Oh by the way, some more interesting articles for you folks. I love how the standard Clinton-bashing conservative line is that he is a "draft dodger." Well it's no surprise that the words "draft dodger" have never slipped past Bill O'Reilly's lips.

WOW! I'm stunned. That was one worthless article. Basically, he's just attacking O'Reilly's character because he avoided going to Vietnam - LEGALLY, I might add. Then he parades around the fact that O'Reilly isn't a hypocrite about Clinton's draft-dodging, and tries to make that into a bad thing. My uncle was in 'Nam, and let me tell you, if he had the opportunity to avoid the war legally, he would have. And he surely wouldn't argue against anyone that was able to stay away. Let me tell you, he's a shell of his former self by any account.

I won't call you "unpatriotic" or an "America hater" just because you don't like Foxnews, so do your side of the argument a favor and don't put filth like this out to back it up.

Before you make any argument against this, tell me how this damages O'Reilly's credibility or how it makes him more conservative, especially considering that the author groups him with the "despised liberal elite."

Yeah O'Riely didn't avoid going to Viet Nam like Rush Limbaugh did because that Bag of Hot Noxious Gas Limbaugh had an Anal Cyst.

By the way, are you agreeing with what I said or disagreeing. I couldn't tell.

Yeah, but the argument couldn't be made that he would have been in any condition to go even if he didn't have the cyst. I doubt he would've passed the physical.

Excellent argument, boys. The three of you gang up and the best thing you can come up with is that I must not know what I'm talking about because I don't watch american TV news? I'd say that gies me the best possible perspective on Fox, as I haev, unlike most on this forum, experienced a variety of other news sources which lets me compare Fox news to what I deem to be an unbiased news source.

If YOU deem it so, then it MUST BE!!

I would like to know where exactly you get your news from that isn't biased.

I don't think he was a fat ass when he was 18. In fact isn't he somewhat more svelte now that he married that Gold Digger who was an Athletic Trainer or was she married to an Athletic Trainer whom he stole her from??

Earlier this week, Media Watch International /HonestReporting sent you a communique about the British Guardian's unfair, biased reporting.

On behalf of 12,000 members of HonestReporting, we want to thank the Guardian for taking note of the wave of emails that were sent this week protesting our observation of anti-Israel bias in your publication.

However, we were disappointed, too. Rather than answer our charges of media bias, the Guardian ignored the message and attacked the messenger -- calling the HonestReporting emails " bizarre... inconvenient... scary," and referring to some HonestReporting members as "extremists

seems like a jump to my mind as well.

In an unusual move, Canadian publishing magnate Conrad Black publicly attacked one of his own columnists for expressing a hatred for Israel that Black described as "irrational and an offense to civilized taste."

Leigh did not respond to inquiries. Guardian policy does not permit journalists to speak to the media about the newspaper.

wtfu is THAT all about koni?


Notice the BBC is listed in that second article, and there have been 3 other links provided that substantiate the claim tey are biased as well. Where are the ones for American media, at least Fox? Still waiting..... let me save you some trouble, every side of every issue is dissected by american media, liberal and conservative, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of independent reports and perspectives. Seems like the foreign press is far more homogenic in it's coverage.

More truth in media & FOX deceit

"Truth"? LOL, Ian Masters doesn't even know the definition of monopoly!

The only "truth" to be gleaned from that editorial is Ian Masters' distaste for freedom of speech using terms such as "undemocratic"! Masters' mourns the abolition of the "fairness doctrine" which denied broadcasters the right to editorialize their opinions on the air! This is great stuff Kirk, keep it coming!

Beleive what you choose, but there are differences between fact and HYPE

This is silly. There are NO fair & balanced outlets. That's why you have to sift through as many as you can, and that is why everyone can find a link to back up their point if they dig enough. A lot of people will not accept a source at all if they think it disagrees with their viewpoint. We pick and choose our truths. Some more than others, but we all do. When one can admit to that, then they can start to dissect things better because you have to be aware of your own bias and reasons for it. If you can't get past that then you might as well bury your head in the sand.
