Check the claims made by the left
Blatant falsehoods attributed to popular political commentators Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck in Fence Post's recent letter by Mr. Williams (“Rich have only gotten richer”) illustrate the lengths some left-leaning individuals are willing to go to in order to manipulate the apolitical or uninformed. Only crackpots on street comers falsely label our president a Nazi.
A real dialogue debating the differences of modem progressivism versus conservatism isn't sought by these individuals. No amount of video footage or verbatim audiotape transcripts will dissuade an already entrenched ideologue. So their purpose in presenting lies as part of their argument to persuade others to their way of thinking becomes clear. Their intention is to discredit or demonize a credible purveyor of opposing views.
Disinformation abounds. Anyone can write anything. You must fact check and verify for yourselves. Such a wide-reaching, blanket attack on the highly rated Fox News network by so many is evidence Fox is doing something right (no pun intended).
