O'Reily talks a big game, but he doesn't really go after anybody of any importance (in person). And considering the stories about Murdoch brokering a truce between Fox and Obama, I'm willing to bet that O'Reily actually gives Obama a pretty favorable interview tonight.

Bottom line is, he's a coward, and won't really go hard against Obama (and more importantly, Murdoch). He might ask one or two questions about issues like Ayers or Wright, but he'll give him easy outs in the way he'll phrase those questions.

1. Agreed
Bill-o will treat him the same way as he treated Michael Moore. Obama will win the moment but Bill-o will call it a draw and say it was a fair debate.

2. Article about Obama - Murdoch
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/03/uselections2008.barackobama

Interesting. I felt all along that Murdoch might do this, after his comments earlier in the year. While it seems Ailes has the final word about just what goes out on Fox, Murdoch can still be a powerful ally in many ways.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

3. Whatever Murdoch does, Obama and the Dems need to crush Fox & the other majors

They're nothing but PR shops for their corporate owners.

Many of the problems we have are due to their uniform misinformation, lack of coverage and distortion
of the issues. They need to be hammered and called out for what they are - the most negative force in
our society today. They enable all the other negative trends.
