FoxNews.com article refers to Al Franken as a satirist
I wonder how O'Reilly will react to this in light of his editorial in yesterday's Daily News titled "Calling Al Franken a satirist is a farce".

Franken, a satirist (emphasis mine) and former writer for "Saturday Night Live," admitted in a letter last month that he deliberately tried to mislead Ashcroft when he sought personal information from him.

2. That Will Undermine Fox's Case By Calling Him a Satirist
Because Franken's use of the term "Fair and Balanced" was obviously used IN SATIRE.

4. Ah, the danger of being a hypocrite
eventually, your own words will hang you...

Couldn't happen to a more deserving whining punk than b.o.

"wahhhh, shut up!" (oops, hope the pretend "journalist" doesn't have "shut up" trademarked - fubo)
