TOPIC: Big Lies: The Right Wing Propaganda Machine and How it Distorts the Truth
GUEST: Joe Conason, political columnist and best-selling author of “The Hunting of the President”

Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bernard Goldberg, Michael Savage, Bill O’Reilly, they’ve clogged bestseller lists and our airwaves with their ranting and raving. And guess what? According to my next guest, Joe Conason, it’s all Big Lies. That’s the title of his new book, and the subtitle is “The Right Wing Propaganda Machine and how it distorts the truth”. The book is available during our fund drive for only $60.

Bill O’Reilly, the reigning right-wing king of cable news speaking to Jay Leno on the Tonight Show about all those “pinheads” who have written books critical of him. Our next guest, like Al Franken, is a serious critic of Bill O’Reilly – Peter Hart, of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. His latest book, published by Seven Stories Press is The O’Really Factor: Unspinning Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly.

As part of our special “Patriot” Pack today we are giving away pairs of tickets to see The Patriot Acts for $200, which includes a copy of Big Lies by Joe Conason. The O’Really Factor by Peter Hart, and the All Things Condescended CD by “The People Who Do That”. We have only 25 packs to give away – this is limited and exclusive. The show is on Thursday the 4th of December at 8 pm at the Comedy Underground at 320 Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica. “Patriot” Packs are available by credit card only. I spoke recently with several members of the Patriot Acts actors and asked them to tell me about the show and to perform a sketch in studio for us.
