Open thread: The O’Reilly Malkin Factor Update: Highlights added

Will there, at long last, be a segment on the iPhone? Or will a certain someone’s shame at a certain other someone’s suffering mean the embargo persists? The Factor is on — in 20 minutes!
Update: Heart-ache. The heart-ache only a widower can know.
Update (Bryan): The challenge with editing these Factor highlight reels is often a) condensing the segments enough so that they’ll keep us within fair use but still make sense, and b) capturing something unique about the episode. In this case, hopefully I’ve managed both. The highlight reel starts off with the show’s only real hard news segment, the terror bombings in London and Glasgow. In this segment, you see Michelle doing what she does best–pursuing a big story by getting at the facts of the matter. The show moved through a few political and “best of” segments, before ending on an interview with an internet porn peddler. I think it’s fair to say that this story didn’t make the boss’ top ten list of stories worth covering today. I left in Hugh 2.0’s birdie flight at the end to memorialize what kind of guy he really is: Having lost the debate and having had his cheap trick on the fake photo backfire on him badly, the only thing he left in his arsenal was a childish gesture. Classy.
Update (AP): In case any curiosity-seeker should wander by wanting to know more about the bogus photo the porn peddler mentioned, here’s the post where it was debunked.

Alan Combs, the perpetual useless idiot
warpmine on July 5, 2007 at 9:03 PM
I was going to say that the “loser” comment was a little out of bounds… he’s just running a business, and if a bunch of little whores want to get naked and make him rich, what’s the problem? We may have personal moral issues with it, but I don’t want to impose my morals on others, nor do I want theirs imposed on me.
But after that comment he went on later to try to say there are sexy pictures of Michelle on the internet, and then flipped her off at the end. He’s clearly a little Eminem wannabe douche (you all know the type).
Anyway, he did act like a loser (and clearly is), but I think it was only after Michelle called him one that he started acting like that. She called him a loser and then never gave him another chance to respond… She should have been more angry at parents who don’t pass along strong enough values in their daughters and mocking them. Again, I think this guy is a douche, but I think getting him on the show, and calling him a loser (unprovoked) was actually pretty weak. Honestly, the entire thing went downhill after Michelle called him a loser.
That was HILARIOUS! The girl, obviously trying to use a big word (to her) so she would sound intelligent on the show defends her boyfriend by saying:

Having Michelle cover tabloid news is, by the way, a gross underutilization of her talents.

Michelle is entitled to her own opinon about anyone she talks about. To her that guy is a “loser” because of the way he earns his money.
I have nasty things to say about the Daily Kos. Doesnt mean Im unfair to that site it just means I know the truth about it.

Yeah, MM kinda poisoned the well with the “loser” comment. Context would have shown he was, indeed, a turd, but his puerile behavior was apparently his only defensive avenue after that.
Still…it is nice to see turds being called out. Perhaps that was MM’s way of voicing her displeasure with having to interview said turd?

A well-deserved spike. B.B., (before blogs), I ran a site and linked you.
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 9:22 PM
I think you guys should give Ms. M a little more credit here. I am sure that she was given a dossier on Mr. Punk Loser prior to the show, and I am equally sure that she checked out his website prior to the interview as well. That’s the way she operates–always informed.
She knows a dirtbag when she sees one. It was obvious that the whole idea of interviewing him was distasteful for her: “…your 15 minutes of fame…”
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 9:23 PM
frankj on July 5, 2007 at 9:12 PM – I like your site. (not related to your comment!)

