Any other station, it is considered a mistake.

Why is that?

Glen Beck made a comment about Olympics in Vancouver costing the city a billion dollars. People here, and sites like media matters ranted about how Glen Beck was lying.

It was Montreal, not Vancouver. He got the city wrong, but was right about his other facts, but it didn't matter, it was considered a 'lie' and not a mistake.

Beck was pushing his agenda, and is known for distorting facts to fit his version of reality. What's Brewer's reason? Could it be that she interviewed both in the same day and had a brain fart? Nah, she's grand dragon of the Manhattan KKK. :(

Oh, right, it was the *other* station that made the comment. So it's excusable. No need to plaster P&N with dozens of threads of racist accusations... just so as long as the profit driven corporation behind the station helps regurgitate your own personal highly partisan ideology :roll:

You need to go away Patranus, you're starting to tire me out with these inane pos....oh, sorry. My bad.

Exactly my point. When you have a long history of half truths and innuendo people can't wait for a perceived screw up to jump down your throat.
