Newsbusters sees all, we record all. Here’s Alan Greenspan’s better half, trying hard to conceal her disdain for O’Reilly and not succeeding while insisting that left-wing bias at NBC News is nothing but a figment of his wingnut imagination. Click the image of Keith Olbermann sieg heiling behind a Bill O mask to find out how it’s all in your head.

Mitchell either lives alone in a dark closet, is hopelessly naive, or is a chronic liar. Does she really think that the public is stupid enough to swallow the nonsense shes’ spewing?

I heard OReilly on XM earlier with Mitchell. BOR was actually cordial to her even though she was lying through her teeth.
Bill was incredulous when she said that Chris Matthews was not biased, and that she couldn’t think of a single liberal in the MSM.
The best one was when she told Bill that neither ABC, NBC or CBS had biased newscasts. When Bill asked about Fox, she wouldn’t answer directly whether she thought it biased but said there were biased commentators there.
What a loon. And they wonder why their ratings continue to sink. Hell, even the liberals don’t believe them anymore.
BacaDog on January 5, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Maybe its just me, but Mitchell looks like she has a broom up her backside.

GT on January 5, 2007 at 10:43 PM
Is it me, or does she look like F. Murray Abraham in drag?
Watcher on January 5, 2007 at 10:44 PM
Yep, because they’ve gotten away with it for so long. Think how many people, especially older folks, that only watch the TV news once a day, Monday through Friday, and that is their only exposure to what’s going on in the world. It was enough to give the Dhimicrats the election. As long as the MSM keeps their wagons circled, and support each other (just as the wire services do with A(w/t)P and Reuters), a large portion of the population will remain clueless.
Remember, by definition, half of the population is below average in intelligence. Guess which party they vote for (Hint: Go look at Kos).
rmgraha on January 5, 2007 at 10:45 PM
Well I guess that settles it then.
Sorry to raise such a fuss.
billy on January 5, 2007 at 10:49 PM
And by the way, AP, thanks. We finally don’t have to look at the Olberidiot on the side bar, so you put his picture in the video box. Oh, well…
I do have a question about your sidebar ads — There always seem to be a lot of anti-conservative ads on the Hot Air site. Are they the pay-per-click type, where HA earns money for each time the ads are accessed? If so, I want to start earning money for Hot Air! Please let us know.
rmgraha on January 5, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain… She living in fantasy world called “Alexbaldwinia”.

If I remember correctly, it was the week of the Iraqi “blue-finger” elections when Andrea was on “Washington Week”. Gwen Ifill leads her in with “Well, Andrea, there’s no good news from Iraq…”
“That’s right, Gwen, there’s absolutely no good news from Iraq this week…”
Yea, there’s absolutely no bias on Andrea’s part.
eeyore on January 5, 2007 at 10:59 PM
Really good question. I don’t click on it if it is Olberturd or the Anti KFC ad. Hate the turd, love the bird.
R D on January 5, 2007 at 11:05 PM
Is it me, or does Mitchell look like F. Murray Abraham with a broom up his backside?
In drag.
Mibrilane on January 5, 2007 at 11:06 PM
Is it me, or was F. Murray drunk, or possibly under the influence of quaaludes?
Jaibones on January 5, 2007 at 11:14 PM
What was that last comment about Shep being thrilled? The meterosexual Shepard Smith may be liberal? Who knew?
R D on January 5, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Careful with the bird ad — it’s a PETA ad in disguise (which is why, if they pay Hot Air for each click, I want to give them a lot of clicks).
rmgraha on January 5, 2007 at 11:19 PM
Umm, Keith “Heil” Olbermann is cable news, not network news, so that example, at least, isn’t the best.
NPP on January 5, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Mitchell said elsewhere in the segment that “NBC” incorporates not just NBC Nightly News but the Today show, MSNBC, etc.
Allahpundit on January 5, 2007 at 11:23 PM
“bubble broad”
Mojave Mark on January 5, 2007 at 11:35 PM
That’s why I want to know who gets the click pay. Hate peta, Love KFC. I really don’t want to know the details of where my food comes from, just want it in the store.
R D on January 5, 2007 at 11:36 PM
Bill challenged Andrea on her every statement denying NBC’s bias. I don’t expect she could do anything less as she has to work with those guys. I believe Bill when he says she is not biased in her reporting as I have not watched network news in ten years.
Even at that, I don’t need Andrea’s opinion in order to make an informed judgement on the MSM’s bias towards progressive issue’s. It is clear that they are biased and they have learned how to package it for sale to those who do not want to think about the news they get on a nightly basis.
csdeven on January 5, 2007 at 11:41 PM
I’m not sure what would give anyone the idea that MSNBC is biased.
Slublog on January 5, 2007 at 11:43 PM
She could not bring herself to say Fox was unbiased. This woman is a tool. I have no intention of buying her book.
Glynn on January 6, 2007 at 12:01 AM
Does Alan Greenspan believe this fantasy?
Ayn Rand just turned in her grave…

