OMGOODNESS!

Neil Cavuto, Sr. Business Editor and Anchor on FNC, apparently received an email from an "Ivy League Professor" chiding him for his "bias," telling him that a "real journalist" isn't supposed to be so obviously on the side of the United States in this conflict, telling him that he "betrays journalistic ethics" by so doing.

Cavuto stated that he wouldn't read the professor's name or affiliation, because what he was about to say in reply was so scathing and personal that he wanted to feel free to say it.

Then he LAUNCHED man!

Wish I had a transcript! In essence he told this elitist that he ought to be ashamed for benefitting from the freedom and liberty afforded by this country without showing the least amount of respect or gratitude for it.

If I can find Neil's words, I am GOING to post them! He was almost shaking, he was so angry, but he managed somehow to keep his composure! But he DRILLED this guy!

It was something to witness!

sounds more like he just had an argument with somoene who can't argue back. thats more cowardly than drilling.

Seems more like a guy wrote a letter telling the host how he feels about him, and the host rebutted the letter. That's how it works. It's not a hard concept.

I was so lucky to be watching FOX at the "moment of truth"
I wonder if the terminally degreed propagandist who masquerades as not only a journalist but also one who shapes them...plys his wiles at Columbia..
at "Joe Goebbles Skule Of Yellow Urinalism"
Neil....ya gotta love him...the troot hoits dont it proffesori?

And assuming the professor teaches a class or two, he has his own personal forum. Maybe not as many people, but as they're journalism students, it has its effect.

Besides, Cavuto let him have his say -- he read the letter.

Thanks, merrin. I was able to print it out. "Self-absorbed, condescending imbecile..." LOL. I love Cavuto.

[Vinnie]

He exactly identified the real problem with all these Leftist types: They believe that WE are the problem, and people like Kofi Annan are the solution.

And these are the people teaching the next generation.

Fox has been on 24/7 live since the war began. No shows are repeated.

"sounds more like he just had an argument with somoene who can't argue back"
My best guess is that, if the professor asks to do a face to face, Cavuto will be happy to oblige.

[MississippiMan]

OOOF.

Go Neil!

Fox has been great during the past week. Even O'reilly has made me proud.

Oh, man, I can't WAIT until they rerun that!

[Spiff]

Of course an American journalist should be "biased" in favor of America and its causes. Duh! Otherwise, they will "un-bias" themselves into no more freedom of the press, freedom of speech, etc. It is America which has built the world's largest and greatest media empires which employ the journalists, provide the freedoms and prosperity which the journalist enjoys, etc. Being "neutral" on causes American is a form of suicide - whether you are a journalist or whatever you may do as an American - including being an Ivy League professor.

See No. 24.

..."sounds more like he just had an argument with somoene who can't argue back. thats more cowardly than drilling."

No....I respectfully disagree.....

Professors like this loony are the biggest cowards of all, because they LIE their a**es off daily, professing to be objective AND knowledgegable, attacking the country that allows them their idiotic rantings, while benefiting from the fruits of the freedom we live under. (and often crying discrimination if anyone disagrees with them.)

He also completely *reamed* France yesterday

[Minty]

Thank you for posting this. Great writing.

[CyberAnt]

Naw! When people can express themselves that well with words, they are never the ones who have the coronary - it's the ones who feel that way and cannot express it that have the trouble.

I think we now know who was editing the Fox News ticker during the "Die-in" yesterday...

LOL.. Go Neil

[Califelephant]

Might wanna put some ice on that, professor

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't be surprised if his editorial is replayed on the show this evening. I've watched a lot of FoxNews lately, and some things do repeat. Just last night I caught parts of the O'Rielly factor repeated later. I think they do keep a lot of it live, then sneak in some snipets of tape too.
