One of the favorite techniques of conservatives in the media is to attack the "librul" media as biased. When confronted with the facts, these conservatives smugly state that the questioner is wrong about the facts and proceed to deliver a line of ideological talking points to their conservative base who enjoy confrontation with the demonized "librul" media as entertainment more than any concern for the facts or inconvenient truths. You can just hear J.D. Hayworth supporters at home shouting at their T.V. "Yeah J.D.! Give that liberal lesbian the what for! That lyin' liberal media. They don't know what the hell they're talking about."

Unfortunately, this conservative base are not the type to read the corrections the following day or to actually fact-check what their conservative hero smugly claimed to be the truth. If they ever bothered to actually do so, they would discover that J.D. Hayworth was lying to them. Bald-faced look into the camera and lie to his supporters and anyone else watching.

Here is the fact-check of J.D. Hayworth's appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show.