Andrea can toe the company line and stonewall all she wants. When the Andy Rooneys of the world die off, people will get their news in a different way and we are forging that new future. Courage.
Buck Turgidson on January 6, 2007 at 12:18 AM
I saw the entire segment – in my opinion O’Reilly teed her up like a Titelist golf ball and pulled out the BIG DRIVER. FORE! 350 down the middle! He knows that she is as bad as anyone on NBC – except of course Matthews and KO. Judging from the wrinkles in her Botox she knew that her ars was sitting on a tee – not a stool.
Now the best segment of his show tonight was the Dem lady with the 6 inch teeth (forgot her name). Bill shows a tape of the Black Caucus giving Jefferson a standing O. Her highly regarded comment? “Blacks have a different idea about crime – because of the oppression….. Oh boy – she got SLAPPED!
And I didn’t know that she was a part time sociologist!
iam7545 on January 6, 2007 at 12:25 AM
I watched it when it aired. In her answers, she implied Fox was the only network that was biased. This was after denying Chris Mathews is biased left.
Yet maintained a completely straight face. I don’t know if it was funny or creepy.
Buck Turgidson on January 6, 2007 at 12:28 AM
When Bill kept saying “It’s not your fault…” I kept expecting to see a replay of that scene from Good Will Hunting.
DaveS on January 6, 2007 at 12:39 AM
Perhaps both. Perhaps we need the Little Richard commercial for Mitchell’s struggle with reality.
Emmett J. on January 6, 2007 at 1:35 AM
I’ve always preferred Bernard Goldberg’s reasoning behind media bias: reporters don’t think they’re biased because they are insulated from non-liberal thinking. They think their opinions are completely down the middle. It explains why they see no bias in their own product yet see rampant bias at Fox (which does slant conservative most of the time).
When you work in an office where everyone believes exactly what you believe, you begin to think a lot of people feel that way. When you hit the social scene and all of your friends believe it too, you start to believe that it is a majority opinion.
mhexel on January 6, 2007 at 1:47 AM
People she is not lieing. It is, however untrue that the MSM is biased, but she actually believes they are not. Listen to the way she says “We are journalists.” She sees herself and other journalists as something that is above political slants. Like phycopath that feels that they transend these primitive ideas of good and evil. (No Im not calling her a psycopath, just showing a relation to the abstract thinking of these people.) Like “I cant be racist, Im a minority.”

