I haven't seen anything she's reported to be innacurate. She's even gone after Obama on a number of issues. Maddow doesn't make stuff up like the loonies on the far right do. I gave a few examples of the bullshit reported by the loons on the right - Glenn Beck and his FEMA concentration camps - Michelle Bachmann and her claims of mandatory 're-education' camps for the young. Can you give examples of anything Maddow has reported that's similarly turned out to be such fabricated bullshit? > --- On Thu, 8/6/09, do.rflex <do.rf...@...> wrote: > > > From: do.rflex <do.rf...@...> > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maddow: Right Wing Mob Mentality to Disrupt > Health Care Town Halls > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Date: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 5:23 PM > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com, Mike Dixon <mdixon.6569@ ...> wrote: > > > > I'm curious Reflux, how often do you bother to verify Maddow's *facts*and > > to what extent ?
