Resume Falsification of Radley Balko Exposed. Exaggerations A Common Tactic of the Left, Obama Acolytes.

Liberal (and ersatz libertarian) blogger and wanna-be pundit Radley Balko claims on his bio on his blog that he is a bi-weekly columnist for Forbes.com. But an investigation by the RLCIL demonstrates that Mr. Balko has taken extreme liberties — perhaps even license — with the term “bi-weekly.”

He makes his claim at, http://www.theagitator.com/about/, indicating, that, in addition to laboring over his poorly written blog, “I’m also a biweekly columnist with FoxNews.com.”

However, the claim is not bourne out by the evidence. We searched through the Forbes.com site, and could find only two URLs, from the summer of 2005, authored by Mr. Balko.

See,

You can check this out for yourself, dear reader. It is accurate as of 4:40 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, 10 February, 2009. We are sure he will remove the false claim momentarily.

Now, we wonder, can you take anything Radley Balko writes or says seriously, when he lies about his own resume? Wonder if his employers know about this?

In New Zealand, lying on you resume is an offense that can put you in gaol, as the hapless John Davy found out when he told amazing fibs on his resume so that he could run Maori Television.

Notably he claimed a degree from "Denver State University" which, of course, does not exist.

I'd be surprised if US Courts couldn't similarly gaol somebody for telling similar lies on their resumes. It is fraud, pure and simple.

US courts don't do that. Worst penalty is you get fired.

May be some exceptions when it comes to classified jobs with the government, or misrepresenting yourself to get into a Military Service academy (I've heard of folks getting kicked out and finding themselves owing the US government some money).

However, after 56,009 posts on FreeRepublic, it seems to me most of these "columnists" in the hard-copy press are elementally inadequate.

Radley Balko is a Libertarian with some liberal leanings, but is an excellent investigative reporter, who dots all his I's and T's.

I would definitely take his word over the Republican Liberty Caucus of Illinois any day of the week.

The resume currently says he is a bi-weekly columnist for FoxNews.

I agree that the resume should be correct, or possibly updated, but isn’t the RLCI response a bit hysterical?

From his website:

Yes, it was quite bold of me to claim a bi-weekly column for FoxNews.com when only two search results for my name turn up at Forbes.com. That’s some fine detective work, there, “Puma.”

Morons can’t even read their own source article.

They claim he works for forbes, the bio they quote says FoxNews. They search forbes to prove he is lying, except he doesn’t work there. Such a stellar little of blogdom.

Yeah - that’s some real quality research they’re doing over there at RCLIJ looks like.

It was also real smart of them to hotlink back to his site. Looks like he left them a nice ‘present’. LOL.

Boy, you and the Republican Liberty Caucus of Illinois (which I'm guessing you are involved with, since you seem to post so much stuff from that site) really stepped in this one, didn't you. I see that the RLCI has now done some airbrushing of history, since the page you linked to now says "Whoops! That Page Isn't Here".

It turns out that Radley Balko really is a biweekly columnist at Fox News. It's just that it's hard to discover that when you search the Forbes site instead of Fox News.

Pretty hilarious.
