It would be different if they just spun stories like Faux and other outlets, but they prey on the standard liberal passions related to inflaming groups.
Your example is precisely the sort of misinformation I've seen from O'Reilly, just from a different angle.

Do you have an example of something that Bill O'Reilly has edited in such a way?

I'm not a big fan of O'Riley.  He's a Republican that hates the idea of Libertarianism.  He can't stand the idea of individual freedom, but he typically does not engage in mis-information.
When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

Wow, indeed. I'm not quite sure how to respond.

Was that an attempt to get me to waste time going back through years of bookmarks to find a bunch of references to common knowledge, or is it a serious question that will benefit from a serious answer?

Sorry, I just figured if it was common knowledge, something would certainly come to mind.  You don't have to do any work.  O'Riley is not worth enough for me to defend.

On that we agree...
