Re: "O'Reilly guest [Mary Alice Carr] refuses encore": It's her loss. Sorry to see her go, even though I never saw her first appearance. I wasn't a regular "Factor" viewer until October 2006 after reading "Culture Warrior."

"O'Reilly knew that people wanted Tiller dead, and he knew full well that many of those people were avid viewers of his show."
Has this woman ever watched olbermann or is she that much of a hack? I'm guessing the latter.

She will no longer appear on the Oreilly Factor because Bill Oreilly didn't apologize for his role in Dr. Tiller's death? Why should he? It's not his frickin fault that some loon killed Dr. Tiller. It's like accussing Keith Olbermann for his role in the murder of the Military recruiter for his lefist views. Typical Liberal, always placing the blame on someone or anything else other than the real culprit...

Like I said when this issue was on the front burner, Goldberg and Walters were angry that their pretention was exposed by Beck and were more than happy to play the victims of his inaccuracy (lie) about the events to distract from the humorous issue of their celebrity entitlement attitude.
When Beck apologized about the lie he said he had made, Goldberg and Walters should have been gracious and let it go then knowing they had been specially handled amongst the commoners on the train. Alas, their pride, like most in their class, ideological cadre and professional field, was too powerful to let go of the opportunity to let Beck know who is superior.
Like I also said back then....Beck was playing with fire.

I need an exorcism after visiting The View's website. There are post on their messageboards demanding an apology for Glenn Beck. As we all know that they will never apologizes but the next time Glenn Beck is on the show. Glenn should asked Barbara Walters if the rumor is true that she slept with Fidel Castro...

Don't forget, ZD, that Keith Olbermann, with help from Media Matters, spun Barbara and Whoopi's defense as an undressing of Glenn. Of course, Keith and the far-left used different terms and phrases than I did here.

The real question in that quote you posted (which stuck out to me as well), is "how does she know, that 'many' of them watch his show? How does she know the killer watches his show?"
She doesn't! She's making it up.
And if there was a comment section on that site... I would have asked as much.

Hey Johnny, thanks for posting those great links to B-Cast that show how badly Beck was blindsided by the arrogant lefists on the View. I wonder if Big Momma Brodsky will amend her lies of May 21st.
Whoopi Goldberg To Glenn Beck: "You're A Lying Sack Of Dog Mess"
Reported by Ellen - May 21, 2009 - 64 comments
Glenn Beck got his you-know-what handed to him by the ladies of The View when they confronted him about his fabrications about a recent encounter with them on an Amtrak train.
--------------------
Of course I'm betting Big Momma lacks the guts or the integrity to make a truthful addmission about her fallacious post at the dog pound.
Some things never change at NH's eh?

Re: Reese Regrets Ratings Report
"But, then again, maybe all of the above are wrong. Maybe it's simply the need for an enemy, the desire to detest is greater than the power to tolerate; maybe it's the need to blame somebody else for the bad things that are happening in our lives that drives viewers to Fox. Perhaps those viewers are the next generation of the rich socialites in the old New Yorker..."
OR... whether it's 18 to 54 year olds, or any other age group, FNC just offers more interesting and appealing programming, jackass...

Mr. Schonfeld is a fool.
I wonder if he has ever watched Bret Baier's wonderful panels that have such intellectual heavyeights like Charles Krauthammer and opinions from the left like Mort Kondracke or Mara Liasson?....After reading his piece I think he believes FOX is just a bunch of racist rednecks cursing Obama all day long.
I wonder if he has watched a Chris Wallace interview from beginning to end?
I wonder if he watched Bill O'Reilly debate former NOW President, Patricia Ireland, regarding Dr. Tiller's legacy?....Does he know what Mr. O'Reilly's competition was doing that exact same moment on MSNBC?....conducting the typical echochamber interview Mr. Schonfeld accuses FOX NEWS as being the sole user....Olbermann was interviewing a lifelong friend of Dr. Tiller.
I do not believe Olbermann has had on ONE pro-life advocate on to defend their side from the demogoguery and matyrdom propaganda that has spewed from the MSM these past several days.
O'Reilly?....PATRICIA IRELAND had the floor on THE FACTOR.
So please....just this week I witnessed the difference between the press Mr. Schonfeld laments is losing audience and that of FNC....the content differences is striking! Both sides, with respectful debate and rational content attracts the audience while the stale talking-points echo chambers are hemorrhaging viewers.