MirCat on January 6, 2007 at 2:11 AM
grr I mean it is untrue that the MSM is NOT biased
MirCat on January 6, 2007 at 2:11 AM
What fantasy camp is she living in!?!
CP on January 6, 2007 at 2:12 AM
Good grief. For a second I thought that was Bill Maher. WTF did he do to his hair..oh nevermind.
austinnelly on January 6, 2007 at 2:47 AM
Look at the contempt on her face…if she hates Bill so much, why come on the factor? oh, that’s right, Fox is kicking NBC’s butt in the ratings, hold your enemy close I guess…
JustTruth101 on January 6, 2007 at 2:56 AM
“No, we aren’t biased…no no….NBC, ABC, CBS…we aren’t biased…”
“What about FOX?”
“Well…”
She has to tout the liberal media party line.
What a hack Andrea is.
Bill should have run snippets of liberal bias to hammer it home.
Black Adam on January 6, 2007 at 3:11 AM
a quick search on ‘andrea mitchell’ over at Malkin’s blog reveals her giddily calling Obama a “rockstar” and dishonestly reporting on that “staged” Bush Q&A with troops, not mentioning for 2 minutes of a 3 minute report that Bush and troops say it isn’t true (not to mention that the “story” wasn’t true anyway, and shouldn’t a major news organization have been able to figure that out?). I don’t know why O’Reilly repeatedly licked her boots (not sure if AP includes that part in the clip above, I watched it on TV) saying he couldn’t find one example of her being biased. I’ve emailed him to tell him to get a clue, I suggest others do the same…. keep it pithy if you wish to opine.
RightWinged on January 6, 2007 at 3:30 AM
To bad O’Reilly didn’t ask Andrea about the biases of this NBC correspondent.
Ed Driscoll on January 6, 2007 at 3:34 AM
she said fox news isn’t biased. Kinda look like she was getting a little … sick to her stomach trying to say it with a straight face.
“there is no bias in the network news”
yeah, I think … I just threw up … in my mouth… a little…
One Angry Christian on January 6, 2007 at 4:04 AM
Mr. Bill O’Reilly really can “bloviate” at times, by his own admission.
In this case, he nailed it.
It’s a beautiful thing to watch leftist media whore stuttering and stumbling to find a response to what I see as some very legitimate and pertinent questioning.
You can see with her facial expressions/body language that she is having a heck of a time talking out of both sides of her mouth at the same time.
Refreshing.
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 4:59 AM
P.S. Off topic, but still, I haven’t seen Puritan1426 comment in a while, and we’re the worse for it. Where are you, Mr. P.? (not sure about the #’s, but close, I think.)
Thank you AP for allowing me to participate in this magnificent forum, and a belated Happy New Year to you, Michelle and everyone else at HotAir who make this the best place to be on the ’sphere.
I’ll be praying daily for HotAir Expeditionary Force.
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 5:09 AM
Bill Oh Looked like a total idiot or more than usual.
“We checked you out and YOU are OK, not a bit of bias”.
Than admits he has it OUT for NBC. ha ha, what is that? Insanity, Hyprocricy, Hubris.
Bill oh points at people and says “You have Matt, Meredith, Ann and that weather Guy (surprised he did not point out he’s black and was really fat at a time)”…. “They are all liberals!” Bill shouts. It’s about journalism and professionalism, sticking to the facts regardless of personal opinion, which Bill is not familiar with. What a tool.
He’s losing it with this hyper LEFT WING LIBRIAL MAIN STREAM MEDIA Rant and Rave. “Liberal bias” at NBC may be a 2, may be a 2.5 on a scale of 10, but Bill is turning the bull up to a FULL Spinal Tap ELEVEN.
gmcjetpilot on January 6, 2007 at 5:25 AM
I thought it interesting that Ms. Mitchell could not name 1 conservative thinking person at nbc news….
robo on January 6, 2007 at 5:40 AM
Mr. O’Reilly uses the technique of agreeing with a couple of minor points with his guest (opposition) in order to make them feel some measure of comfort, and then he unloads either with unanswerable questions or a righteous rant. It’s what he does, and does effectively. Look at his ratings.
In this particular case, I think he did a magnificent job. Ms. Mitchell is, and never has been anything else than, a left-wing mouthpiece. He’s losing it with this hyper LEFT WING LIBRIAL MAIN STREAM MEDIA Rant and Rave. “Liberal bias” at NBC may be a 2, may be a 2.5 on a scale of 10, but Bill is turning the bull up to a FULL Spinal Tap ELEVEN.
you show yourself to either be either liberal yourself, out of touch with reality, or inordinately hateful to a very successful personality with whom you disagree.
You have the right to say what you feel, and I have the right (and the responsibility) to strongly disagree.
Regards,
With this:
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 5:46 AM
Shoulda been blockquotes around: “He’s losing it… spinal tap ELEVEN.”
Sorry, I could have sworn I got it right. Goes to show what a dumb old hillbilly knows.
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 5:50 AM
The way I indended it was: With this:
you show yourself to either be either liberal yourself, out of touch with reality, or inordinately hateful to a very successful personality with whom you disagree.
I’ll get it RIGHT one of these days; thank you for your patience.
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 5:56 AM
The ads at the top of the sidebar are Blogads, and they’re pay for placement, not pay per click. But when they’re moonbat ads, click them anyway and just don’t buy or donate anything. Or spend too much time with Olberdouche. Lefties LOVE it when you just stop buy for a visit.
Pablo on January 6, 2007 at 7:03 AM
I think it would further the debate on this if O’Reilly et al would stop saying “liberal” and say “Democrat” instead. Not all Democrats are liberals, ya know. Most of them are moderates and some are even conservatives. Chris Matthews is probably a some what conservative guy, but he has an obvious bias against the Bush administration and especially Dick Cheney.
The media doesn’t have as much liberal bias as it does Democratic bias.
Seixon on January 6, 2007 at 7:22 AM
Are you kidding?? I click on the olberman link all the time. It takes what little money they have over there and funnels it to Michelle to buy more photoshop bikinis.
Mmmmmmmm…. photoshop bikini….. *drool*
Ringmaster on January 6, 2007 at 7:45 AM
Under which definition of “moderate” and “conservative” do ‘Rats fall under? They want socialism, “free” abortions on demand, taxes on those aspiring to be rich so high they’re driven out of existence, mass transit to replace the automobile, the list goes on and on. That’s the definition of “liberalism” in either the pre/post-Communism eras or Communism era.
steveegg on January 6, 2007 at 7:50 AM
Well at least she said there are some people at FOX who are conservative thinkers. But Nope nobody At any of the other news agencys have people who are liberal.
That’s good to know!
Fandango on January 6, 2007 at 8:05 AM
I don’t think Andrea Mitchell is lying. I think she absolutely believes that the major networks are unbiased in their reporting. She probably does believe that the MSM reporting is straight down the middle, the middle of political thought being the positions presented by the New York Times, just as Dan Rather once said without irony. Everyone she knows well in Manhattan probably thinks the same way.
When she encounters O’Reilly, he probably just doesn’t compute for her. It’s like medieval people who know the Earth is flat meeting people who are telling them the Earth is round. They just think they are nuts, extremists even, because everyone just knows it’s flat. I have witnessed many Andrea moments talking to lefty protestors in Washington when I’ve pointed out some well-known fact that discredits their position and they emotionally reject it.
Journalists like Andrea Mitchell are not liars but rather so thoroughly indoctrinated in the leftist point of view that they see it as the norm and everything else as extreme. Their inability to see lefty bias is not the product of dishonesty but rather the intellectual sterility of the Left.
Tantor on January 6, 2007 at 8:09 AM
I always thought she looked like her husband.
But, holy cow, she needs to learn to smile through adversity. She looks like a bitter old has-been. You know, a liberal who has been exposed.