Karen just called Allan out on blaming the US for terrorism.
Priceless!
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 9:28 PM
There’s nothing more amusing than watching a programmed conservative hop up and down hurling insults at a token political opponent who is hamstringed in what he says by conservatives looking over his shoulder. The guy is a pathetic sock puppet and a blatant push over. Sean Hannity handpicked him because he’s too much of a gutless weasel to debate someone with a pair.
It’s pretty sad seeing conservatives tease and taunt someone who is only brought on for their amusement so they don’t have to come out of their ideological bubble. Practically animal cruelty.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 9:28 PM
Hilarious… especially considering that term only exists on your page as a comment from a reader.
I’m sure she knew he was a loser (in her opinion), but that comment was uncalled for and again, as explained, caused the interview to turn in to the circus it was. The kid, douchey as he was, was trying to be polite and adult about the thing (again, setting aside any personal moral problems we may have with him, because that’s irrelevant). And again, why wasn’t she asking the girl why she was such a loser? Treating the girl like she’s some victim of this evil loser guy… she can make up her own mind. She’s a trashy slutty girl, why not talk about that?
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 9:29 PM
“I won’t say thank you, but I will say goodbye”…that was good, Michelle! WT boy then flips her off. Idiot.

Are there that many blind and stupid followers of clintonista mafia that they think he’s done no wrong?
I mean ,what does a Clinton have to do? Kill or order the death of someone?
Oh, wait.

Rightwinged:
Slouched in his chair with a baseball cap on backwards, the polite adult calmly explained how it made better business sense to use 18-24 year olds who look even younger. He made me sick too.
I don’t think MM was treating the girl like she was a victim. She was trying to hit her upside the head and knock some sense into her.
They were both a couple of low-lifes who didn’t deserve to be on a national TV show. I’m sure MM felt the same way, so not only am I giving her a pass on the loser remark, I’m giving her kudos.

Thanks AP. I was getting ready to post something to that asshole you’d probably ban me for.
BacaDog on July 5, 2007 at 9:54 PM
Here’s a debate that I’ll have to disagree with MM on. They do what they do for one thing MONEY. It is a business.
MM didn’t have to stoop to ‘name calling’ in a debate that signifies weakness of points.
They aren’t breaking any laws. He said they were all 18. What difference does it make if he wants ‘younger looking’ women? He shouldn’t have brought up the issue with fake internet images of MM. But if ‘looking young’ weren’t an American institution, MM wouldn’t ever wear any makeup.
It made for good TV. But the first amendment protects his right. He’s no Hugh Hefner, but he’s also no rapist or criminal either.

I don’t think she really wanted to do that segment…hence the “here’s your fifteen minutes of fame, what do you want to say” remark to start it off.
How’s the insurance business?
shooter on July 5, 2007 at 10:13 PM
So what you’re saying is that conservatives should not be allowed to bring liberals on their shows because the inevitable trouncing they’re subjected to amounts to animal cruelty. And that’s “animal” as in “dumb animal” I presume.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 10:19 PM
No, what I’m saying is that Fox News is a gigantic Republican circle jerk that only includes a paltry number of “liberals”, who, like Alan Colmes, are just a bunch of gutless pushovers brought on to debate biased subjects “How much do Democrats hate America?”, talk with lopsidedly conservative guests (meaning the guest list is lopsidedly conservative) and to do so in a format in which they basically can’t oppose official positions of Murdoch, Ailes and the network (i.e. why Colmes opposes the fairness doctrine and bitched and moaned that Dems wouldn’t debate on Fox). He’s only there because Fox isn’t willing to get a real liberal or a Democrat who is actually admired or liked by other Democrats. Hannity is the one who actually picked Colmes.
He’s only there so people can pretend that Fox isn’t 100% Republican (as opposed to 90%). In other words, for you people to genuinely hate Alan Colmes, would be the equivalent of someone coming out of a movie theatre after watching “The Pianist” (a movie about the Holocaust) and beating up one of the actors who portrayed a Nazi.
Honestly, get a grip, it isn’t real.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 10:26 PM
No, that’s animal as in “pet monkey”.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 10:31 PM

That doesn’t matter. The whole idea of conservatism is that big idea is that personal responsibility and personal freedom are the ideals – manifested through small gov. etc. To wit: we win by big ideas, not by bullying or name calling (not laying this on her doorstep, just framing contextually).
The whole idea is to invite people to grow up into responsible adults.

