Peas in a pod: In LA Times op-ed, O'Reilly producer misrepresented IU study to defend host
http://mediamatters.org/items/200705110001?f=h_top

Summary: In attempting to discredit an Indiana University study about Bill O'Reilly's name-calling, Ron Mitchell, producer of The O'Reilly Factor, claimed that "the researchers admit they had to make several changes to their 'coding instrument' ... until the results fit the preconceived notion of name-calling on the Factor." In fact, the changes were done in pre-testing in order to deliver accurate results for the study, not to make O'Reilly look worse.
