Maher: 'We've Lost 500,000 Public Sector Jobs' Under Obama and 'Added
In this week's "Is He Really This Stupid or Just a Bald-Faced Liar" segment, HBO's Bill Maher Friday night once again proved that he is either one of the dumbest people on television or is way too dishonest to have his own show.
On the most recent installment of Real Time, the host emphatically claimed, "We've lost 500,000 public sector jobs since Obama took office and added 3.7 million…
M-BS-NBC: Martin Bashir Falsely Claims Obama Created 3 Million Private
It certainly is no surprise the Obama-loving media are doing a jubilant victory lap over the stronger than expected headline figures in Friday's unemployment report.

AP Lets Obama's Untrue Critique of Romney As 'Willing to Let (Auto) In
On Tuesday, Ken Thomas of the Associated Press covered President Barack Obama's appearance at the Washington Auto Show and allowed Obama's criticism of Mitt Romney as being among those "willing to let this industry die" to stand, ignoring known history in the process.

MSNBC's Roberts: Indiana's New Right-to-Work Statute a Blow to 'Union
MSNBC's Thomas Roberts isn't even trying anymore to be an objective journalist.
Yesterday's passage of a right-to-work bill in Indiana was a measure "stripping the state of union rights," Roberts insisted during the 11 a.m. Eastern hour of MSNBC programming. "That makes Indiana not just the 23rd union-busting state, but the first new right-to-work state in ten years," the anchor noted as he…

Oh joy.
Today at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, in response to the Congressional Budget Office's release today of an awful 10-year baseline outlook, Andrew Taylor made sure that his first paragraph was only about the projected "dip" in the fiscal 2012 deficit, and dedicated his second paragraph to the bad things that will happen if "the Bush tax cuts" are extended and…
CNN's Soledad O'Brien Falsely Labels Bush as 'Food Stamp President
On Tuesday, for the second time in two weeks, CNN's Soledad O'Brien insisted that President Bush, not President Obama, is the "food stamp president" – even though data show her argument is ridiculous.
On January 19, O'Brien had opened up that "it was George Bush who was the food stamp president." Then on Tuesday, she stated that Bush oversaw a greater percent increase of food stamp…
Scott Pelley's Obvious A.M. Error: Claims Florida's First High-Unemplo

On Saturday morning, CNN's Josh Levs reported that "we have analysts telling us to get ready for national average around $4.25. That's spring. Summer, that's when it could go higher, $5 could happen in some cities."
What might high gas prices mean for the 2012 campaign? Or how might the…
Maher: Romney 'Only Paid 11% In Taxes,' Clinton Tax Hike 'Turned Aroun
The ignorance of HBO's Bill Maher was oozing from every nook and cranny of his being Friday night.

How many times have you watched a political talk show and just couldn't imagine the nonsense coming out of some liberal pundit's mouth?