Legions on July 5, 2007 at 10:43 PM
There are more liberal guests and contributors on FOX than there are conservative guests on CNN and MSNBC combined.
Just a few off the top of my head: Juan Williams, Mort Kondrake, Bill Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Ellis Henican, Judge Napolitano, Ellen Ratner, Steve Centanni, Susan Estrich, Bill McCuddy, Jane Skinner, Geraldine Ferraro, Gretta VanSusteren, Neal Gabler.
Then there are the libs with their own shows: Shepard Smith (2), Geraldo Rivera (+ specials) and Colmesy.
Now if these sound like a bunch of lightweights to you, I apologize; it’s just the nature of the beast.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Well done performance all around
Greg Tinti on July 5, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Last comment was for the fragile one.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Isn’t Napolitano a Libertarian?
And Fragility needs to quit whining, his side of the aisle has enough news operations already.
Bad Candy on July 5, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Skinner and Shep are libs?
Greg Tinti on July 5, 2007 at 10:54 PM
Skinner, Hennican, Gabler and Beckel are the only real liberals you named. Kondracke is certainly not a liberal, and he doesn’t claim to be. He’s a “non-ideological centrist”, and no, not “centre-left”. No one could possibly listen to him and get the idea that he was a “liberal”. He’s not and you know it. Estrich is a moron and a member of the DLC, i.e. not a liberal. Van Susteren doesn’t do politics. If you have video clips of her mouthing off Democratic talking points, let me know. You don’t, so don’t bother looking for them, they don’t exist. She keeps her mouth shut on her political opinions. That’s why she doesn’t have an opinion segment, unlike O’Reilly, Gibson, Cavuto, etc… Powers isn’t a liberal or a Democrat. She’s a conservative pro-lifer who despises Democrats. Even Allah Pundit quotes her frequently on this blog.
And Judge Napolitano? That just proves that you’re a liar. Napolitano is a libertarian, a PRO-LIFE libertarian, which makes him just about the least likely candidate on Earth to designate a “Democrat”. You can’t get much further away from the Dem party than being a socially conservative libertarian. And he never claimed to be a Dem. You’re simply lying.
Bill McCuddy? The entertainment correspondent? You’re literally taking names off the top of your head, aren’t you? How is he a “liberal”? Or better yet, Steve Centanni? The foreign correspondent? He’s not a guest or a contributor, he’s a correspondent.
Thank you for proving that you basically have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.
Bill McCuddy? LOL.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 10:56 PM
It’s funny that someone would go through the trouble of getting a Hot Air comment account just to blow it all on that gem.
Or is it sad?
frankj on July 5, 2007 at 10:56 PM
Wow, you’re more delusional than I thought! AP, can we start a HotAir pool on how long Fragility will last before his insanity causes him to do something banworthy?
It’s clear you don’t even watch Fox Frag, can you at least admit that? You’re just taking the talking points you heard from your Freshman political science professor who got you all jazzed up last year and made you think you have a clue about… anything, or from some other liberal FNC “watch dog” (read: hate) site.
First of all, you’ve got the traditionalist O’Reilly and the conservative Republican Hannity (who debates a liberal, whether he’s weak or not is irrelevant, liberal positions are exposed when challened, tough luck) who do opinion programming. Greta is a lib. Shep is a lib, and let’s it bleed in to what is supposed to be hard news. The rest is pretty much hard news, other than Fox & Friends which is a much lighter atmosphere and does tend to allow for some opinion.
We’re not going to get in to listing the extreme bias at the other networks, most newspapers, virtually all college campuses, local courts, etc.. The blatant lies that go uncorrected on an almost daily basis (Rathergate, the “bad armor” debacle exposed here at HotAir, and COUNTLESS daily occurrances of liberal agendas rammed down people’s throats., no calling Dems out who call Bush a liar on WMDs when they spent 13 years making an even stronger case, countless front page Abu Ghraib stories for months at a time in the NY Times, virtually all of which were repeats which were intended to do nothing (because the information was already out) but hurt the effort, even if that means angering people and dead troops. How about Newsweek’s Koran/Toiletgate that got almost 20 people killed in riots in the MiddleEast? How about the unethical behavior of Carville and Begala being “unpaid advisors” to the Kerry campaigns? No, there are literally thousands of liberal lies and agenda driven BS at amost every news outlet, but you throw a fit because FNC’s OPINION programming leans more right than it does left, while leftwing agendas are constantly pushed in hard news on other networks?
