Right-wing media machine making up shit again

Because the sun rose in the east and set in the west today, this is yet another day in which Rush Limbaugh and the Foxfux have made up nonsense out of thin air.

An article from the Fox network's foxbusiness.com site complains that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) is trying to undo protections for bank execs' bonuses that he himself put in the stimulus bill.

Trouble with that statement is, Dodd added no such protections to the bill to begin with.

Naturally, Drudge Report picked up this erroneous statement as if it was a fact.

Limbaugh made the same bogus claim as Fox.

Where is this claim coming from??? It sounds to me like this is yet another sham talking point sent by the Republican National Committee to its media mouthpieces.

Actually, Dodd's measure limited execs' bonuses. It didn't protect bonuses at all.

I'm not very partisan, but I will call out the right-wing noise machine on its lies.
