Anymore it can be difficult to tell whether or not what you are seeing as news on your TV id true or not.  However, at times it can also be quite easy.  If it’s an ad that says they’re giving it away, you can be sure it’s a lie.  If it advertises a payday loan, you can be sure it’s a lie.  And if you’re watching Faux Noise, the Republican Ministry of Propaganda, you can be sure it’s a lie,  For example:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"FoxFandB\"Vanity Fair has a new piece about Fox News chief Jabba the Hut Roger Ailes, and it's as charming <\/font>as you might imagine.<\/a><\/p>\n

[Ailes' spokesman Brian] Lewis then read Ailes a summary of the flap over Democratic operative Hilary Rosen’s comment that Ann Romney, mother of five, had never worked a day in her life. Ailes spun it without hesitation. “Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life.<\/strong><\/span> He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that.<\/strong><\/span>”<\/font><\/p>\n

So Fox News' chief said the President is a lazy black man who lives off public money and loves to play basketball. Nothing at all racist about that characterization.<\/font><\/p>\n

For the record, Obama taught law at a private university and worked at a law firm, so Ailes is not only peddling racist garbage, he's peddling lies… [emphasis original<\/em>]<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, as worthless as Alies’ statements are, you have to give him credit for one thing.  He is not just a liar.  He is an expert<\/strong> liar.  Cenk Uygur discussed Ailes’ tactics.<\/font><\/p>\n