JammieWearingFool on January 6, 2007 at 8:45 AM
ow why O’Reilly repeatedly licked her boots (not sure if AP includes that part in the clip above, I watched it on TV) saying he couldn’t find one example of her being biased. I’ve emailed him to tell him to get a clue, I suggest others do the same…. keep it pithy if you wish to opine.
RightWinged on January 6, 2007 at 3:30 AM
iam7545 on January 6, 2007 at 8:49 AM
Wow. I just watched that clip again and she IS a liberal talikng head!
Andrea: “I don’t think you can take that kind of statistical analyisis to the textual and contextual work that we do”
Bill: “Then there is no reality”
That’s the problem Andrea. You don’t think and you do not believe in absolutes unless you subscribe to them. EVERY position taken in life has to be judged on it’s relationship to reality.
Boy, the left is sooooo good at packaging their BS.
I learned something new today…thanks to all.
csdeven on January 6, 2007 at 9:06 AM
Very well said! The same thing happened once on Fox News Sunday when Chris Wallace indicated to Juan Williams that NPR was liberal. Williams began stammering in shocked disbelief at the ridiculousness of such a charge.
eeyore on January 6, 2007 at 9:32 AM
Perfect.
Wade on January 6, 2007 at 9:49 AM
Like Bill O’Reilly can carry her notebook.
Of course there’s no doubt NBC is biased. Look how completely they ignored the Jamil Hussein story…..
honora on January 6, 2007 at 10:03 AM
Exactly what sort of camera filter is required to actually see the daggers coming out of her eyes?