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 10:56 PM
Rivera isn’t a liberal, Rivera’s an idiot. Smith isn’t a liberal, and his show isn’t political. If you think a show about forest fires and oil spills is a liberal counterweight to Bill O’Reilly, Hume, Gibson, Cavuto, Kasich, Gigot, Gutfeld or Hannity’s America, you’re an idiot.
And no, Colmes doesn’t have his own show. He’s a co-host with Sean Hannity, he has less speaking time, the guests are 70% conservative/Republican and the topics are all Republican-oriented topics. If that’s your idea of “having your own show”, I guess you could say the same for slaves working on an acre of cotton field.
No, really, it’s “theirs”.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 11:00 PM
Shep’s shows are strictly news, not commentary, so his liberalism is not always noticeable. He blew his cover big time during Katrina.
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 11:00 PM
Well, my previous reply to you didn’t show up… I suspect something triggered the spam filter.. though I’m not sure what.
I just had laugh though when I came back to see you proving my point… that you’re regurgitating some talking points from an FNC hate site, or something along those lines, and you hardly ever (if you have ever) watch Fox News. So please shut up about it.
O’Reilly doesn’t have an “opinion segment” genius… HE HAS AN OPINION PROGRAM. And I forgot about those two guys in my previous post… Cavuto and Gibson. Their programs are kind of opinion too, but again it’s not a “segment”. Gibson has the “my word” and Cavuto has his thing at the end where he’s speaking a specific point… but the entire show allows for opinion. And by the way, Greta’s program is EXACTLY like this too, but most of the time she’s doing tabloid BS. And yes she is a liberal.
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Rivera isn’t a liberal, Rivera’s an idiot.
I’m not getting the difference? Seriously though, Rivera is a liberal and fully open about it.
Shep is a liberal, and I can list examples if necessary… but I won’t do so until you support your idiotic claim that Colmes gets less speaking time than Hannity and that the guests are 70% conservative and that the show topics are “ALL” republican oriented.
Honestly, I said this in my first comment to you. You are beyond delusional. I’m not just trying to insult you, but you’re a deranged lunatic and I suggest you seek help (again, not kidding.)
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 11:06 PM
No, it really wouldn’t. That troll is a one-subject idiot who is only capable of posting comments about FOX, and solely for the purpose of getting a rise out of you. There’s no intelligent debate there, just snark and silly arguments. Observe the sign: Don’t Feed the Troll.
thedecider on July 5, 2007 at 11:09 PM
Oh and by the way, not that your claim about guests and topics being overwhelming conservative was even close to being on the mark by any stretch of the imagination… did you ever consider what happened with all the Dems pulling out of the debate and think… “hmmm, maybe there are less Dems on the show because they are afraid to go on, just like the candidates in the debate”. I have seen countless shows where the liberal guest has canceled. Your figures are still BS, but when weak minded liberals are afraid to defend their positions, what can you do?
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 11:09 PM
Thanks for picking up my slack RightWinged. I was on my way to bed after my 10:48 comment when this thread exploded!
(I should know better than to feed the fragile one.)
IrishEi on July 5, 2007 at 11:10 PM
It looks like you’re the one who doesn’t actually watch Fox News.
Reality Check. The following programs are politically conservative programs, and not hard news:
Hannity’s America
1.) O’Reilly Factor (not traditionalist, but conservative, all you’ve done is prove that you swallow O’Reilly talking points without thinking, not the other way around)
2.) Heartland with GOP congressmen John Kasich
3.) The Journal Editorial Report (WSJ, Paul Gigot, conservative panel)
4.) Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld (Conservative comedian)
5.) Half Hour News Hour (Conservative, disastrous ripoff of the Daily Show)
6.) Big Story with John Gibson
7.) Hannity’s America
8.) Your World with Neil Cavuto
9.) Special Report with Brit Hume (complete with GOP shills Carl Cameron, Jim Angle and Major Garrett)
Oh, really, genius? Then why is it Greta never gives her political opinion, but Cavuto and Gibson do? Oh, that’s right! Because Democrats like Susteren don’t have the right to mouth off their left-leaning beliefs, whereas Cavuto and Gibson do mouth off their right-leaning beliefs. Hence, you lose the argument.
It’s funny watching you squirm in your inability to offer a coherent rebuttal to my points. “UH…. UH… YOU’RE…. YUR JUST REPEATING OTHER PEOPLE… UH…”
Yeah, that’s great, you’re a moron.
Yeah, we’re not, know why? Because we’re talking about Fox. Notice how you can’t keep the subject on Fox?
