Tricksy Republicans

Media Matters documents Republican lies about the recent vote in the House:

On both his television and radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity referred to a congressional resolution calling for the immediate termination of U.S. troop deployment in Iraq as the “Murtha amendment.” But the resolution in question was not sponsored by Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA)… his resolution bore little resemblance to the Republican-sponsored measure Hannity was discussing…

Further, Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto falsely wrote that the House of Representatives had voted “on Rep. John Murtha’s proposal for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.” In fact, only the GOP measure, sponsored by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), reached a vote in the House.

Doesn’t it give you a warm and fuzzy feeling, knowing that corporate media in America is so dedicated to the truth?
