Except you aren't. You're just trying to distract from what the thread was originally about. As far as Haditha is concerned, yes, Olbermann has covered, but he hasn't gone after the troops. He has covered the problems with leadership and potential cover-up, which, as General Batiste pointed out, is not something the soldiers could have done.

Why? O'Reilly already apologized for his mistake.

he did? when?

link?

He didn't, and it's too late now. Queasy is as misinformed as O'Reilly.

Yeah that is what I thought. You cant call that half ass "your heard me incorrectly I meant AFTER the Malmedy massacre..." BS an apology. I am just amazed that people like Queasy bought it all hook line and sinker. Foxnews is shameless for allowing the transcripts to inaccurately report what he actually said. What a joke.

Haditha Massacre

Just the headline is enough.

Also, Olberman ran a story about the Libby case once. In it, they cut out the part of the Fitzgerald investigation that said Libby was allowed to leak portions of the NIE assessment. The insinuation being that Libby was ordered to leak everything about Plame. Olberman never ran a correction on that as far as I know.

I bring this up not to distract but to point out that before you start riding Olberman around on your shoulders, you need to realize that he and O'Reilly are cut from virtually the same cloth. Which is why I watch neither.

FYI, the supposed "coverup" was not done by fox, as the trasncript was done by the same company that does the transcripts for CNN and (gasp) MSNBC.

not saying oreilly was wrong for what he did, but I don't think there was any kind of coverup for what he did.

Yes. I've already said this twice and it has been ignored. Voxant also provides the same services for Olberman's employer, MSNBC.

If Keith is accusing Fox of covering up, which is obviously not true, would that be considered slander?

 

[BW86]

holy sh!t, he really did own him...

 

[five40]

How is this fvcking news? He spent 7 mintues blabbing about another reporter. He needs to get a life. Isn't there some real news to report?

LOL! I just read your link there. The very first paragraph states:

This is a partial transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," May 30, 2006, that has been edited for clarity.

meaning, this isn't even the actual transcript developed by the third party Voxant Inc., HAHAHA the ability of Fox to be soo devious is astounding!! and people don't see it. How sad.

So basically what happens is Foxnews gets a hardcopy transcript of the show. In the hardcopy O'reilly gets quoted accurately. Fox then takes that hardcopy and posts excerpts of it on the website with the "edited for clarity" notation. hell of a cover up. And it is dastardly. Foxnews is no more of a news source then the National Enquirer.

 

[ballmode]

Man I'm not gonna watch that assclown anymore

DOWN WITH OREILLY

 

[Shame]

Are the P&N forums broken? :disgust:

 

[Sqube]

Queasy, I see the point that you're trying to make.

I would just like to take this opportunity to state that what O'Reilly did is not any less reprehensible because there's somebody else out in the world just as bad as he is. Or are you trying to say that he can't criticize because he has done the same thing?

I mean... the fact that Olberman is an ass shouldn't preclude him from being able to state that O'Reilly is an ass. And if O'Reilly wants to turn right around and point out examples of Olberman's hypocrisy, he should be more than welcome to do so.

However, none of this invalidates the fact that O'Reilly was about as wrong as wrong could be, and never fessed up to it in a clear, unequivocal fashion. The closest he ever came was saying that he was misunderstood, which is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.

FVCKING PWNED!!!!!!!

I love how Olberman at the end was about to just lose it with anger.

I just pissed myself and I'm not even 30 seconds in.

 

[Syringer]

There are more important news stories out there to be reported, the more attention he draws to O'RLY and the more time he spends on him..to an audience that obviously is not watching O'RLY makes me lose respect for him. Do it on a blog or something, no reason to waste a segment on him..

 

[preslove]

While Olberman IS annoying, he is no way close to Oreilly. The big-o is dis-fvckin-gusting.

 

[nonnormman]

Olberman is not funny and his show is tanking.
