Remember when CBS faked an explosion in an auto crash and got caught?
There was Hell to pay.
So why can Fox News and the GOP and Republican pundits lie to me and to you and get away with it? No sanctions what so ever. Not only have they lied they are still right now telling the same lie.
What have we become?
Reports of a recent study by the Congressional Budget Office, showing that the vast majority of the money in the stimulus package won't be spent until after 2010, have Democrats on the defensive and the GOP calling for a pullback in wasteful spending.
Funny thing is, there is no such report.
"We did not issue any report, any analysis or any study," a CBO aide told the Huffington Post.
Rather, the nonpartisan CBO ran a small portion of an earlier version of the stimulus plan through a computer program that uses a standard formula to determine a score -- how quickly money will be spent. The score only dealt with the part of the stimulus headed for the Appropriations Committee and left out the parts bound for the Ways and Means or Energy and Commerce Committee.

Read it all:
What happens to those who blatantly try to make us out as fools?
Nothing?
Has that part of America lied so much and so long that they can't tell what is true anymore.
The back side of this of course if they tell us something we really need to know, we can't believe that they are telling us the truth.
Remember that old "X File" slogan? 'Trust No One"

Govenor Romney just quoted data from that non-existant CBO report on MSNBC just now and was not challenged by the interviewer Andre' Mitchel: 12:34 CST WEDNESDAY.
Eric Cantor (good Hebrew name that), the House Republican Whip, told the lie again four times on three networks last night.
A lie in volume resembles truth?
Unfortunately for Eric he reminds me of a used car dealer whoes lies you have to live with as long as you drive the lemon.
MSNBC Friday morning: Tony Blankly repeats the " CBO says lie" again 5 times, even after the commentator corrected him.
Screw these people. The CBO lie has become a Republican mantra. Blanky says we should take a few weeks and reconstruct the stimulus bill. A few weeks?
