Blatent Lies the Norm on Faux News.

Here's an example of a blatent lie told by gas bag Gingrich on the Right Wing's favorite propaganda channel:

On Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich falsely claimed that Dennis Hastert "did not get a private plane"

Summary: On Hannity & Colmes, Newt Gingrich falsely asserted that following 9-11, Dennis Hastert "did not get a private plane," adding that "[t]here's no reason for anyone but the president and vice president of the United States to have that level of security." In fact, at the time, the House sergeant-at-arms, the Defense Department, and the White House agreed that military planes should be made available to the speaker of the House for national security reasons, and Hastert was the first speaker to use one.