Ah, that’s right. Because you can’t win.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 11:11 PM
Who cares if it’s 50/50 or 60/40 or 70/30 or whatever? TV is market-driven. Whatever they are doing, be it Paris or Politics, they get a hefty market share, because people like to watch them.
Spirit of 1776 on July 5, 2007 at 11:11 PM
You can’t seriously cite Gutfeld after ruling out McCuddy.
Spirit of 1776 on July 5, 2007 at 11:12 PM
Ah, I forgot to add Fred Barnes and former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich editing their own specials that occasionally air on Sundays on Fox News. LOL, those ones really crack me up.
It’s funny that some of you are actually blind enough to sit there and watch a Fox News special on the Separation Between Church and State hosted by Newt Gingrich, and not think to yourself (could this be biased? Nah), but if Pelosi was doing specials on affirmative action or education for CNN?
Your heads would explode.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 11:13 PM
How about a count of the number of us that want the moron to go away? He adds, absolutely nothing to the debate here. Snark, right out of the box, and always about a single subject: FOX News. The intent is, by now, obvious. He just wants to argue with you even though he has no point. As for counting votes of those who want the troll banned, count me as “yea”.
thedecider on July 5, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Yes I can. Because McCuddy isn’t a liberal. The previous poster has offered no proof of that. He doesn’t spout Dem talking points or any liberal views. Do you have proof that he does? Link me.
Because Greg Gutfeld is a right-wing Republican. Allah even posted an article previously in which he gave an interview where he whined about how Jon Stewart was more popular than him, liberals are evil, etc… Go to the Fox News Channel’s website, it has a video player, and on the side tab there is a “Gutfeld” tab. Click on it, and browse the “Greg-a-logues”, then come back.
Fragility on July 5, 2007 at 11:15 PM
Just don’t feed the troll, folks. Don’t point out that Clintonista George Stephanopolous hosts ABC’s lead-off political show, don’t point out that Clintonistas Begala and Carville yucked it up on their own CNN show, don’t point out that Tim Russert was a Dem staffer, don’t point out that Chris Matthews was also a Dem staffer, and whatever you do, don’t point out the overwhelmingly liberal bias in the news departments of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBS, the NYT, the Washington Post and nearly every other major newspaper in the country, where around 90% either self-identify as liberals or vote and donate left of center. Don’t bother pointing out any of that. Fragility has its talking points and it’s sticking to them.
Bryan on July 5, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Well again, as we already established, her show is usually tabloid fluff or “missing girl of the week” crap. She’s fully capable of giving her opinion on whatever topics she decides to cover. I suggest writing her and asking if she is silenced, as you claim because you, some kid who got a dose of Freshman political science and watched some lying movies like F911 and got yourself all worked up, can just see in to her mind apparently but we’ll need to see some actual proof bud.
I don’t really care about talking about things non-Fox, the point was you’re obsessing about a network that has some opinion shows in which the host may lean conservative or traditional and you’re furious, yet you don’t seem to care about the bias at virtually every other outlet. You’re not even citing an example of what they’ve done wrong, you’re just bitching about their ideology. So if that’s your beef, why aren’t you pissed about the figures of like 9 or 10 to 1 liberals at virtually every other news outlet in the country (or college professors while we’re at it). If your beef is simply someone’s party identification or apparent ideology, surely you can shred an ounce of outrage for the stated fact of extreme unbalanced leftism in virtually every other media outlet in the country, no?
What I find really disturbing (aside from your rage and obvious instability) is the fact that we are to accept your definition of “conservative”, but if we call someone a liberal (who is a self-identifying liberal) you insist they are not, simply because they don’t give Castro a lap dance like you would apparently do. By the way, I find it funny that you even include Gutfeld in that section you seem to have pasted from some FNC hate site… have you ever watched the show? I’d have to say that a strong majority of guests are libs on that show, and rarely does Gutfeld challenge them in any serious way.
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Uh, no, Gutfeld said Jon Stewart wasn’t funny anymore because he turned his show into a crappy DNC pep rally. He didn’t lament Jon Stewart’s better numbers at all. Nice of you to lie like that.

