The "mainstream" press will be all over Fox News after this saying they were biased, etc.

Too bad it will all fall on deaf ears. Being Pro-American and supportive of the troops (one idiot critic said they used the term "our troops" too much and now O'Reilly is mocking that view) doesn't mean you can't report fact.

As opposed to other outlets (CNN) that report their version of the facts as it fits their preconceptions.

Like reporting this morning that "Saddam was very forceful in his language today" when everyone else was reporting "Where was Saddam? Thought he was coming on LIVE!"

As I like to tell classes, CNN claims to be the International network of record and that it has international correspondends not foreign correspondents, thus they can never again legitly broadcast a story going woe is me woe is me US dollar falls or US balance of trade deficit is terrible. Such stories do not fit with being a avowed non-American network.

Those media outlets don't get it and that is why they keep losing rating and subscriptions. Most of the American People are tried of their one sided news coverage and Fox News offers both sides and let us decide

Also keep in mind that Fox News is not in every city like CNN is.

My mother lives in Philly and didn't get Fox, we had to get her a satelite dish because we were afraid she would have a stroke from yelling at the bad coverage on CNN .. and my mother is a registered Democrat.
