Question about O'lielly here:
Edited on Wed Jan-11-06 11:13 AM by stop the bleeding
His site says that all of the crap that they sell (ie:fear factor gear bag) is 100% made and manufactured here in the USA. How hard would it be to investigate this? I have tried some basic googling and had no luck. I ask this because if he was lying which we know he does about EVERYTHING, wouldn't it be a severe blow to his show if it was found out that it is NOT made/manufactured in the USA. Kind of like how he got busted by the blogoshere for having "Holiday" phrases on his site during the war on Xmas.

Any thoughts on this??

1. well, since practically nothing is made in the USA
anymore, I would sincerely doubt it.

2. Very few things are actually manufactured in this country BUY SOMETHING
Odds are, he's LYING, but I have no clue on how to find out if he is lying.

By buying something we could read the tags. The thing with that, he probably makes a profit.:(

3. I could not, in good conscience, actually buy anything
off of that site.

4. You could probably ask him
Send him a polite e-mail saying that you wanted to know what company manufactures his stuff and where they are located because you want to make sure you support that company by buying other products that they make.

See is he responds and what he says. Then you could probably follow-up.

I hope at least that is something he's not lying about.

Something to consider if you have no other options.

5. that is the best idea yet, not fool proof but it would be interesting to
see who/what companies he mentions....
