I’ve noticed how many Hillaryites have made the trip to Fox News, because they are allowed on to state their case.
The other cable news channels are not fair and balanced, just lopsided towards a biased view.
Bill O’Reilly is a piece of garbage who will say whatever will get him ratings. I repeat, he is an absolute piece of trash and I have no respect for anyone who takes what he says seriously.
O’Reilly has conducted some very valuable interviews in his day. Personally, I wouldn’t trust any candidate that avoids him.
G.W. Bush has in the past refused to answer Helen Thomas questions, dismissing them as not legitimate. And that made him smart if anything, not untrustworthy.
Barack Obama is probably smart not to belly up to the Bill O bar of bluster if he feels that uncomfortable and doesn’t trust ‘the no spin zone’ that always has a spin and agenda to it regardless of the claim in that name.
I don’t like O’Reilly’s belligerence and temper. And I love the way Bill Moyers handled ambush interviews by O’Reilly’s people and got the better of them in videos I watched recently on You Tube.
Newsman should cover the news and not learn Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique to better sell their spin on the news as they report it as has been reported to be the case with Fox news. (Also covered in a You Tube video.)
In general, journalistic standards on TV and elsewhere need to be higher then they have been. And Bill O’Reilly has all to often been more a part of the problem then a solution in the mix of things.
It's sad. He should rebuke Colmes immediately; instead, it's shats and giggles as we laugh our way to the next election.
I'm done with Hannity.
“Bill is an idiot.”

Actually the most profound remark I’ve even found here!
Great to meet you as well.
I missed that Justa and I watched the program maybe it was when I popped into the kitchen for a few minutes how did Colmes accuse Sarah Palin of causing the Down Syndrome with her baby.
He is definitely an idiot. Kind of embarassing, actually.
i am with you, we enjoy him, knowing full well he is a self impressed buffoon. we laugh with him and at him, but he is fun.
snugs, Alan attacked Sarah Palin in his online blog. He had a page up where he said that she displayed poor prenatal care by traveling back to Alaska when her water broke. He said this reflected on her judgment.
When he got a LOT of criticism for it, and people pointed out to him that Downs Syndrome has nothing to do with prenatal care, he took the page down. His pathetic defense for his actions was that he took the page down because right-wing bloggers were being so vicious to him over this, and that he was just questioning Palin’s judgment in the same way that conservatives question Obama’s associations, etc.
Right, Alan. Associating and conspiring with Terrorists, Marxists and America haters = Electing with your doctor’s permission to fly home to have your Downs Syndrome baby. Same difference, totally equivalent issues.
So far as I have heard, Alan hasn’t brought this up on the TV show, hasn’t got the guts, I suppose. In fact H&C seem to be avoiding discussing Sarah Palin and her family issues and the left’s attacks on her at all. Maybe because Colmes is one of the perpetrators. I find Hannity gutless for not confronting him over this.

Palin has excellent chops as a “Maverick” in her own right. She overturned the corrupt, old boy republican network in Jeaunau. Only unlike McCain, she is a true conservative.
I’ll give him credit for knowing his business. However, when he’s wrong, he’s very wrong.
I still remember him insisting that W. should not have been out stumping for republican candidate in off-year election of ‘02. He claimed that it was undignified and unpresidential. Dubya did not take his advice and campaigned hard and successfully, he had big coattails that year.
O’Reily is still that sleazy little tabloid face man.
OReily is for Oreily and nobody else.
NOT lately, that's for darn sure !
Bill is ultimately a sexist. I’ve seen him in this mode a number of times. He’s also panting and pleading for an Obama interview.
That's a tad harsh. IMO, Bill O'Reilly is simply a loud-mouthed egomaniac who is not nearly as well informed on issues as he thinks he is.
Not harsh at all. He slandered the American soldiers who died in Malmedy by painting them as murderers rather than casualties. He’s a POS.
