Hannity Referred to Michel Moore as a "Propagandist"

[CO Liberal]

This from one of the biggest propagandists for the dark side...

[tom_paine]

1. Like a Nazi shrieking "Jewish Propaganda" when their Nazi Activities are

exposed.

These kinds of people don't change much, do they?

[k in IA]

2. Your headline gave me a good laugh. Pot meet Kettle.

[Tweed]

3. Beat me to it

[Melodybe]

14. More like Pot meet snowball.

[Cat Atomic]

4. Brit Hume thinks Kerry looks "too sad", too.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

5. So has O'Reillykins.

Irony pervades these clowns. Clearly they have no sense of self-criticism.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. He is...

and he admits he is.

We just like his propaganda more than the other side's.

[Caution]

7. Pot...I'd like you to meet Kettle. Kettle, this is Pot.

[havocmom]

8. So, so sad the health insurance does not cover mental health care well.

Hannity could sure use a course of therapy. That projection problem he has is getting the best of him. So, so sad he can't get the help he needs :shrug:

[noise626]

13. or, as my beloved mom says:

"that boy needs to get his assed whupped"


Of course, that's her solution to most problems. But in Insannity's case, a good whupping would be beneficial.

9. Well . . . . yeah . . . so what's your point, Sean?

Was there a point hiding in there somewhere?

[RUSTY SHACKLEFORD]

10. Propagandist? Hannity is NOT a propagandist!!

He's just a bold-faced liar.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

11. Hannity is also officially a propagandist, as far as the..

..English meaning of the word goes.

From Webster's Dictionary:

propagandist

\Prop`a*gan"dist\, n. A person who devotes himself to the spread of any system of principles. ``Political propagandists.'' --Walsh.

12. There's really nothing wrong with propaganda per se...

Propaganda is just a one-sided argument, like a lawyer's brief, an op-ed article, or a TV commercial.

However, there's a huge difference between honest propaganda and dishonest propaganda. Today on the Franken show, Paul Krugman inadvertently outlined the difference while distinguishing between the op-ed column he writes for the New York Times and what Bill O'LIElly does on TV. Krugman is required by the Times to back up his arguments with verifiable facts, while O'LIElly can get away with pulling "facts" out of his butt. (Of course Krugman described it more diplomatically.)

In other words, in honest propaganda the facts you use to back up your one-sided argument have to be true and should not be exaggerations, misrepresentations and/or distortions. "Fahrenheit 911" was fact-checked closely before its release, just as Krugman's columns are, while Limbaugh, Hannity, O'LIElly constantly use wild exaggerations and misrepresentations, gross distortions, as well as outright lies in their dishonest propaganda.

One further point: "Outfoxed" demonstrates how Fox "News" blurs the line between news and commentary so that what you often have in, say, Brit Hume's program or their morning show is propaganda masquerading as news. This too is dishonest, even if the facts are correct and not distorted. It's like an infomercial that's not clearly labeled as such.

15. So have all the Faux News chuckleheads decided?

They're all going to use the word "propagandist" now? Of course, they all arrived at that word independently, without any coaching or collusion -- at least if that lying pus-bucket Bill O'Reilly is to be believed.

It truly defies the laws of chance the way they all decide to say the same things on the same days, but Bill would never lie, would he?

[eleny]

16. And Hannity is a bed wetter

So there!

[Toots]

17. Now that is the kettle calling the pot black........ Is that rascist?

Why is calling something black an insult?

[OneTwentyoNine]

18. Ya know...its been at least a month since he's had another book out....

He better crank one out before the election.

David

[CO Liberal]

20. We'd Be Better Off If Hannity Would READ a Book.....

...and learn something.

[rustydog]

19. You got the village idiot calling the retard "stupid"

Heil Hannity is good for so many belly laughs.

Why hasn't numb nuts enlisted to support bush's war and gone off to kill Iraqi terraists?
Put action where his big mouth is.
He is all lip, no muscle.

[yellowcanine]

21. He would know.......Projection is such a predictable phenom when

it comes to Pubbies.
