E-Mail I sent O'Reilly
In 7 years you have never once reported on Sun Myung Moon and his ties to the Bush Family and the political right. The instant Rev. Wright becomes an issue, you don't hesititate one day in reporting it. This proves you are a bigger prostitute than the ones Elliott Spitzer was using.

O'Reilly Attacks Obama For Something His Pastor Said

# 3-13-08 -- Tonight O'Reilly spent half the show playing clips from the Pastor of Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright. Pastor Wright made what O'Reilly called un-American statements, and O'Reilly also said the Pastor hated America. Then O'Reilly linked those comments to Barack Obama, even though Obama denounced the comments in a statement.

O'Reilly discussed the comments in the talking points, and made it the lead story. Billy also claimed it was a big problem for Obama. I sure would like to know how, when Obama can not control what the Pastor says, and he said he disagrees with the statements the man made.

Then O'Reilly had 2 guests on, Juan Williams and Wendy Schiller to discuss it in the segment after the talking points memo. They both agreed with O'Reilly, and no guest was on to give the counterpoint.

Then O'Reilly did another segment on the comments with Dick Morris. And later in the show he did another segment on it with Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall. I would say 30 to 40 minutes of the show was devoted to the comments made by the Pastor of the church where Obama is a member.

Even though Obama has no control over what the Pastor of his church says, after all he has free speech rights. But O'Reilly tried to link his comments to Barack Obama anyway. Even after Obama put out a statement saying he does not agree with the Pastors comments.

The problem with these attacks on the Pastor of Obama is this, O'Reilly has never said a word about the crazy hateful comments from the Pastor for John McCain.

I think it is ok to report on the comments from Obama's Pastor, but if you do, then you better report on the crazy comments from McCains Pastor too. Which O'Reilly has not reported on, not done a talking points memo on, not made the lead story, and not done 40 minutes of the show on the story.

In fact, O'Reilly has not said a word about John Hagee, the Pastor for John McCain, not a word, not one, ever, in the history of the factor. And that story has been out for weeks, not to mention McCain actually accepted the endorsment of Hagee.

The best part was when O'Reilly said it was hypocrisy for the media to ignore the story. When he has done the exact same thing by totally ignoring the crazy comments made by John McCains Pastor.

On top of that the Obama Pastor story just broke today, how does he know the media will ignore the story. They might report on it tomorrow after they have had time to investigate it. The McCain/Hagee story has been out for weeks and O'Reilly has refused to cover it, that's real bias, and we know it.

After saying the media was biased by not reporting on it, later in the show O'Reilly predicted the media will report on the story tomorrow. Huh? How can you say the biased media will ignore the story one minute, then 5 minutes later predict they will report on it tomorrow?

If they report on it tomorrow then they are not ignoring it, and if they do, then you can not claim bias for not reporting a story if they report on it. It's too soon to claim bias, because the story just broke late today, yet O'Reilly did it anyway.

O'Reilly is so quick to claim liberal bias he can not even wait to see if they ignore the story or not. So he claims bias before they have even had a chance to report the story.

In the whole show not one person was on to defend Barack Obama, or to give his side of the story. The worst part is that O'Reilly has not done 1 second on the McCain Pastor story, let alone devote half the talking points memo to it, make it the lead story, or spend 40 minutes of the show talking about it, like he did with the Obama Pastor story.

NOTE: O'Reilly claims the media has ignored the story, and that it proves they have a liberal bias. When a simple google search shows that O'Reilly is a liar.

I found articles on the story out today, from ABC News, The NY Times, The National Review, Yahoo News, The Guardian, Slate, CBS News, The Washington Times, Raw Story, The Dakota Voice, and UPI. And I expect most (if not all) of the media will cover it tomorrow.

I also have an O'Reilly attacks Obama page, and an O'Reilly attacks McCain page.

www.oreilly-sucks.com/oreilly-mccain.htm

On the O'Reilly attacks Obama page I have 11 attacks listed, the O'Reilly attacks McCain page is, ummmmmm, BLANK.