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on January 6, 2007 at 10:31 AM
Notice when Bill asks her about Fox the hesitation, then stutter, then finally an answer but not an answer to the question he asked. He asks again and she then says “some are biased”. But of course just minutes earlier she said there arenone,none at NBC. She can’t even answer a simple question without bias how could she possible report the news without it? It’s bad enough they are biased to the left but to then also be untruthful about your own political views and those you work with……….
ritethinker on January 6, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Behold the power of self-deception!
I have to agree with Cat (I think it was Cat) who assessed her case as basically she works with libs and hangs out with libs in her personal life, so she doesn’t she her views as liberal or left. She probably has colleagues with a more conservative liberal view and a more radical liberal view, so she is right down the middle. Plus, she’s a journalist, so you know she’s been trained to think that her own personal bias is never reflected in her reporting. Note, I am not saying that it isn’t, but in journalism school your trained to not see it. Again, behold the power of self-deception!
Mich_93 on January 6, 2007 at 10:35 AM
…MSM…………FOX……………
With them all clustered together, they feel like they’re normal.
MSM: “See how right-wing FOX is!”
The Monster on January 6, 2007 at 10:50 AM
In my opinion, Andrea Mitchell is either lying (deny, deny, deny, and don’t give one inch) or is seriously out of touch with reality.
Either way she has shown her cards, and what I see leads me to believe that she is not worth watching in any capacity. The end result is that she is promoting the MSM as bias free when that clearly is not the case, and trying to deflect criticism from tactics the Left uses to manipulate public opinion.
It absolutely amazes me that Alan Greenspan would be married to such a dimwit.
omegaram on January 6, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Right Andrea, and the sun also circles a flat earth.
zoyclem on January 6, 2007 at 11:17 AM
She’s on Imess’s show every other day …. another reason not to give credence to anything she has to say.
Sure Andrea, MSNBC and the rest of the MSM aren’t biased. And Alan Greenspan is a hottie.
fogw on January 6, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Actually, that is how most Liberals look when reality smacks them in the kisser. However, it wouldn’t hurt her if she did a stint on Dr. 90210 as a patient.

