Smearing On

Malkin and Fox News continues the Ron Paul disinformation and guilt by association tactic. In this earlier clip, I missed the fact that John Gibson actually said that Paul suggested in the debate that the United States "actually had a hand" in the 9/11 attacks. Gibson watched th debate so he knows this is a lie, and yet he broadcast it as truth. Why is he not fired? How different is his assertion of a lie in the face of direct evidence to the contrary any different than Dan Rather's lies about George W. Bush's National Guard service? Until recently, my view has been that the Democrats were foolish to boycott FNC. I think you should go on any media channel to make your case, as Hitch did recently to great effect. Now, I'm not so sure. When a news channel has sunk to these depths of deliberate disinformation, they are no longer a news channel.
