Fox News to air fabricated excerpts from ‘Path to 9/11’ miniseries – Fox News said Thursday that it planned to broadcast footage from ABC’s controversial miniseries “The Path to 9/11” that was edited out of the docudrama amid criticism that it inaccurately portrayed the Clinton administration’s response to the terrorism threat. The outtakes, scheduled to air Sunday on “Hannity’s America,”, include a made-up scene showing then-national security advisor Samuel R. “Sandy” Berger refusing to approve a CIA request to attack Osama bin Laden, an event that Berger and the Sept. 11 commission say did not occur.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity “Explains†“New†Military Strategy to a Four Star General – There’s perhaps nothing funnier than a propagandist college dropout
Fox News’ Sean Hannity falsely claimed Fox poll found Dems don’t want Bush’s plan to succeed in Iraq – On the January 25 edition of Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity falsely stated that “a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll recently showed that most Democrats don’t even want the president’s plan to succeed in Iraq.” In fact, the poll showed that 51 percent of Democratic respondents said they want President Bush’s “Iraq plan” to succeed, compared with 34 percent who said they don’t.
Right-wing Radio Host Smears Obama, Clinton, and Edwards – Melanie Morgan of the irrational right in KSFO in San Francisco, repeating the story the “Washington Times†made up about Senator Obama going to a Muslim training school, and attributing the smear not just to Senator Clinton, which also is a smear, but now to Senator Edwards as well. Three, three, three smears in one.
Rush Limbaugh read a made-up quote from Obama – supposedly responding to an endorsement from actress Halle Barry. Limbaugh later admitted it was made-up, but he still said, as an Half-African-American, I am honored to have Miss Barry‘s support, as well as the support of other Half-African-Americans. Not the first time Limbaugh has used the Half-African insult.
Dick Cheney Led Effort Against Wilson Says Cheney Ex-Aide – Vice President Cheney personally orchestrated his office’s 2003 efforts to discredit an Iraq war critic who Cheney believed was making him look foolish, according to former Cheney aide Cathie Martin, testifying yesterday in the Libby trial. Martin clearly recalled telling both Cheney and Libby that the wife of that critic was a covert CIA operative well before they claimed to have learned that fact from a reporter, contradicting a key claim made in Libby’s defense.

What is it with Republicans and their refusal to help the working class? – “Do you have such disdain for hard-working Americans that you want to pile all your amendments on this? Why don’t you just hold your amendments until other pieces of legislation? Why this volume of amendments on just the issue to try and raise the minimum wage? What is it about it that drives you Republicans crazy? What is it? Something. Something! What is the price that the workers have to pay to get an increase? What is it about working men and women that you find so offensive?” – Senator Ted Kennedy speaking to Senate Republicans.
Republican Senator introduces bill to eliminate the Minimum Wage – Republican Senator Wayne Allard (Colorado) introduced a bill this week that would have eliminated the Federal Minimum Wage entirely and left the wage rate for the lowest-paid workers to each state.