It’s too late for this nonsense. Stupidity isn’t amazing, it’s fairly human. But to find people in a internet thread claiming that Fox News isn’t conservative, making these posts in a thread titled “The Malking Factor”, including a video clip of a conservative blogger hosting a show on Fox. It’s like finding out that Gingrich was cheating on his wife while impeaching Clinton.
You just can’t make up stuff that good. Good night.

I agree with you shooter. It wasn’t a good topic in the first place. That guy really shouldn’t have been on.
The insurance business is pretty good because I’ve been doing it so long. It’s nice to spend time with my family. It isn’t what I WANT to do because it is boring. But it’s easy and the money is better than it should be though I’m probably low man on the totem pole when it comes to amount of money you get in both the insurance and health field.
I don’t try to ’sell’ insurance though. I try to find ways to save people money on their health insurance. If you know anyone who needs advice, just send em my way and I’ll do the best I can for them.
But basically I agree with you.

True, we shouldn’t be feeding him… it’s just tough not to sometimes.
So you’re due links, yet when you claim that ALL of H&C’s topics is conservative oriented and that 70% of guests are conservatives, and that Colmes gets less speaking time… we’re to just accept it… Because ranting and raving lunatic college freshman fresh out of political science class told us so?

That’s all true, but who cares? It’s all opinion journalism anyway. I highly doubt people watch Chris Matthews or Olby because they think he is objective, they watch it because they agree with his perspective.
It’s all market driven. I don’t understand why we are argue why it’s so many blue vs. so many red. Seems to me we should go for fact vs. opinion.

Once again, the troll lost it’s argument and will now go back to its creek bottoms. The end.

Why do you guys even bother? Our pal Frag is obviously obsessed with FOX and can’t stand the fact that ANY conservative thought might make it out over the cable connection.
Ignore him. You can’t debate with a fanatic. You’ll never change his mind.
Find another subject Frag. We all know you hate FOX.

I know, why would a VERY LATE night show whine about his numbers not matching a primetime show’s? As I said (again, not kidding at all) Fragility is in need of serious help. He is clearly unstable. Does anyone else here doubt he’s one of those kids wearing a ski mask and throwing Molotov cocktails at protests in San Francisco, etc. or attacking Army recruiting stations? His delirium is terrifying.

So you’re saying Rage Boy found his way to the internet?

FTFY.

And then again during the Lebanon war last summer…and then again on immigration…

Markwith’s homepage has the photoshopped picture that’s supposed to be Michelle in a bikini. It’s under the title “Taking Sexy Pictures is Wrong, Right Michelle?”. Obviously he hasn’t attended the monthly moonbat meeting.

And a HUGE Clinton fan.
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 11:32 PM
I gotta tell ya, I got here late. You guys did a great job. Oh I vote yea by the way.

