The story only interviewed Ludacris. Drawing any 'feud' conclusions is, well, ludicrous.

Radar just had to call Bill a conservative.....and what would you call him?
FoxNews reporting "highly inaccurate information"....that can't be right. This Texas education agency must be pure Fox haters to embarrass the Friends like this....I just can't believe the Friends would misinform their viewers so blatantly....but it appears they have....here's their sort of "clarification" http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003110007
Better to read link below to see the true gravity of their misinformation.

Johnny...I've posted the link just in case you want to add it to the front page...as I know how you like to keep your readers informed of the true facts.

"true facts" "Mediamatters"
Well thats 2 things that you dont see in the same message often. Maybe Haggis should start his own blog since hes unhappy with J$ posts.

GATXER.....just go to the Texas education agency website and checkout the "highly inaccurate information" spread by FNC.
Johnny...I'm disappointed that you haven't taken this opportunity to show that your "fair and balanced". If this "highly inaccurate information" had been given out by MSNBC....I'm sure you'd have your small police siren out advertising said "highly inaccurate information" on the front page.

I looked at the website and I discount most of it as just nitpicks......however it’s no shock that you trust every word of it. I also noticed that they took “highly inaccurate information” out of the headline now. Of course you NEVER come here to tell us about the highly inaccurate information on any other network…..is that because Mediamatters doesn’t tell you that? If I wanted to read mediamatters…I would throw common sense out and go there myself. I would also like to know why you have such a hard on for Fox & Friends…..did they pee in your beer once or what?
This is hardly the first time some group doesn’t like something a NEWS network has put on.....only the Fox Haters NEED it to be true.....maybe if you would spend more time WATCHING Fox and less going to partisan web site's you wouldn’t be so "spot Off" all the time when you come here to fight.
I’m disappointed with J$ also.....in that he continues to allow you to come here to fight and continue to post stuff from Mediamatters like it the "true Facts".

Gatxer....Why not go to the source website...like I asked you
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index4.aspx?id=8203
"I also noticed that they took “highly inaccurate information” out of the headline now."
It was never in the headline over at the TEA website....I don't know about MM....the “highly inaccurate information” quote came in the 1st sentence:-
"The Fox Network in recent days has repeatedly broadcast highly inaccurate information about the State Board of Education’s efforts to adopt the new social studies curriculum standards."
I just love how everyone here defends FNC to the bitter end....NEWS FLASH....The Friends have admitted themselves that they broadcast “highly inaccurate information”
"I would also like to know why you have such a hard on for Fox & Friends"
LOL...How dare you discus my erectile behaviour over the friends

"Gatxer....Why not go to the source website...like I asked you"
I did. I know you may have been fooled by me saying before "I looked at the website" sorry it was in English and not BS.
Speaking of BS you wrote this “just love how everyone here defends FNC to the bitter end....NEWS FLASH....The Friends have admitted themselves that they broadcast “highly inaccurate information” "
You of course can back that up with video of The Friends saying they broadcast “highly inaccurate information"
Because the video at Media matters lies doesn’t say that at all. I would hate for J$ to send you away for clearly lying about Fox AGAIN.
int: all the say in the video is they "MAY" have given the wrong impression not that they lied or gave highly inaccurate information!

O'Reilly is a "traditionalist." It means he holds more traditional values and opinions, which are similar to Republicans... however, he is not beholden to the party, and will (on more than a few occasions) disagree with party leadership or other members.
Hannity is a Conservative... O'Reilly, not so much.

Does Foxy Lady's well-stated definition of a troll seem appropo here?
"Danny, I don't think you understand what a troll is. A troll is someone who goes to a site repeatedly in order to deliberately hijack threads, divert attention to itself at the cost of the topic, disrupt discussion, and/or flame. The idea is to destroy the functioning of the thread in question"

Cecelia...I'm just doing what Johnny asks....I'm simple posting my cable news comments...It doesn't say that taking FNC to task isn't welcome.
"Your source for the truth about Fox News"
Johnny...you should really at to that statement....unless it paints Fox in a bad light.

You're seeing it from a namejacking troll. I didn't write it.

Of course you didn't. This was the same troll who two days ago was pretending to be a Glenn Beck fan (remember the all caps?). You have three guesses where this guy came from, and the first two don't count.

If Olbermann tripped over a homeless guy sleeping on the sidewalk, Olby would insist that guy apologize for getting in the way.
Olby will never apologize for his anti-semitic slur against Abrams.

I do hope the suits at MSNBC are looking at the ratings for Countdown and realize:
1)the ratings stay the same without Olby.
2)O'Donnell cheaper than Olby.
3)Olby who?
John, getting back to a post you made before about Olby's absence, I think I agree, Cankles has been given a time out.

Breaking News from Fox, Bret Baier just announced that Harry Reid's wife and daughter were involved in a car accident. I do hope they were both not injured, though Baier said that one has a broken bone.
My prayers are with the family. May this only be a minor incident.

Bradley Blakeman wrote a article on foxnews.com saying he was ambushed on MSNBC:

The other day I watched a similar segment with David Shuster against a former Reaganite (I can't remember his name) about the recent remarks from Chief Justice Roberts about the president's characterization of the recent campaign finance ruling.
The guy according himself well, but the remarkable thing about the interview was the pained look on Shuster's face whenever this gentleman made an argument. A one point there was a slight wincing sound that I believe was made by Shuster when the guy referenced Roe v. Wade!
Truth be known, Shuster has all the drama of Glenn Beck, without his humor, and with far more party militancy.

Putting my opinion of Reid aside I hope that his family is ok. Something like that can happen to any of us at any time.
