I don't think it has ever occurred to O'Reilly he could be wrong about anything and certainly not about anything important. If he were the last conservative on earth he would still be screaming about equal time.

Let me tell you something about this O’Reilly character. In addition to being a far right commentator (who thinks Bush is a faint hearted liberal nanny), he is guilty of sexual harassment. A few years ago a reporter working for him filed a sexual harassment suit against him. In order to avoid the ignominy of his dirty laundry getting exposed in public, he agreed to settle the harassment suit out of court and paid the reporter an unspecified sum of money in the way of settlement.

Left, Centre, Right, who cares.. But Radicals are the scariest people who should be taken notice of.. Each Side has its version ( Left and Right ) and those should be considered as dangerous as those in other "Nations"... None tell "lies" just not the truth as it is.. So easy to disguise a statement taken out of context.. So be the media..

Please, stop watching, or discussing O'Reilly. I know you hate him, so do I. But feeding him more attention is just benefiting his advertisers.

He's a belligerent idiot who likes to talk sexy on the phone with women about Lufa. Case closed.

Try to stop listening to O'Reilly. I know you hate him, so do I. However, continually watching and discussing him just gives him more exposure, feeding his advertising, which feeds him and his ego.

We know his a belligerent idiot who likes to talk sexy with women on the phone about Lufas, while trying to be Mr. Morale on TV and radio. I'm surprised a man with sexual harrassment allegations is allowed to write a book for kids.

Anyway, try to let people know you will boycott anything that feeds O'Reilly.

Good luck!

The Net does have this bias..but who cares? I don't and very few people have ever accused me of being a Lib.All the medias have this bias because most of the participants in them are from Liberal laearning establishments and are more literate than us poor ,harmless rightwingers.:smile:

I stopped watching O'Reilly about a year ago, got very tired of how he interrupted
everyone as soon as they began to sound more intelligent and sensible than he, and that is 'very often'. They wonder why, and criticize the fact that democrats
won't come on their show, well, why should they, it's like jumping into a pool of
alligators, they're just waiting to eat you up, and 'again', won't give you a chance
to make your point, constantly interrupting so that they keep the upper hand.
Obama was very brave, and did go on with O'Reilly, and did fine, they disagreed
on most things, but O'Reilly did respect him.
Don't know how Colmes can stand it with them, but it is a job, and pays well I
suppose, and Hannity is the worst.

Well, it stands to reason that if the media content really is biased to a liberal slant, then that's what the viewers are willing to watch, listen, read. If they weren't successful in attracting viewers they wouldn't survive.

If there is a lack of conservative media outlets, then maybe he should put his money where his free-market loving mouth is, and start his own network. FNC won't miss one commentator, and a whole new network under his direction would expand the conservative media and make him a handsome profit.

But I suspect he's more talk than walk, and more rhetoric than anything else.

No to what? A new network? Diversity of opinion is a good thing, even when you don't agree with it.

There really isn't a "left wing" politico anymore and hasn't been for over 20 yrs. If anything, some of the news media may have a Liberal bias (as oppossed to a Conservative bis), but it's pretty well mainstream and "centerist" if anything.

As for the "extreme" right wing fringe. There's plenty of nutbars spewing hate and terror such as O'Reilly, Coulter, Ingrahm, Bennett, Gingrigh, Limbaugh, etc They tend to be more of the fist pounding the table top and stamping of their little feet type of "praise Jesus and pass the ammunition.

What is frightening is that 23% of Americans believe what they say is gospel (10 % of Canadians ascribe to the same garbage) and think there is a moslem under heir bed.

To put that in perspective. 36% of Americans believe their gov't had some kind of complicity in 9/11. It's a nation of paranoid "whack jobs"
