		<description>[...] On March 20, Fox News wrote an article claiming former Sen. Tom Daschle and former Rep. Dick Gephardt were lobbyists. It was completely untrue. ThinkProgress encouraged our readers to demand a correction: Actually, neither Gephardt nor Daschle (who is a fellow at the Center for American Progress) are or have been registered lobbyists since they left office, according to the U.S. Senateâ€™s official database. We called both their offices to confirm the Senateâ€™s records. [...]</description>

		<description>If I were Gephart or Daschle, I would bring suite agains Fox for defimation of character. 

Comment by richsmith 

First they&#039;d have to prove in a court of law that they possess character. That would be problematic for those two gentlemen.</description>

What could be easier to demonstrate in a civil court here in the US than that in our times to lable anyone a lobbiest  is to defame that individual.   The only thing  that outlets such as Fox will understand is a serious  loss of assets due to their misuse  of the public ariways  with fabrication of  matters regarding public figures.</description>

Dick Gephardt now works for Goldman Sachs as a lobbyist, and is currently lobbying in California in an attempt to get Goldman Sachs in on the largest public works project in California state history.

		<description>It is time to start petitioning the FCC to revolk Fox&#039;s broadcasting licenses - the individual stations and any that pertain to the parent company.

And how about some class-action lawsuits for slander and libel?</description>

		<description>#72 - Dear Mr. Septic - You might be right...I have dealt with alot of clients and their parents.  Many good and decent people are stunned when one of their children chooses the &quot;wrong road&quot; and winds up in serious legal trouble.  I had one client who was the third of five children - mom and dad were solid people and involved in the children&#039;s school, sports, etc.  But &quot;middle&quot; daughter broke every rule set and crossed every boundary.  There came a time when she had to &quot;pay the piper&quot;.

So maybe you&#039;re right... as &quot;mom&quot; was sitting in my office telling bald-faced lies about her &quot;piece of cr*p&quot; spawn, I should have nodded knowingly, empathetically sighed, AND patted her hand.  My purpose in dealing with &quot;mom&quot; was based on protecting Constitutional rights - if she needed to assuage her &quot;guilt&quot;, she should have talked to her priest or rabbi.</description>

		<description>As others have noted, the Fox story referenced a Public Citizen 2005 report on lobbying that indeed fingers both Daschle and Gephardt for the L word.  The Public Citizen chart references a &quot;lobbying database&quot; at www.lobbyinginfo.org that appears to no longer exist (and in a strange circularity points back at the same report). TP should place an &quot;Update&quot; on this story, particularly since it now appears that TD &amp; DG were both lobbying last year.</description>

		<description>Looks to me like Fox news is correct. Old Tom shows to be registered with Alston &amp; Bird  in 2005 and unless somebody can show he isn&#039;t there&#039;s no reason we should take &quot;his office&#039;s&quot; word for it. 

http://www.lobbyinginfo.org/search/results.cfm?searchtype=2&amp;Org=2909

Oh my...the Goddess is correct too. Mrs Daschle is a registered lobbyist as well...for Pharma no less. Uh oh...this could be trouble...

Linda Daschle
Baker Donelson Bearman &amp; Caldwell employs Lobbyist is Linda Daschle, wife of Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota. [1] (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0201.mencimer.html) 

[edit]Jill Gimmel Daschle
Another lobbyist relation of the US Senator is his daughter-in-law, Jill Gimmel Daschle. 

[edit]Airline Industry
Linda Daschle married the future senator in 1984 while she was working at the Civil Aeronautics Board. She later served as deputy administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration in the Clinton administration. Today, she is a lobbyist for Baker Donelson Bearman &amp; Caldwell, where her clients include American Airlines, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin&#039;s Air Traffic Management unit. [2] (http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/Articles/TVReports/P57479.asp) 

[edit]Drug Companies
Linda Daschleâ€™s name shows on the form for her firmâ€™s lobbying on behalf of Schering-Plough. At the time the company was seeking a patent extension on its anti-allergy drug, Claritin. 

