If McClellan would have objected to the way the Iraq campaign was handled, rather than the motives behind it, I wouldn’t have a problem. But insinuating some sinister action by the president doesn’t hold up, even though the far-left kooks love that. And that is where McClellan is living right now, in those very dubious [...]

“Really, at this point, Fox Business Network is not in any way a threat to CNBC. It’s not even, frankly, in the same universe with us.” – Jeff Zucker
I’m no media historian but I’ll stick my neck out by claiming Fox News didn’t invent thumping the competition as it thumps its own chest. However, it’s [...]

NPR has now picked up the O’Reilly-Olbermann flap I previously blogged on. What NPR adds to the picture is the White House is possibly running some interference. Is there a coordinated White House and Fox News attack against NBC?
Is MSNBC’s liberalism – Olbermann’s really – bringing down that network and taking sibling NBC down [...]

“If my child were killed in Iraq, I would blame the likes of Jeffrey Immelt.” – Bill O’Reilly
Oh yeah. When I think of who’s fault it is Americans are getting killed in Iraq I immediately sidestep Bush and key administration officials to point straight at Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE. Just when you didn’t think [...]

“You people are obviously pussies who can’t handle a real man. Bill’s awesome. He’s a straight shooter, and one of my favourite people in the biz. He’s always been really nice, and good to me.” – Rachael Marsden
Rachael Marsden and Bill O’Reilly have a couple things in common. Both are extreme right-wing screeches featured on [...]

Google Bill O’Reilly and the f-word. You’ll get a ga-zillion hits. Bill’s temper tantrum on Inside Edition is hard to escape so, rather than post yet one more video clip of Bill’s explosion, I’ll post 2 amusing responses plus Bill’s own sarcastic response.

A cable news junkie like I can get pretty jaded, particularly concerning Spin City: Fox News. So I found the viewpoint of Paula Garabedian Wall pretty interesting. She doesn’t get cable but had the occasion to take a friend’s advice to “watch Bill O’Reilly whom he [her friend] believes is the most truthful and factual [...]

Right-wing activist Brent Bozell’s Business & Media Institute spliced an audio clip of an NPR interivew with Al Gore to make it appear he was blaming the tragic Myanmar cyclone on global warming. Naturally, the Drudge Report helped spread the disinformation.
I’m sure everyone will be suitably shocked that conservative Fox News not only [...]

I hesitate to call Bill a liar. His gravity-sucking ego probably has the poor boy horribly deluded. Even so, it’s hard to explain his jaw-dropper of a defense of Dennis Miller’s post interview trashing of Hillary Clinton. Did I mention it was a “no spin” mugging?
Steve Young has the video and the details.

When (if?) Senator Obama appears on The O’Reilly Factor I have a question he can ask of host Bill O’Reilly. The gist of which is in this video courtesy of LiberalViewer:
WPvideo 1.10
It’ll keep O’Reilly from puffing up like a peacock as he scolds Obama for hiding from the news network Bill crows has been oh-so [...]
