Tony Snow covered for O'Reilly last night. I did not watch. How did Snow handle the vets?

I didn't watch either, but saw some comments on threads, here, while the show was playing. I have the impression that Tony gave the matter a fair showing - open minded, need more time for facts to emerge, that sort of attitude.

many thanks for update

I'll settle for any of the shows giving the matter a fair hearing, instead of the hosts calling the matter a hoax, a fraud, pack of lies, or rudely not letting the vets get a word in edgewise or otherwise.

The disgust that FNC has for the Swift Boat Vets is palpable. Every show (save Hannity where both sides are presented) I watched took it for granted that they are lying with intimations that they are right-wing funded nut jobs. Even Snow's show had a man on whose last words were this. (Paraphrasing) If you are going to have people come out and make accusations about Kerry's patriotism at the very least they should have served aboard the same boat, these guys were NOT EVEN in the same DIVISION.

This defense doesn't hold water when we all know that these guys sleep in the same place, eat in the same place, drink etc all in close proximity. Much as firefighters do in a FIRE STATION. However this is the defense that is being raised AND NOT questioned, just parroted by FNC and other media outlets.