The company paid $470,000 to Daschleâ€™s firm, Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell &amp; Berkowitz, the Thune ad ends with the line: â€œOnly one candidate has personally profited from big drug companies. That candidate is Tom Daschle.â€ [3]

		<description>This sort of story not mere mis-reporting; these are intentional lies, published to promote a partisan agenda.

It is time to treat FOX as a political entity under campaign finance regulations.  Advertizing on Fox is no different from donating money to the Republican party, and the corporations that do so should not be able to write-off advertizing expenses before tax.  The public must reclaim the airwaves as publically owned and demand that their use be regulated to benefit the entire public.  At a minimum, we must re-instate the fairness doctrine.</description>

		<description>Mighty Aphrodite;
   Sorry to take so long to get back to you.   Mean has several definitions.  This is some of the  definition given in  Webster&#039;s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary &quot;shabby, contemptible: ignoble, base: characterized by petty selfishness or malice&quot;

How does this not apply to your words?
Oh sorry I forgot you are an imaginary character and can not participate in a debate.</description>

		<description>This still implies heâ€™s doing lobbying - and is â€™spinâ€™
But at least it would have been a true statement.

Just a question do you believe honestly he is not making phone calls and setting up appointments for the &quot;Lobbyists&quot; to get in?

but anytime â€˜politicsâ€™ is involved, at least one side of the story is usually worthless spin, sometimes both sides.
I agree fully with you on this one

A weather report that reported the temperature at a particular location at a particular time isnâ€™t â€˜wrongâ€™ or â€™skewedâ€™ - itâ€™s factual.
A Weather report isn&#039;t an article. Once someone decides to turn it into more than a list of facts it will become skewed.</description>

		<description>It would be much easier to expect honest reporting if it was possible to get honest responses to your questions, or to even have your questions answered at all. Or for that matter, just being in a position to ASK a question in the first place. So to hope for honest reporting from reporters who are questioning pathological liars is pointless. If reporters are lied to, reporters will report lies. Plain and simple.</description>

		<description>Basically Fox misses the facts as much as the rest of the Media. I don&#039;t think I have read 1 article that was &quot;Factual&quot; from any of them. They all look for a &quot;Grab Line&quot; and run with it.

Should Fox write a correction that states &quot;They all work for Lobbying firms&quot;
Sure.

The impression from the site here is that Daschle was an innocent politician slandered by Fox. I just like to have as many facts as possible and not jump off the handle. TP should have wrote that Daschle did work for a Lobbying firm but was not a registered Lobbyist as Fox suggests. At least this way the people demanding a correction can at least sound informed when writing them. Sadly some people from here will write them and claim that he has nothing to do with any lobbying and tear down the whole purpose behind asking for honest reporting.

Suggestion for anyone that wants to waste some time:
Find any article from any where and research it/ I bet within 30 minutes you can prove any of them wrong or skewed.</description>

		<description>Either TP really screwed up on this one or it&#039;s another example of deceiving it&#039;s gullible followers. 

Tom Daschle was working as a lobbyist in 2005 for Alston &amp; Bird as a Special Policy Advisor.  The report fox sources was prepared by Public Citizen in 2005, when Daschle was a lobbyist.

Dick Gephardt worked as lobbyist for Piper Rudnick and Gephardt &amp; Associates in 2005.

They both are not currently working as lobbyist.

Let Fox know that you were suckered by a liberal website and are willing to believe anything you&#039;re told, especially if it&#039;s a slander against Fox.

Then write TP and demand a correction.  Please be polite.</description>

		<description>&quot;Do a search under former member of congress turned lobbyist. I guess he was just a political advisor for a huge firm that specialized in it. 
Comment by Tundra &quot;

You missed this quote:

They are all former members of Congress â€” and they are all &lt;strong&gt;registered lobbyists.&lt;/strong&gt;

They didn&#039;t claim the democrats were &#039;working for a company&#039;, they claimed they were &#039;registered lobbyists&#039;.

The key word is &#039;registered&#039;, and that was the dishonesty.</description>
