After Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) told a town hall audience that they shouldn’t believe everything they hear on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly had Coburn on his show to reprimand him for wrongly using Fox as a “whipping boy.”
Coburn had said, specifically, that Fox tells viewers they may go to jail if they don’t buy health insurance. O’Reilly claimed that “Nobody has ever said it.” So Coburn backed off: “Maybe it wasn’t fair,” he said.
The thing is, Fox News hosts, anchors and guests have made the claims over and over.
Props to TPM’s former video editor Ben Craw for putting together this reel over at Huffington Post:
