Stossel can't say what Media Matters has said that's not true...

[cynatnite]

It was beautiful! He stuttered, wouldn't be specific and never answered the question. When challenged neither Scarborough nor Stossel could come up with one single example of a lie by Media Matters.

:rofl:

[Sparkly]

1. That was hilarious!!!

Challenged to explain how O'Reilly was "defamed," he said he only assumed he was based on what they said about him... Challenged to explain what they said about him that was wrong, he said he'd have to look it up!!

I also thought Joe was snarky to get David Brock's name wrong (calling him David Brooks) and then apologized -- to DAVID BROOKS!!!

[AX10]

2. Dead Intern Man and Screwy Stossol have nothing left to throw at us.

Just like the rest of the right wing.

[Smarmie Doofus]

3. Sounds interesting, but what the heck are ya talkin about? nt

[Gabi Hayes]

4. not true, unfortunately. Scarborough specifically mentioned

instances in which he contacted "Brooks" about inaccuracies committed by MM, and they apologized.

however, when challenged by MM's EXCELLENT rep, Stossel could not name ONE smear of OReilly, or of himself

it was beauty itself to see him hem and haw, and not come up with ONE single instance in which MM got it wrong about he, himself

Beauty, eh?

[Gabi Hayes]

8. btw, I can't wait to see MM's response to this show

wonder what, exactly, it was that they got wrong about JS

can't wait, as he didn't come up with a specific example

[bullwinkle428]

5. IT WAS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!! I just about fell off my chair

laughing! Exposed for the sniveling little prick that he is! He did an interview with 2 local morning radio guys, one of which is a HUGH freeper, and Stossel was such a horrible interviewee that you tell the freeper in particular was completely disillusioned!

[AlCzervik]

6. gee i wonder if Joe planned this get together with Stossel specifically

to attack media matters? Oh wait, of course he did.

[BattyDem]

7. CHALLENGE their statements - that is exactly what the Dems need to do

RWers state something as fact and no one ever asks for proof, a source for the info, an example, etc.

Dems need to do this everytime a RWer says something that smells like BS ...

"Can you give me an example?" or "Can you tell me your source for that information?"

When they stutter and stammer, keep hitting them with questions. They hate questions! Also, be sure to point out that they haven't provided any answers.

:evilgrin:

[Sparkly]

9. Only when they know what the answer will be....

Because they're often ready with BS answers (or non-answers).

This was classic pinning-down, though. I agree with you that Democrats should challenge them, and prepare for it ahead of time, by thinking of questions that they can't possibly answer.

23. My freeper cousin's response

when I ask her questions like that is to say "well, I don't think they'd put it out there if it wasn't true."

There's something in the freeper brain that prevents rational thought.

[Touchdown]

10. Ok. I've been to this thread 3 times now, hoping someone will say it.

so I guess I'll have to ask...

WHAT FU@#ING SHOW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Thank you.:D

[Sparkly]

12. Joe Scarborough

The segment was on why liberals keep picking on poor Bill O'Reilly...

A representative from Media Matters was there (I didn't catch his name), and John Stossel was there, as well.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. Bill must be crying about all the butt kickings he's gotten from Olbermann

n/t

[cynatnite]

13. Scarborough...

John Stossel and the guy from Media Matters (forgive me for not knowing his name) were on. Stossel and Scarborough attempted to gang up, but were quickly struck down when they failed to come up with facts. It was beautiful!

:toast:

[TheFarseer]

11. I agree with Stossel

the free market should decide what's true and what's not. If people don't want to believe the video tape, then they will vote with their voter dollars for it to be false. That way the truth can be whatever the most people decide. That's democracy. If you disagree, then you are a Communist.

[gumby]

15. Very Funny!

Sums up Stossel perfectly.

[gumby]

14. Scarborough and Stossel tag-teamed Media Matters.

Joe and John were talking about how fair and balanced they are and what a smear site Media Matters is.

Of course they couldn't back up their bullshit. They never can.

[Gabi Hayes]

16. isn't it interesting how JS takes his sleazy competitor's side on this?

and spare us with how much the WH hates you, you lying sac of excremento.

who does that pigeyed philanderer (at the least, thank you, Lori) think he's fooling with his FAUX populism

he just couldn't swing a deal with Fox, and went with the next lowest rung on the media ladder

[Liberal_Dog]

17. Well, Of Course They Can't

Neither can Billdo O'Reilly himself.

[Rowdyboy]

18. Thanks for posting this...I don't "do" Scarborough, but , after Olberman..

we were talking and accidently caught this segment. What a smackdown! Scarborough and Stossel were so rude and dismissive until the guy from media matters asked them one simple question...."Can you give me ONE single example of bias on our part". They stuttered, hemmed and hawwed, and made complete jackasses out of themselves.

Thanks for posting this.

[ComerPerro]

19. John Stossel is a pathetic corporate apologist

[KharmaTrain]

20. The Joe Show Explodes...

Stoessel is pissed he doesn't get the good lookin' "liberal ladies" who work the newsroom...or some has some other broomstick, along with his head, up his ass. He also blamed New York City...that evil den of liberals...which is, of course the reason Al Queda struck there than Abiliene, Kansas. What a tool.

How can "Brooks" defame when he puts out the transcripts and the video that backs up their reports? :crazy: Joey & Stoessel are pissed cause "Brooks" has busted their asses on various occasions. In a perfect world, these guys would be trolling cable access.

Another classic was the hit on Clinton...an "author" who "wrote a book" on how Clinton made 9/11 happen. Of course there's no fact, just Clennis-hate. He makes accusations like he was there when the closest he ever got to his topic was when Scaiffe mailed him the check.

[1932]

21. It's like Clinton asking Wallace if he ever asked the Bush Administration

the hard questions...
