OReilly can't buy a break
Now FAIR is about to rip his lying ass to shreds.

Serves the stupid ass right.

Wonder if Faux will sue Peter Hart too?

5. Good stuff
On my Amazon url I see:

Customers who shopped for this item also shopped for these items:
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken
The Lies of George W. Bush by David Corn
Big Lies by Joe Conason (Author)
Thieves in High Places by Jim Hightower, James Hightower

I would say this is the Quad-fecta!

7. His memo on the Faux News website is an embarrassment - check it out
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 04:56 PM by CogitoErgoDem
I'd be embarrassed if this appeared under MY name:

I wonder if The Times thought that Donald Sagretti was funny when he manufactured dirt to hurt Richard Nixon's political opponents. (Bill: it's S-E-G-R-E-T-T-I. Nice research.)

There's no question that many of the attacks launched against FOX personnel are designed to injury and demean.
(Note: I'm sure you mean "injure")

It's unfortunate, but in this country, if you're successful or famous, many courts will allow defamation, slander and liable to go unpunished.
(As NickDanger pointed out, its "libel")

But once again, that's not the issue here. The point is accountability. We are shining a spotlight on the haters and the enablers. You can decide if that spotlight is aimed in the right direction.
(Except that you've already decided who the "haters and enablers" are)

Talking Points cannot understand how people could side with the defamers and their pals. But it's important to know just who these people are.
(Franken hasn't exactly kept his identity a secret, Bill)

For as Don Corleone once said, "kept your friends close, but your enemies closer." (WHaaaaaa?? Do you even know what that means?)
:wtf:

13. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"...
... has been around much longer than Mario Puzo. It may be from Sun Tzu but doesn't appear in The Art of War.

What is certain, is that O'Reilly's a posturing putz.

26. "Keep your friends close..."
That's Macchiavelli. But then - I would bet that O'Reilly would reckon him to be another Mario Puzo character too. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he hardly has the mental capacity to be up and around.

15. wow, thanks for putting that up
further proof that the only place O'Really will be posting soon is the Freeper board where his fucked usage of the language will put him slightly above the fray.

25. "The point is accountability."
And that's what Al did to O'Really, held him accountable for lying about receiving a Peabody when in fact, he ain't got one. Al caught him in a lie big time.

Bye Bye Bill!

9. O'Reilly is a second rate Rush Limbaugh
As long as the right wing media keeps propping him up, people will listen to his lies. It's very sad.

12. Conservative readers
Well, it looks like conservatives don't read much. In amazon's top 100, there are 8 left wing books and only 2 right wing books. I guess they get their info only from the boob tube.

16. Don't bet on it
Go to any bookstore.
Check out the political science section.
Conservative books outnumber liberal books by about 4 to 1

19. That's because rich conservatives put the books out at a loss
Most conservative books are just propaganda tools and talking points for the believers. Rich conservatives are willing to lose a lot of money on the books just to get their message out.

Our side should learn from that and start doing the same.

23. But O'Reilly is really a satirist himself...
...as proved in this TV Review from the London Evening Standard, in April.

http://www.eveningstandard.co.uk/entertainment/stayingin/articles/4304022?source=Evening%20Standard

The reference to "The Day Today" is to a British spoof news programme during the mid-90's, in which the TV station pumped up the call for an unnecessary war until it started, and then changed the set in 2 seconds flat to the pre-prepared war studio, complete with talking head generals, embedded reporters, gung-ho anchormen, and so on.

Unfortunately it has now been outflanked by reality.
