QUICK FACT: Laffer continues to mislead on 2011 tax changes On Fox & Friends, guest Art Laffer misleadingly claimed that "President Obama has decided to let Bush's tax cuts expire," falsely claimed that the "dividend tax rate's going from 15 to 39.6 percent" and pushed the dubious claim that Reagan "postponed tax cuts which... caused the deep recession of 1981-82." In fact, under President Obama's proposed budget, tax rates would only increase ontop earners, and dividend taxes for those taxpayers would increase to 20 percent, not 39 percent. Read More Fox News strains to tie Obama administration to BP Fox News pushed the tenuous suggestion that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has unethical "ties" to BP because he once lived in the home of Stan Greenberg, a D.C. research strategist who has done work for the oil company. In fact, there is no evidence that Emanuel's relationship with Greenberg -- which dates back several decades -- has anything to do with BP or benefited BP in any way. Moreover, Brian Kilmeade falsely claimed BP donated $750 million to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, which would have amounted to the entirety of Obama's campaign haul. Read More Fox & Friends runs with attack on gov't for not yet buying company's untested oil boom Fox & Friends attacked the Obama administration for not immediately purchasing a manufacturer's oil containment boom. However, the company has not previously manufactured oil boom, their product reportedly "differs from other designs being used," and BP has reportedly "ordered a trial run" of the boom before committing to purchase it. Read More Did the GOP commission Fox to rewrite the history books? Appearing on Fox & Friends, purported business expert Stuart Varney made extensive revisions to U.S. economic history, among them: the false suggestion that President Obama has not cut taxes; the false suggestion that President Bush presided over strong job growth; and the false claim that after President Clinton took office, the economy did not improve until Republicans took control of Congress. Read More Wash. Times distorts Kagan's record to claim she's a "threat to gun owners" The Washington Times distorted Elena Kagan's record to claim that "a vote for Ms. Kagan for the Supreme Court is another vote against gun rights." Read More The Wall Street Journal's extensive history of using industrial disasters to attack government The Wall Street Journal editorial page has used the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to criticize government regulation of industry. This is merely the latest in a long history of using environmental and industrial disasters to attack government and advocate for less regulation.

Cavuto hosts NY Post's Crudele to advance Census hiring falsehoods On Your World, Neil Cavuto and the New York Post's John Crudele repeatedly falsely suggested that the Census Bureau is hiring, firing, and rehiring workers to artificially boost national employment figures, despite the fact that they acknowledged not having evidence that this is true. In doing so, Cavuto and Crudele distorted both Census' hiring practices and how the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) gathers jobs figures. Read More After criticizing Obama for lacking emotion, right-wing now attacks Obama for seeking "ass to kick" over spill Right-wing media have rushed to attack President Obama for responding to criticism that he spends too much time consulting experts rather than "kick[ing some butt]" by saying, "I want to know whose ass to kick." Many conservative media figures previously hyped criticism that Obama lacked emotion in his response to the oil spill. Read More Will Fox allow Bill O'Reilly to help Newsmax sell its financial products? The right-wing website Newsmax has enlisted Fox News host Bill O'Reilly to headline its upcoming "Economic Crisis Summit." Previous Newsmax "summits" have not been "summits" at all, but rather thinly disguised infomercials in which Newsmax stoked viewers' fears of economic collapse to drive sales of its financial-services products. Read More Is Obama "Urkel" or "Carlton Banks"? Media conservatives respond to "ass to kick" comment Right-wing media figures have responded to President Obama's remarks about finding out "whose ass to kick" in regard to the Gulf oil spill by saying that Obama has gone "street" and gone "a little gangsta" and by comparing him to fictional characters Steve Urkel and Carlton Banks.
