SPINSANITY ON O'REILLY: Brendan Nyhan of Spinsanity takes aim at Bill O'Reilly and "The misrepesentation zone":
This is actually the third time O'Reilly has falsely claimed that Glick said Bush knew about the Sept. 11 attacks in advance. On Sept. 18, 2003, O'Reilly claimed on his show that Glick "accused President Bush of knowing about 9/11 before it happened." The next night, O'Reilly read Glick's direct quote in an implicit clarification, then said that "Glick was saying without a shred of evidence that President Bush and Bush the elder were directly responsible for 9/11." Then, during an October 8, 2003 interview on National Public Radio's "Fresh Air," O'Reilly again falsely claimed Glick "proceeded to blame President Bush and his father, Bush the elder, for orchestrating the [Sept. 11] attack on their own country."O'Reilly's claims that his show is a "no spin zone" grow more hollow by the day.
Bill O'Reilly is one of the new pundits added this year to Lying in Ponds.
