Anti-Defamation League Says News Hounds Contributing To Climate of Extremism
Reported by Priscilla - Tue 6:53 PM
Ok, so the headline really says Glenn Beck contributes to the climate of extremism but the same can be said of the left.
After all, for 8 years, the democrats and their leftist blog followers called George W. ush every nam in the book except a child of God.( Need to check that one).
He was Hitler, he was a Fascist, he stole the elections, he was a war criminal.
And now they whine because their God, Obama, can't take a little heat.
Fools and cowards. All of them.

Ever since Morning Joe started, I havent watched. I liked it better when Joe did Scarborough country at 10pm back in the day on MSNBC

I'm not buying the Dylan Stableford piece. Just more speculation by someone wishing to promote the possibility of problems with the ranks of FNC.
It's typical for BOR to spread these major interviews over several days, just as he did for Obama.
It would be foolish for FNC to show both interviews on the same day and would be foolish to wait to show Hannity's after BOR is done with his three day plan. It makes sense for Hannity to go first, with BOR coming in next, spreading it all over 4 days.
I believe BOR may have wanted to be the only one from FNC doing the interview now, but I'm not buying the hissyfit thing.

I find it a bit dubious too. It's logical for Hannity to go first. He's interviewed her before, and it will be another softball. THEN follow it with O'Reilly--first ever interview, with better questions. If O'Reilly had gone first the Hannity interview would've been old news. Doing it this way maximizes ratings impact.

Hannity interview will be a softball interview.
The Oreilly interview would be more challenging.
Plus all this could be a PR stunt to get more attention to the two interviews.

Re: "Uh oh...'disciplinary action' likely": I have two questions that we all know the answers to, but I'll ask anyway. Why is it that only FNC's gaffes are magnified, scrutinized, and made out to be the worst thing in the world? What about CNN, HLN, and MSNBC? All the comments in that link's comment thread are from radical Fox haters, complete with Olbermann-approved slurs.

FNC needs to clean up its act. They are adding fuel to the hate fox fire. I'm even getting sick of all there sloppyness.
MSNBC is no better with those fake Palin pictures which they apolozged for
But I have issuess with the Media as a whole anyway and not just a single news outlet
