"none of host Sean Hannity's guests had even attempted to shop on the exchange. When he shopped on the exchange with the information he was given for two of the three couples Hannity hosted, he found that both families could save thousands annually by enrolling in an ACA-compliant policy."

PERRspectives: Fox News Poll Shows Success of GOP's Obamacare Lies

PERRspectives: Fox News Poll Shows Success of GOP's Obamacare Lies
"Given the history of the Republicans' killer lies on health care, it's no surprise that Americans are confused about what Obamacare does, what it mean for them and the national budget. But like Politifact's 2009 Lie of the Year ("death panels") and 2010 Lie of the Year ("government takeover of healthcare"), Republican repetition of the claim that the Affordable Care Act will generate red ink doesn't make it any truer. But like the 2010 fraud that President Obama raised taxes or the sham that stimulus "made the economy worse" or any of the other myriad GOP claims which were "not intended to be a factual statement," millions of Americans deceived by Republican lies sadly it."

"Fox News continued its campaign to demonize programs that provide necessary food assistance to millions of Americans by attacking the AARP's effort to enroll eligible seniors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, baselessly claiming the program was an effort to buy their vote and change "what America really is" and dismissing the fact that many eligible seniors find it difficult to enroll in the food assistance program they need."

Fox News Resurrects Death Panels: ‘This Is About People Dying As A Result Of Obamacare’

Fox News Resurrects Death Panels: ‘This Is About People Dying As A Result Of Obamacare’:Johnson’s conflation of the sequester’s ham-fisted spending cuts with Obamacare’s Medicare savings demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the sequester, Obamacare, and how federal budgeting works. Sequestration is causing cancer clinics to turn people away because they can’t afford to keep providing expensive chemotherapy drugs to patients in the face of a two percent cut to Medicare Part Bthat has to come entirely out of clinics’ overhead funding — making the sequester cut more akin to a double-digit pay cut.

O'Reilly Attacks Obama for Promoting Social Justice in Inaugural Address

O'Reilly Attacks Obama for Promoting Social Justice in Inaugural Address
"What a shock. Sour grapes Bill O'Reilly didn't like President Obama's inaugural speech today. And what set Bill-O off that irritated him so badly about it? President Obama was advocating for... gasp... social justice! The horror! The only thing that was missing here was him calling us Greece. That and saying the words that didn't cross his lips, which is Social Security and Medicare. Apparently those are "welfare" now."
