CNN Headline News right-wing whore Glenn Beck, and syndicated columnist Debra Saunders falsely claimed Palin supports benefits for same-sex partners of state employees.
In fact, while Palin did veto a bill in 2006 that would have prevented state officials from granting spousal benefits to same-sex couples, she stated that she vetoed the bill because the Alaska attorney general had advised her that it was unconstitutional, not because she supported spousal benefits for same-sex couples. Moreover, Palin indicated in a 2006 questionnaire that she disagreed with the Alaska Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex couples are entitled to the same spousal benefits given to other state employees, and also reportedly said that she would support a ballot question banning benefits for same-sex couples.http://mediamatters.org/items/200809010004

Faux "News" right-wing whore Neil Cavuto failed to challenge false claim from another right-wing whore Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) that "we didn't have any spillage whatsoever ... during Katrina".
In fact, a 2007 report prepared for the U.S. Minerals Management Service by the international consulting firm Det Norske Veritas identified damage from Katrina to 27 platforms and rigs that resulted in the spilling of approximately 2,843 barrels of petroleum products into the Gulf of Mexico. The report further found that when also considering damage done to oil pipelines, a total of approximately 5,552 barrels of petroleum products spilled into the Gulf of Mexico as a result of Katrina.http://mediamatters.org/items/200809020014
