Some conservative lies are so alluring to the far right that no matter how monstrous and discredited they are they simply can't let go. Sarah Palin's "death panels" lie is one of them. PolitiFact declared it the Lie of the Year. You'd think that'd be enough of a stink bomb to keep conservatives from continuing to repeat it. Nope! Enter the Fox News propaganda factory which is starting to breath new life into it.

1. Watched some Faux News the last few days

With MSNBC doing their idiotic Investigations and Jail shows over the holiday (is MSNBC a legitimate news network??) I watched a little Faux News and listened on XM while traveling in the car. First time in a long time I had done this. Couldn't get over the 100% 24/7 negativity. Never a positive word, so many lies that never stopped. They don't even make a pretense anymore, do they? Brian Kilmeade is without a doubt the worst daytime.

3. Fox News is a propaganda factory

Fox & Friends starts the morning setting the political themes for the day. Most of them are ripped from the red blogs the day before. From there, these themes are passed on from show to show until their prime time demagogues like O'Reilly, Beck, and Hannity take over to turn the mole hills into raging volcanoes to get the fanboys all lathered up.

2. Fox News likes "death panels"...how much coverage does Fox News give to Arizona's Medicaid cuts?
