No one ever calls them on their lies, and they're running for President.

Several news outlets have reported this week that the former secretary “regretted” the decision to award the prize to Obama. However, Lundestad -- who, as secretary, did not have a vote in the committee -- told the AP on Wednesday that he “didn’t disagree” with the panel’s decision. The effect of the award just “fell short” of expectations.

I just caught the repeat, she says it's reported that it's in a book that's coming out. Snopes will have to add an update when the book is available to dismiss it if again it's merely a net hoax.

e.g. Jeb! says his bro kept America safe. Jake Tappert doesn't then ask, "Was 9-11 keeping America safe in your opinion?" But no---silence.

12. You're pushing Snopes articles that are 1-2 years old. This is a NEW story

And unless you want to quibble over the word "regret", the story is more true than not.

This article shows the Nobel committee is nothing more than a political joke; look at their reluctance to give an award to a deserving Chinese dissident because it might make the Chinese govt uncomfortable

16. That must be this year's version of Pailin's Paul Revere story.

Neither one appears to want to let those awkward facts get in the way of telling a story.
