MSM is at it again. O'Reilly is wrong about FR, but he is only part of this equation.

[Pyro7480]

Bad link about to earlier Newsbusters post. It should be look like this: Less than a half-hour after Kiran Chetry and Roland Martin speculated whether O’Reilly’s recent comments on race would be the next "Imus Moment," the cast of MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" mocked the Fox News host.

O’Reilly needs a moderator.

I treated him to dinner because he's made himself available to us, and I felt that I wanted to take him up there. And we went to Sylvia's, a very famous restaurant in Harlem. I had a great time.

OH MY GOD!! THE NERVE OF HIM!!!

Was BOR expecting soul food?

[VR-21]

It started with Howard Cosell.

[BallyBill]

Maybe BOR can hope all the friends he has made will come to his defense.

These people want to control everything you say. Personally, I watch neither of these networks because I object to their political bias. In addition to being biased and underhanded, they’re probably intensely jealous of O’Reilly’s ratings.

You know Americans are winning when the jackasses in the so-called “media” start taking potshots at each other instead of taking potshots at us.

[South40]

Also, using the term 'blacks.’ I don't think anybody's said that since like 1973."

The word is said almost every day in my house and I am Black.

Well I think it was Churchill that said :

“if you stop to sail a rock at every dog that barks at you
you’ll never finish your journey...”

BOR sounds foolish in that clip. But really why does anyone care. WHy does the MSM chuck rocks at him for this ?

Guess they just have to FIND something to bloviate about while they’re trying to gain relevance !

Of all the things, perhaps morning joe could stop kissing Hilliary’s posterior long enough to actually check to see if Hsu’s money is actually “returned to the donors or given to charity”?

I used to like Scarborough, now he is sort of pitiable really.

[clintonh8r]

Was Joe this stupid before he became a liberal?

note to Geist: I always say "black." African American is a waste a syllables. In addition to being inaccurate. Unless you're talking about an American citizen who was actually born in Africa.

Indeed. I you are obviously not *black enough !

*err, of sufficient internal pigmentation.

[George W. Bush]

So many drama queens, so little time...

Good point. What about us Jamaican-Americans? My family is from Jamaica, not Africa.

[Crawdad]

Don’t those goobers know they’re just going to make more people watch BOR? What complete moe-rons.

[George W. Bush]

The word is said almost every day in my house and I am Black.

Maybe I'm just not keeping up but my recollection is that "African-American" only started to be used much in mainstream media in the Nineties. Not the Seventies. Is my memory going or what?

[biscuit jane]

“note to Geist: I always say “black.” African American is a waste a syllables. In addition to being inaccurate. Unless you’re talking about an American citizen who was actually born in Africa.”

I say black because I have eliminated hyphenated Americans from my word-diet. I also use other color descriptions when relevant.

When I was in West Africa was I an American-African ??

No.

[South40]

Who is African American?
Since 1977, the United States officially categorized Black people (revised to Black or African American in 1997) are classified as A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa..[1] Other Federal offices, such as the United States Census Bureau and the adheres to the OMB standards on race in its data collection and tabulations efforts.[47] The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation also categorizes Black or African-American people as "A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa" through racial categories used in the UCR Program adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) and published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce derived from the 1977 OMB classification.[48]
