IN THE DENIAL ROOM: ALAN SKORSKI

MediaMatters reported that Skorski falsely attacked Al Franken. Here are the relevant details:

On The Situation, Skorksi attacked Franken as "one of the most vicious and dishonest political pundits in the arena today." When asked by host Tucker Carlson to provide two examples of Franken's "dishonesty," Skorski referred to a portion of Franken's book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (Dutton, 2003), in which Franken exposed Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's false claims that Inside Edition, a tabloid-style news program he once anchored, had won "Peabody awards." Skorski claimed: "What Franken used to attack O'Reilly was a news column that had nothing to do with what Franken claimed it did."... In fact, the column Skorski -- and Franken -- referred to did address O'Reilly's false claim to have won Peabody awards.

I sent the entire piece to Skorski and this is his reply:

Unfortunately Brock conveniently left out the 2 preceding quotes from Frankens book where O'Reilly says, Inside Edition, a show I once worked for won a Peabody award.

This reply makes no sense. Franken did claim that O'Reilly falsely stated that Inside Edition had won a Peabody. I then sent Skorski this reply:

It NEVER won a Peabody: http://www.insideedition.com/aboutus/awards/

Skorski's response:

You are correct, it won a Polk and everybody, including O'Reilly, acknowledges that.

So, presented with the truth, Skorski responds with non-sequitors.
