1. I'm glad to see MSM begin to fact-check the RW nutjobs.

Of course, Keith and Rachel have been doing an excellent job from the start, but, let's face it, they're preaching only to the choir.

Josh Levs on CNN has posted all the "truth squad" sites on CNN politics page, such as factcheck and politifact.

But most of the other TV news organizations seem perfectly content simply to show video of screaming nutjobs and never investigate the veracity of the claims they're reapeating.

I'm old enough to remember the day when real journalists would never "print lies." Nowadays those who pass as journalists on TV put lies on a video loop 24/7.

5. The "Sean Hannity has no penis" topic has been discussed on DU

Obviously, where there there's smoke there's fire.

A daily Kos poll found that 32% of the respondants thought he had no penis.

Al Franken may have confused the issue by reporting that Hannity was a conjoined twin who was separated and now has quarter of a vagina and three-quarters of a penis.

It is not an accident that we see topics titled, "Is Sean Hannity Really a Man?"
