Why would it have to be "a joke?" It looks more like a manipulative lie
than a joke. What I want to know is this -- when O'Reilly was talking
about Foley, was he clearly stating that Foley is a Republican? If the
graphic and O'Reilly were agreeing, that's a bigger problem.
I didn't see the show. I think that everybody is making a huge deal
about a typo.
The second one really couldn't be a typo.
I don't get that -- what was the "conspiracy among news agencies?" Do
you mean within a single news agency? The CBS document thing was just
a lame mistake and those people did not seek to deceive us -- in fact,
it has been noted many times that everything claimed in the fake
documents was true. However, Mark Foley is not a Democrat, so that
was, in a way, a much more serious mistake than Rather's presentation
of the fake documents.
If intentionally forging documents is "a lame mistake"
CBS and Rather didn't forge anything, they just made the mistake of
accepting that the documents were not forgeries when they were forgeries.
If you can produce an actual, unaltered, unspliced, un-dubbed-over
recording of Bill O'Reilly saying that Mark Foley was a Democrat and not
a Republican, then I'll believe your theory. Otherwise I'll continue to
assume that it is an honest error as I have seen Fox News (Fox and
Friends in the morning) say that he is a Republican.
Look at the second one here:

How could that be a mistake?
