Great story by David Cole, attorney and guest on the show.

"I sat in the Washington studio as the taping of the show began in New York with a rant from Bill O'Reilly. He claimed that "the Factor" had established the link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, and then played a clip from Thomas Kean, head of the Senate's 9/11 Commission, in which Kean said, "There is no evidence that we can find whatsoever that Iraq or Saddam Hussein participated in any way in attacks on the United States, in other words, on 9/11. What we do say, however, is there were contacts between Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Iraq, Saddam--excuse me. Al Qaeda."

But suddenly O'Reilly interrupted, plainly angry, and said, "We can't use that.... We need to redo the whole thing." Three minutes of silence later, the show began again, with O'Reilly re-recording the introduction verbatim. Except this time, when he got to the part about Kean, he played no tape, and simply paraphrased Kean as confirming that "definitely there was a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda." The part about no link to 9/11 was left on the cutting-room floor.

That didn't convince O'Reilly, however, who again criticized the Times for misleading its readers by terming the detainees innocent and not dangerous. I replied that he was misleading his own viewers, by exaggerating what the Times had said.

Apparently O'Reilly does not like being called "the pot." He exploded, repeatedly called me an "S.O.B." and assured me that he would cut my accusation from the interview when the show aired. "

4. Don't confuse him with the facts, the man has his mind made up.

Isn't it interesting how these snarky dweebs are always totally gung-ho war, any war, any time, I mean, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT IT.

Makes you wonder what they lack that war fever compensates for . . .

12. Bill O'Liely was on last nite.....

Said straight faced that Michael's movie has been "THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED" from top to bottom.

I find it amazing he can be good once in a while...possibly only by accident....and then say the pure lies like he does. He could be psychotic or simply going along with the psychotic program format.

I heard on the radio today with Franken that he talked recently to Alan Colmes about why he was saying some off the wall (almost neoconic) things on his show...and he evidently said it was part of some "program goof".....but what came through to my ears was that there is no doubt many insidious programming things going on at Fox.