GT on January 6, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Chronic, yes. Perhaps a more descriptive term is “pathological liar.” Moonbats liberals are very nearly ALWAYS pathological liars. They are compelled to lie, even when it would be to their advantage to tell the truth. Sorta’ like Bill Clinton.
CyberCipher on January 6, 2007 at 12:01 PM

I guess nobodys seen him.
Buck Turgidson on January 6, 2007 at 12:22 PM
Well, of course network news isn’t biased! Every news operation on TV is a paragon of virtue–except for that eeevil FOX News, which dares, dares, to be ideologically to the right of Che Guevara! How dare they not acknowledge that everything Democrats do is perfection unto itself, and everything Republicans do is a wrong as, well, some big terribly wrong thing!
Clearly in the case of FOX News, as in every aspect of life, we need the government to regulate what people are allowed to do and to think. That way we can eradicate all bias from the face of the earth, and correct those who aren’t ideologically pure. For the children, naturally.
(sarcasm off) Wow, so that’s what it feels like to think like Andrea Mitchell. Creepy! And people like her are in charge of deciding what news you get to see and hear, and how it’s packaged when you do. But unlike Andrea Mitchell and her fellow liberals, conservatives never have the luxury of living in an ideological echo chamber (not that I think most of us would want to), because all we have to do is turn on the TV, or read most newspapers, or encounter almost any other aspect of popular culture.
ReubenJCogburn on January 6, 2007 at 1:04 PM
Popular as in preferred by the majority? Therein lies the tale….

