Bill O'reilly about to attack Media Matters
On the Factor, O'Reilly is touting a segment on how the left has an organized campaign to "smear people". Anyone else watching? (Yeah I know, it's O'reilly") Anyways let's see how it goes. I don't know why David Brock puts up with this. It is getting ridiculous.

2. This is wonderful news

The jackass can always be counted on to give us publicity. Publicity is good. It brings people to sites like Media Matters, where people can see for themselves how fair they are in analyzing the distortions and lies of guys like O'Reilly.

I hope he talks about them every day.

3. i've said it many times, he's 5 years away from walking around
in "Levittown" in his bathrobe yelling at parking meters. I am convinced that O'lielly is a paranoid delusional that needs help.

4. 0'really is pissed that Media Matters calls him on his lies. His ratings
are dropping, his books sales are falling. He is a dipshit. Time for o'really to go away. Far away.

5. Wow it's bad
Bennett said nothing bad according to one guy.
Some stooge from FrontPageMag and another guy I don't know, both from the right. Where's Media Matters to defend themselves?

14. perhaps the fair and balanced Bill
chose not to invite anyone from MM? It makes perfect sense in faux world. Why are you torturing yourself?

16. Well of course
O'reilly has flat out stated he will never let Media Matters on his program or in Fox News studios. So yeah it was kind of a leading question by me.

9. Be happy. He has dropped all pretense. His head will soon explode.
Like Limbaugh. O'Reilly has finally crossed over to his true colors. His harassment case didn't do it, but it moved him in the Right direction. Won't be long now until he calls outright for censorship. Check it. At the least, Alien & Sedition Acts.

15. Remember when Limbaugh
had a TV show and during Clinton's first term was selling these clocks counting down the number of days left in Clinton's Presidency..Well ...imagine this, Clinton was re-elected the clock sales went by the wayside and so did Slimeball's TV show..My point is Oliely is deperate and pulling all the stops trying to get higher rating..

10. Why do you watch bill instead of Keith?
They are both on at the same time. I would much rather watch Keith.

11. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you...
then they fight you, then you win.

We appear to be at stage three.

12. I'm sure Media Matters will have an item on it
Boy the same old stuff. Laksin, the guy from FrontPage claimed the right doesn't have anything like Media Matters because they don't need to smear anybody to make their point. Their basic argument was that Media Matters only attacks people for saying stuff they disagree with.

18. That was a funny segment
My favorite part was when O'Reilly glowered at the camera and mentioned that George Soros, who is helping fund "smear web sites," has his money "in Curacao," so that his minions know they're not supposed to travel there.

Time to book my trip to Curacao.

19. Might as well, Cancun's not looking to hospitable.
I'm supposed to spend a week in Cancun in April for a friends wedding. I wonder if they'll change the destination.
