King of Sleaze outdoes himself

Geraldo must be proud of himself. This is better than him reporting being near a friendly fire incident when, in fact, he was 300 miles away. Better than him drawing maps of U.S. troop movements on live TV. Better than him shoving aside a rescue worker to pose aiding a woman in a wheelchair. Better [...]

Bill O’Reilly: A case study in right-wing data mining

So, it seems like Obama has everything going his way right now. The Bush administration is unpopular, the economy is tanking and his opponent is 71 years old. Yet, according to Gallup tracking polls this week, Obama and McCain are tied. – Bill O’Reilly

O’Reilly continues to flak for Bush

“Today in America there is a ‘vast left wing media conspiracy,’ no question. Overwhelmingly, the press has made a sharp left hand turn even as there is little traffic in the right hand lane.” – Bill O’Reilly (emphasis added)
Here we go again. “No spin” O’Reilly conveniently fights hard for the right once more. Hypocritically whining [...]
