Once Again Rachel Maddow‘s Claims Ruled ’False’
No one ever reports when these progressives run false reports.....
Earlier this month, PolitiFact — the fact-check website run by the St. Petersburgh Times — deemed claims Rachel Maddow made about Fox News “false.” Well, it seems Maddow is at again, and this time, PolitiFact is crying foul over bold claims made about Wisconsin’s budget numbers, mainly that there is no budget deficit.
Sounds damning. But it’s not.
According to the Wisconsin division of PolitiFact, Maddow didn’t read the fine print:
We re-read the fiscal bureau memo, talked to Lang, consulted reporter Jason Stein of the Journal Sentinel’s Madison Bureau, read various news accounts and examined the issue in detail.
Our conclusion: Maddow and the others are wrong.
There is, indeed, a projected deficit that required attention, and Walker and GOP lawmakers did not create it.
More on that second point in a bit.
The confusion, it appears, stems from a section in Lang’s memo that — read on its own — does project a $121 million surplus in the state’s general fund as of June 30, 2011.
But the remainder of the routine memo — consider it the fine print — outlines $258 million in unpaid bills or expected shortfalls in programs such as Medicaid services for the needy ($174 million alone), the public defender’s office and corrections. Additionally, the state owes Minnesota $58.7 million under a discontinued tax reciprocity deal.
The result, by our math and Lang’s, is the $137 million shortfall.
But what about Maddow’s other claim, the one that says that if there is a deficit, GOP tax breaks are the reason for that deficit? Again, PolitiFact says Maddow didn’t read the whole report:
Lang’s fiscal bureau report and news accounts addressed that issue as well.
The tax cuts will cost the state a projected $140 million in tax revenue — but not until the next two-year budget, from July 2011 to June 2013. The cuts are not even in effect yet, so they cannot be part of the current problem.
“With the facts unveiled,” writes Mediaite, “it will be interesting to see whether Maddow is willing to recalibrate her view.”
The more likely possibility is that she’ll just blame Glenn Beck.

Re: Once Again Rachel Maddow‘s Claims Ruled ’False’
NOBODY takes ANYTHING Rachel Maddow says for FACT! She's a mindless puppet thats lies with every breath! She's as bad as the fired Keith Olbermann and should be next on the unemployment line! Oh and it drives you liberal wackos more nutty that Glen Beck is right on the money with just about every breath he takes.
I'll have plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead!

Umm...someone is wrong, but it's not Rachel Maddow. Nice to see that the discussion has turned to her sexuality. That never happens.

Is not true. There are no "death panels." No matter how many times Sarah and Glenn click their heels together and say it.. Since I'm sure Glenn has posted them for all his viewers to see, please post links to the supposed committee responsible for allocating healthcare and promoting euthanasia to reduce costs, for those of us who do not tune into Mr Beck's show.
Debunk FEMA camps myth 3-26-09
Actually Glenn didn't debunk anything. Popular Mechanics did all the work.. The PM editor appeared on his show..
Cash for Clunkers warning (cars.gov) – 7/31/09
Also untrue. CFC was not a covert government way of getting into your computers, your files becoming government property and allowing the government to eavesdrop on your phone calls.

Cass Sunstein is most dangerous man in U.S. – Dec. 7, 2009
This is actually not a "truth" but more of this is Glenn's "opinion." While Sunstein has some fucked up ideas, it does not make him "the most dangerous man in America" and I seen no alerts for him on America's Most Wanted.
There will be riots in the CA streets – 02/17/10
There have been riots in the California streets since Watts in 1965. Many predict riots after every other trial out there if there is a controversial verdict..
What riot did Glenn predict again and when did it occur?

Dick Beck's rating are so low, he's about to get axed from Fox. Oh, the fucking humiliation. Fired from Fox.
Can't wait to see the crying fest after this goes down.

Glen Beck was right about our health care system being the best in the world.
Until he said that it was awful and a disgrace to our nation.
He's always right.

Liberals are always proven wrong but yet they continue to create the untrue! It's hard to call em liars though! They are so completely out of their minds they actually believe garbage that comes out of their mouths!

The flip side of that would be: why is it so difficult for you to express your point with your own words?

What's really sad is the number of lemmings like Redbeard who take Harold Hill's like Beck seriously.

Who "ruled" Maddow false, anyway?
Did this make it to the Supreme Court?
