This has to be the best example I've ever seen of of why referring the O'Reilly Factor as "The No Spin Zone" is laughable. This is utterly RIDICULOUS!
I found this clip at BraveNewFilms which is a "far left" site according to O'Reilly. Of course anything that's not right of center or blatantly conservative seems to be labeled as "far left" by him. Also, here's a brief recap of how this all started:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxAPf2x96I0&NR=1And the movie Outfoxed that O'Reilly refers to is a must see:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/outfoxed/PS---For non-boring Super Tuesday coverage, check out www.theyoungturks.com and or
http://bravenewfilms.org/network . They will be simulcasting awesome progressive coverage with TYT and other co-hosts (in the past it's been Wes Clark Jr, Christy Harvey of MicCheckRadio.org, Robert Greenwald of BNF and more). If you watch at BraveNewFilms there are some cool features such as live blogging, live polling (of viewers) and a live chat. And as always, they have awesome progressive guests (and yes, even some MSM guests), ranging from Sam Seder to people from DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake, Campaign For America's Future, The Nation, Newsweek and many, many more.
Seriously though, just watching the election coverage through the TV Talking heads is a questionable prospect (I doubt they'll be especially honest, insightful or funny). Even the NPR coverage, while informative, can be dry and boring. And the TYT/BNF coverage gives you up to date poll results on election days because they can see what ALL of the networks are saying rather than just the *one* network you would normally watch.
The New Hampshire coverage reached over 50,000 viewers, so clearly people are responding to this new format. Support progressive programming if you really are tired of the mainstream media!
