Media Matters for America is on the case to set conservative Fox News windbag Sean Hannity straight for his partisan distortions of the stimulus bill.
From Media Matters:
Summary: On Fox News, Sean Hannity repeated the false GOP talking points that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act directs that funds be spent to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse in San Francisco and on a high-speed rail line between Southern California and Las Vegas. In fact, as Rep. Joe Sestak noted in response to Hannity, the bill does not contain any language directing funds to the salt marsh harvest mouse or its San Francisco wetlands habitat, nor does the bill include a provision directing that funds be spent on a high-speed rail line between Southern California and Las Vegas.
Hannity is strictly going off Republican (distorted) talking points and partisan (unsubstantiated) evidence he has retrieved from the Internet. He is a disgrace to our airwaves. He makes Bill O’Reilly look fair and balanced and he isn’t. It’s worth reading the Media Matters story to get the real story behind these made-up pet projects that Republicans have been manufacturing to make the stimulus bill look irresponsible (even though some of these pet projects are for Republicans).
