of how Fox News employs lies and professional liars to advance and promote the conservative agenda. It's getting to the point where it's not even hip any more to highlight the constant stream of lies emanating from the Fox lie machine. I'm thoroughly convinced that the only people still being fooled by Murdoch and his minions are the 19% Bush lovers along with your average, gun waving, flag waving, bible thumping conservative rube, indistinguishable as they are.

Oh well, as painful as it is, I'll continue to watch Fox and document their atrocities against the truth. If anything to save those of you with weaker stomachs from having to endure the nausea inducing task yourselves.

**UPDATE: In this video not only does Glenn Beck have a major problem with the truth as it relates to the unfortunate Manhattan flyby incident, but he also re-peddles the previously debunked right-wing myth (er, lie) that Sarah Palin "winged" her Republican National Convention speech after her teleprompter broke in mid-speech. And with that my friends, I give you the classic definition of the term "congenital liar."
