H/t mandigray (full story here).

Long story short, Tom Coburn (R-sane for once) tells constituents that their fear of the health care bill has been disingenuously stoked by the likes of Fox News, including their fear of jail time for non-compliance. Bill O’Reilly invites Coburn onto his show for what we’re meant to believe is a fact check, with O’Reilly indignantly stating, “We researched to find out if anybody on Fox News had ever said, ‘You’re going to jail if you don’t buy health insurance.’ Nobody’s ever said it.”

Naturally, Fox News staff and guests have made the jail claim over and over, with video tape to prove it.

I ask, what would be less surprising — that Fox News lies to cover its own ass, or that the Fox News research department really is that bad?