Isn’t this the same woman who said everyone new about Wilson’s wife and then said she didn’t say it? Bad enough that even leftie Imus thought she was full of it?
She may, in fact, not believe there is any bias because there is so much left leaning in the MSM echo chamber they don’t notice the lean.
Really, I mean, NBC must have dozens of anti-abortion, pro-gun, pro-Iraq, voted for Bush, anti-social-program reporters on staff. Let’s call them out.
Buehler? Buehler?
Faith1 on January 6, 2007 at 4:22 PM
What a dolt she is. “We’re journalists, Bill” what a crock. She could NOT back it up with ONE fact. Not one. And she said NBC is not biased, but FOX commentaters ARE.
CrimsonFisted on January 6, 2007 at 5:10 PM
Bias? it depends on what your definition of “bias” is…
After all, Bias is:
And there are no electrodes on the network news, so clearly there can be no bias.
(Head explodes from thinking like a wingnut.)
Jones Zemkophill on January 6, 2007 at 10:56 PM
BILL O’ fans unite.
hillbillyjim on January 6, 2007 at 5:46 AM:
I got it, Hill Bully, you messed up on pagination; you didn’t have to post it twice. I guess you where all a titter to ZING me with that little missive above.
You have convinced me, Bill-O is the best person in the world. I remember his Caribbean Fantasy where he was going to rub that woman in the shower with a Loofa and such and such. WAY TO GO BILL. Pervert and he does not talks about Clinton. Is Bill-O married? Humm family values. May be Mark Foley, Ted Haggard and Bill-Oh can go on a Loofah cruise.
First you don’t know me. I’m not liberal, conservative, democrat or republican. I’m an American, independent, very moderate and very proud and grateful to live in this, the greatest nation.
I don’t give a rats bum what you think of me hill billy. I DON’T care what Bill’s ratings are? I record FACTOR as skip thru it. I think its entertaining as heck sometimes because you never know what stupid thing he’ll say. Look I don’t hate Bill OH, he’s just a Cable TV pundit and there are plenty of people to do the hating for me. I’m just don’t hate. I do loath people who are hateful. Bill O’ is hateful sometimes. I like Bill because he’s such a horse’s buttock and thinks he’s a swell guy. NOW THAT IS FUNNY. However I’m compelled to forgive Bill-O and you, so go in peace. No one is perfect.
You just attacked me and say Bill is successful? Who cares? Bill is a tool and we love him for it. Its entertainment, he is NOT a great thinker; he’s a loud mouth cable TV talking head. ER, Friends, Paris Hilton and Jerry Springer are popular TV shows. Are we going to get Dr. Frasier Crane to negotiate peace in the mid east?
What is your point or problem? Please don’t drink and play on the computer.
(BTW The Factor ratings are going down and Countdown w/ Olbermann wins certain times and key demographics during that hour, but again I point you to my previous comment, who cares.)
Who cares what MSNBC does? Watch it or don’t. I like to watch to MSNBC to balance out my FOX news viewing, which is so bias it’s funny with that “Fair and Balanced” slogan. That cracks me up.
I do like FOX when they have a true wacko on: conspiracy guy, Prof Churchill, Illegal alien proponent, muslim or black panther spokespersons explaining inappropriate actions/words. Give those folks the treatment and call them on the carpet. Amen, I appreciate FOX and Bill for that. The problem is FOX lets the RIGHT WING NUTS get a free pass. The have convicted felons and disgraced politicians on FOX like they are heroes, Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, G. Gordon Liddy and fellow convicted felon Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver North. Hummmmmm corruption taste so good.
Of course the Today Show does not like many of the GOP and conservative pundits because they are NOT LIKEABLE. They are always saying what A holes the MSM is. You expect them to invite them on and be nice?
Yes, they (MSM) does not like Bush. Who does? 70% of the country does NOT like Bush. Bush is a disaster. Remember the Nov elections? Only 30% of the nation is still into Bush, hard core party loyalist, but even that is on the down hill slide. I take no pleasure in saying that. I pray every night Bush and company do the right things and become competent. Its not hate; its fact we have an president and admin of limited abilities who listens to no one. Danger-danger.
Divisive pundits like T-warrior, Bill-O say liberal as a pejorative, perverting the national discourse with this US v. THEM bull, Fox v. NBC waste of time. It should not be this way. I don’t hate but do reserve righteous anger about what Rove, the GOP and Bush did by placing a wedge in the country with “Voting for Dems is voting for terrorism” and ignoring that *Constitution* thingy and corrupting religion for politics. Do we want Pat Robertson giving the White house advice? What ever…….my comment to you is if you (or Bill-O) want Pelosi and the Dems to fail you are for the terrorist. (works both ways) I HOPE THE DEMS DO GOOD FOR ALL OF US AND OUR children’s futures.
The WITH or AGAINST US attitude is killing this nation. “United we stand, divided we fall”, “A house divided can not stand”, sound familiar Hill-Billy-Jim? Bill-O wants to make it FOX v NBC. Waste-O-time, stick to the facts. Bill O is the POT calling the Kettle black. I AM ALL FOR OTHER opinions. I applaud Fox and Bill for their “product” and success, BUT focus on the NEWS not attacking the competition. WE HAVE REAL PROBLEMS AND BILL IS NIT PICKING TOM BROKOFFS WORDS? Tom B is right the execution was done badly, but I don’t think less of Bush for that. It was not their fault. That is the way this part of the world works. Bill was all over it, LOOK BROKOFF IS A LIB! Bill-O is just jealous he’s on cable and they are super stars, Icons of the media and loved by the people. Bill is not even liked. People like to dislike him. That is his thing.
Bill is promoting the US v THEM with the T-Warrior v. SP rant. Most of his book is just that, blaming other Americans, the media, the MAIN STREAM MEDIA. Hummmm how much cred does Bill get criticizing his competition in the same business? How much time does ABC, NBC and CBS spend on criticizing BILL-O? None, except for Countdown on MSNBC and that’s funny. Some one on TV has to call BILL on his bull.
Oh NBC was pro Kerry? How? Why? Facts please. In fact they go out of their way to be fair.
The only openly critical pundit of the GOP / Bush is MSNBC bombastic and overly dramatic critic Keith Olbermann! BILL O did not even mention him. Ha, ha, ha, Bill is a bully and can’t handle it when people punch him back in the nose. For a guy that shouts people down, calls whole networks biased and make threats against Countries (France, Aruba), he has thin skin. NBC is so benign and quasi natural it’s not funny. Other media watch dogs have called NBC as the most balanced. So pick your data.
Also BILL O put GQ magazine on his FACTOR “no buy list” because they voted Olbermann to some kind “GQ man of the year” by the magazine. HOW FREAKING Petty. Bill is such a putz. Of course Keith gloated and made fun of Bill’s ban. Both act like children but its fun to watch. NONE OF THIS IS serious. especially when our men and woman are dying in Iraq. FOCUS PEOPLE
Bill O was screaming at Andrea. She just stared him down and he melted down. Classic. Bill looked like and idiot in my humble opinion and apologized several times during the interview. ha ha ha. She handled him like he should, stay cool and let bill dig a hole.
BTW Keith can be a bag of wind but at least he’s funny sometimes, Bill is not, ever. IT’S Entertainment FOLKS! This is just Cable TV, not LIFE OR DEATH. Watch and enjoy or turn off. Life and death is in Iraq.
Bottom line we have brains, can view 8 to 12 TV/cable news channels, read magazines & news papers, listen to local or satellite radio and view content on 1000’s of blogs & web sites on the “Internets”. If you want all Rush & FOX all the time, great.
Funny, CNN and MSNBC have programs with “conservative” show host, Glenn Beck, Joe Scarborough and Tucker Carlson (the tool) to name a few. Chris Matthews? He loves giving it to all the fools on the hill, hilarious, but he is also smart. Bill O is not as smart as he thinks for the size of his ego. Fox has no conservative host except that poor soul Colmes, who is like the nerd and Hannity beats him for lunch money. I can’t watch it.
You sir are trying to be a bully, hill-billy with “YOU SHOW YOURSELF”. Who talks like that, you and your hero BILL-O.
President of Bill O’ fan club hillbillyjim, writes:
Gee that’s so nice of you. Thanks for straightening me out with your strong opinion and letting me know I have that right, that’s swell.
Now go read “Culture Warrior” again (underline and highlight page 160 three times) and put your Bill O’ baseball cap and fleece jacket on to keep you warm. It’s nice to belong to a group, and all you have to do is check out your brain. ha ha. Remember HE IS A GUY ON TV. He is not a serious journalist, he is a “analyst”. Meaning he says what ever he wants and does not back it up with facts but gets to criticize everyone else. Happy New years, and just say NO to ‘Surge and accelerate’. Declare victory and mission accomplished (again) and make a “strategics redeployment”.

