FOX News Bill O’Reilly lied about Brisenia Flores

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

David Neiwert is right about Bill O’Reilly lying on FOX News.  And we hope that we can be successful asking for a Congressional investigation so that simpletons like Bill O’Reilly can learn the truth about the Arizona little girl who was murdered by people who hate.

Dear Mr. O’Reilly,

Brisenia and her family were American Citizens.  A minuteman ring leader — Shawna Forde, had our own little Arizona girl killed in cold blood.  Brisenia was in fetal position begging for her life before the gunman shot her in the head that was witnessed by the surviving mother.  How dare you, Mr. O’Reilly.  How dare you.

Finally! O’Reilly and guests tackle the Shawna Forde case. Of course, they lie and misinform from beginning to end.

Of all the media entities that have ignored the case of Shawna Forde and her killer Minutemen, the silence at Fox News has been the most egregious and noteworthy — particularly because Bill O’Reilly is fond of criticizing other news organizations for supposedly “ignoring” stories that he has deemed eminently newsworthy (even if, in fact, they haven’t really ignored them at all, or it’s in fact a story of dubious veracity).

So naturally we were pleasantly surprised when O’Reilly began tackling the Forde case last night with his panel of legal “experts,” Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle — and, to no one’s great surprise, it was nothing but a pack of lies, disinformation and grotesque distortions, from start to finish.

For instance, here’s O’Reilly’s opening, having just discussed yet another case of an “illegal immigrant” having committed a murder, one of O’Reilly’s favorite schticks:

O’REILLY: Now — exact opposite on the political spectrum, in Arizona. A woman member of the Minutemen breaks into an illegal alien house?

GUILFOYLE: Right.

No, that’s wrong: Both Raul Junior Flores and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia (as well as Gina Gonzalez, the girl’s mother) were American citizens, born and raised in Arivaca.  Read on>>>