And ranting that we can’t see flag draped coffins… and speaking about the troops says “victims… uh, heroes”
Or how about his rant a couple months ago about how “the science is in” on global warming. And his d**khead attitude about anyone who would disagree.
Or how about how after that anti-Harold Ford Jr. ad (remember with the “playboy bunny” saying “call me”, mocking Jr.’s attendance of a Super Bowl party with bunnies). The thing had been pulled because the weak people who were running it caved to the race baiters who screamed that there was something racist about the ad, because the playboy bunny was white (yeah, it’s stupid, but you remember that this is what happened). Not a single objective person on the planet could have seen the ad as racist. No one. Some time after it was pulled, Shep (traveling during election season) referred to the “racist” ad. Not even “the ad some people thought had racial overtones” (which still would have been a stupid lie), he flat out called it racist.
And there have been countless others. You can watch Studio B any day and pick up on his liberalism, and occasionally it even bleeds in to the “prestigious” Fox Report.
RightWinged on July 5, 2007 at 11:36 PM
“Please don’t feed the trolls” should be a banner on the front page of HA.
What gets me is the fact that the NY Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican Presidential candidate since Dwight Eisenhower! I mean, they chose Dukakis….Mondale…
And for gawds sake, I ask this of every FOX-o-phobe I know: Name me some instances of FOX News bias….and I never get a decent answer.

Because they don’t watch FOX. They watch MSNBC or CNN. If they happen upon FOX and see an unbiased story they have a stroke
PowWow on July 5, 2007 at 11:39 PM
I generally do. But even the best of us occasionally operate at less than our peak. If our hostess found the subject matter as repugnant as some would suggest (as would I), she might drop her guard for a moment and say the first thing that comes to mind.
I probably would have done the same. Then I’d wish I had done better, chalk it up, and move on.
manwithblackhat on July 5, 2007 at 11:39 PM
There was a Berkely study that studied media bias, and it came to the conclusion that FoxNews was more centrist that most of the other news shows/programs. (A MEASURE OF MEDIA BIAS by Tim Groseclose and Jeffrey Milyo)
I recall a second study that ended up showing that watching FoxNews swayed people to vote Republican more often than not, as well. Personally, I attribute that to the fact that Fox, and republican voters in general, tend to be more intellectually honest than their more liberal brethren.
It’s amazingly ironic that in this day and age, the current Left in America has become everything they despised about the old-guard Right from decades past.

Oh heck, I’m still mad at Shep for pulling the slow car chase off the air 2 years ago. ;)
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 11:45 PM
I just wish I was man enough to wear a ballcap on national television–backwards. With a suit. Then I would be a rebel, a maverick, a player–who doesn’t play by the rules.
And who probably smells of hair gel and stale smoke and whose flat-affect girlfriend shows her goodies for the whole world’s enjoyment and when forced to think for herself about it, doesn’t think it’s any different from any other eight-to-five.
That’s the kind of jet-set, high-livin’ lifestyle he’s selling. These two are like pure liquid glamour in a forty-ounce Courvoisier bottle.
Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability!

FNC leans Conservative. The point in making this argument again and again is…?
What an effing newsflash.
PBoilermaker on July 5, 2007 at 11:48 PM
Fragility is just mad because libs can’t hold their own in a debate on FOX. Therefore they cannot possibly be TRUE liberals, because TRUE liberals wouldn’t allow themselves to look like such idiots. /s
Connie on July 5, 2007 at 11:48 PM
Yeah the sportcoat with the ball cap (and some funky t-shirt) was a bit much…
And hey…what ever happened to that “Fox Watch” thingamabob…didn’t Soros fund that? Where groups of volunteers would watch their assigned segments of FOX News programming every day, and report what they heard…
I don’t even see it listed anywhere anymore…
JetBoy on July 5, 2007 at 11:50 PM
That’s cuz all the capuchin monkeys they had monitoring FNC for bias and untruths ended learning a thing or two, such as how to think for themselves. They shed their liberal moonbat groupthink and joined the rest of the civilized world.
Mindcrime on July 5, 2007 at 11:51 PM
Yeah but there’s something about passing age 40 that takes all that away. Just gimme the Courviosier.
