The hardcore right seems determined to continue creating their own reality. Last night O’Reilly was haranguing a woman from World Can’t Wait, denying torture, death estimates, etc. To her credit, she didn’t let him walk all over him, though she did seem taken aback at his complete denial of well-documented facts. (“I have the information right here,” he says, shuffling papers on his desk. “Where’s your evidence?” As if people come on these shows with their own stacks of paper, ready to refute any right wing talking point O’Reilly or Hannity might pull out of their asses.)
Adding: C&L has video.
Also: did you know 30,000 war supporters gathered in the streets of DC last weekend — and nobody got a photo of it? Here and here. At least when war protesters claimed their numbers were being under-represented back in ’03, there were, you know, actual photographs of the streets of NYC jammed with people as far back as the eye could see.
