Fox News: "Ryan's Speech-attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies."

On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

The good news is that the Romney-Ryan campaign has likely created dozens of new jobs among the legions of additional fact checkers that media outlets are rushing to hire to sift through the mountain of questionable statements that flowed from Ryan’s mouth. Said fact checkers have already condemned certain arguments that Ryan still irresponsibly repeated.

I'm not certain if she has a job at Fox.

From a google search, it seems she is a paid contributor. I don't know what that means.

I looked at some of the titles of her other articles.

She admits she is a Democrat.

Obama's right, Americans can't succeed without government

Bullying Mitt Romney?

Obama should say more on marriage equality

Published May 09, 2012

President Obama should make a much more full-throated and bold speech on marriage equality -- not because gay activists pressured him, not because the media dogged him, but because it's the right thing to do. Here is what I think he should say.
President Barack Obama is set to be the Democratic nominee for an election he will most likely win

Published April 25, 2012

Mitt Romney and the Republicans will keep pinning their hopes on a dream of a chance at victory, while President Obama hangs his hat on the very real and very impressive accomplishments of his leadership.