Or, maybe Reese, it's that you only talk to other liberals at work & at your cocktail parties. Elites engaging other liberal elites expressing downright horror that in fly over country, your POV and those of your friends are pretty much ignored. Reese, keep that chin/jowl up, it's almost happy hour.

Priscilla, the Great Hater of the Hen House, has written a post about Bill OReilly and the late Dr. Tiller.I will attempt to prove her wrong on some points which she obviously knows are wrong but continues to lie and distort.
1. The Great Hater says that OReilly lied when he called Tiller a killer. That is her own lie. Calliing him a killer is OReillys opinion of Tillers actions.
2. The Great Hater also stated that O
3. Reilly accused OReilly of saying Tiller destroyed 60,000 fetuses. Yes, he did say that but her hate took hold and she called the use of the word destroyed incendiary. She has lied again. This is what Tiller did. Destroy fetuses. That is a fact.
4. The Great Hater then accused OReilly of inciting people for saying that they should go out and protestat Tillers clinic.. The last time I checked protesting was guaranteed by the constitution. So, we have another lie from Priscilla, the Great Hater of the Hen House.
Poor Priscilla, The Great Hater has shown her true colors again. I will give her this though. She lies and distorts better than the other creatures at the Hen House.

The Obama administration via the US Department of State urges Americans to watch CNN. - Liberals Silent.
But what if....
The Bush administration via the US Department of State urges Americans to watch FNC. - What'd'ya think the libs would say, in particular, the hounds?

That was in Spanish. I don't think that's the common language of Americans. Yet.
This was apparently aimed worldwide, where CNN is much more available.

Apparently the Bush administration had more tact and didn't care to control the minute aspects of citizens' daily lives like the current pop stars/Gods to atheists/administration.

Too bad Tamron Hall wasn't asked if she thought it was right that Mr. Olbermann accused both the Bush Administration and the Republican Party as being more dangerous to the country than terrorists.
Perhaps she should be reminded of similar comments from David Shuster and Chris Matthews as well.

Bill addressed Mary Alice Carr's column tonight on "The Factor" in the Factor Follow Up segment with Bernie Goldberg. After quoting part of said column, he replied: "Well, that is just bull. We analyzed Tiller honestly, and I'm entitled to my opinion on his methods. And here's a personal note to Ms. Carr: your pro-abortion zealotry, madam, has led to the destruction of thousands of potential human beings. So, don't take that righteous tone with me. Also, you flat-out lied in your Post op-ed, and you should be ashamed."
Then, Bernie addressed people blaming him for that other church shooting.
This segment has not been posted on FOXNews.com. Since this is somewhat Olby-related, should it be posted here at J$P? Johnny?
Tamron Hall earned herself emeritus guest status on "Countdown." Who knew she was such a radical Kos-loving zealot?

I mean, why didn't she just drop internet memes while she was at it? "Keith Olbermann totally pwned Limbaugh. FTW." You know, nonsense like that.

Exactly!
I was struck by THAT aspect too, Mike.
It was embarrassing to hear a network news person sound like the plethora of college-aged-mentality blog denizens, with her 'smack down' scenario sort of reference to simple rebuttal.

Could you imagine Jane Skinner or Martha MacCallum, two of FNC's female daytime anchors, doing that about an FNC commentator?
So, how did Mary Alice Carr lie in her column? Tim Graham answered that question on NewsBuster.
