O'Reilly Slam of Sean Penn on Gay Marriage Factually False (Twice)?

Bill O'Reilly on Fox News has made baseless, personal attacks on Sean Penn so many times, it was not surprising to see O'Reilly make a false slam against Penn for his speech accepting the best actor Oscar for portraying gay activist politician Harvey Milk. It was still somewhat surprising that no one at Fox News caught Bill O'Reilly's factual error about President Barack Obama's position on gay marriage bans, however, and, as I show in this video, O'Reilly was still repeating his false claim two days later in his discussion with Dennis Miller.

The two clips of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" that I use in this video come from the episodes broadcast on February 23 and 25, 2009.

The clip of Barack Obama's interview on MTV that I use in this video is available online at http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/314215/senator-barack-obama-talks-proposition-...

You can also find Barack Obama opposing California Proposition 8 as early as July 2008 when his opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage was reported in my local paper, The Sacramento Bee, at http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/1051404.html

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

To be honest I don't think that there is a word in the English language that is strong enough to describe fox "news"

[soulburn2k5]

o'riely is such a vile person, he's is a biggot and a racist, sexist just and all round douche bag

@princelakim interesting way to try and get attention. You crave it so badly. You obviously weren't loved as a child.

I do love (and prefer) Sean Penn passing judgement on me, over you, dear sir...

[alexanderhulse]

i think its lazyness in jurnalism and its stupidity when looking at evidence

If Monica Crowley really has a PH.D., I'm Elvis Presley...

This show and channel is such a laughing stock in Europe. People usually protect their mind and soul by telling themselves it is a comedy show because no intelligent being can face the sad reality that it is supposed to be a real news show.

Best word = fox news

Truth and justice keeps having her veil taken off by fox to place it over the peoples eyes. Its no longer a decline of America's place as leaders of the world, its down right free fall when reality is treated as a game between two historically opposing political powers.