The MSM, by their own potificating claims to be non-partisan and interested in accurate reporting only. What business do they have to hate ANYONE? They do not show the hate for people that deserve hate, (Saddam, Hugo, Castro, etc.) like they do for Bush. If you think that is fair, well, you are seriously misguided.
First you don’t know me. I’m not liberal, conservative, democrat or republican. I’m an American, independent, very moderate and very proud and grateful to live in this, the greatest nation.
“you show yourself to either be either liberal yourself, out of touch with reality, or inordinately hateful to a very successful personality with whom you disagree.”
What say you to the other options? Yes? No? Sometimes?
For someone who claims this issue is no big deal, you surely have a lot to say on the subject. Perhaps it is a big deal and you do not realize it? That’s cool and all, but your credibility suffers when your words do not fit your actions.

Well, I totally screwed that up! It was supposed to read like this…
I believe he gave you a choice of three options…
What say you to the other options? Yes? No? Sometimes?

Andrea had little or no choice but to answer as she did.
Elsewise she would be looking for a job at Fox. Just like Bill said it’s not her fault, it’s the executives that direct the news and also determine whether she works there or not.
The MSM executives that determine the main stream news have shown a complete disregard for any kind of middle ground for news coverage.
If they did have any regard for middle ground they would realize that the reason Fox is wildly popular is because Americans are and have been actually center right not liberal as the MSM has tried to portray.
Fox is the middle ground, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN are well to the left of the real America.

So, she can’t spot the liberal bias of ANYONE in the MSM BUT SEVERAL of the Fox Commentators are “clearly biased”. Allllrighty then…..
In another moment I thought she was going to say,” Look deeply into my eyes…there is no liberal bias…there is no liberal bias..you’re falling asleep..think of clouds rushing by….there is no liberal bias…..”
