...when you are pointing the finger at somebody, you have four fingers pointing back at you!
I keep catching Democracy Now! making mistakes. I called this to their attention, again, using their webform: "When one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it," wrote Joseph Goebbels, Germany's Reich minister of propaganda, in 1941. Former Vice President Dick Cheney seems to have taken the famous Nazi's advice in his new book, "In My Time."

Actually, what Goebbels said was this: "The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous."
Neither Hitler or Goebbels advocated the use of the Big Lie, they charged that their opponents used it. Which, ironically enough, is what you have just done. You really need to get some better fact checkers. And allow people to post comments on your webpage, so that corrections can be made by listeners as mistakes are made.
