LIARS,
INC.
In
this page, I will make an attempt to link to resources on the web (or
books) that debunk or refute false, misleading or inaccurate work by
various columnists, writers, talk show hosts, etc. against
liberals/progressives/Democrats (the full list would be way too long - so this
is only a partial list). Certainly, no one is ALWAYS wrong or spouting
misleading/false tales, but most of the people listed below tend to be
the more prominent offenders in American media (or in their
media appearances). If you know of other websites that focus on these
charlatans or other ones who make their living reciting GOP spin
points or fabricating stories against Democrats, feel free to send
them to me.
Let
me acknowledge that there are some reporters/columnists etc. on
the Left who also propagate myths about the Right. However, given the media overall
slants to the Right in the U.S. (especially media outlets that have
the widest reach), disinformation from the Right, along with
conservative bias, overwhelms any disinformation from the Left or
liberal bias. This is reflected in data on what people believe about
Democrats and Republicans or about how each group is perceived on
important policy issues (vis-a-vis reality). So, it is more important
to focus here on those who make up myths about the Left. If you are
wondering when I will direct my attention to the Left, all you have to
do is get the Fairness Doctrine enforced in every media outlet in the
U.S., ensure that no inaccurate, false or misleading story in the
media remains uncorrected (prominently) and bring the media coverage
back to a focus on facts over opinions.
