1. You go, Bill.

When the NYT finds out that all your loyal listeners are going to cancel their subscriptions, they'll be sooo scared!

[Somawas]

2. I'm not watching 7 whole minutes of that ahole spewing.

[MineralMan]

3. Whassamatter Billy....Limbaugh getting too much attention?

Feeling left out? Wanna be the "leader of the GOP" like Rushie-poo?

Sorry, Billy...America wants people with brains, not people with stains.

[whistle]

4. Three minutes of that crap is all I can stand, they are saying nothing

...that hasn't been venomously spread over the air ways countless times before

[HopeHoops]

8. Ah, but they are saying nothing at once! You have to feed on hate to watch this stuff.

[EnviroBat]

5. Ooooo.

Bills irrelevance is TERRIFYING!!!

:scared:

[curiousdemo]

6. bla..bla..bla

His boss, (Rupert Murdock) stated several months ago...The New York Times is getting to Billy Boy. He stated, Billy Boy take things to personal. I enjoy the far left, as he would call us, is getting to him. He's a paranoid schizophrenia, and I love that to. I see him being admitted to a psycho ward in the near future. :crazy: :silly:

7. Tomorrow's Headline - "BIG YAWN! Falafel Guy Declares War On News"

9. Pinkerton denies the past he was so proud of just a year ago

On the O'Reilly whine-fest:

Pinkerton suggested that O'Reilly rebut by nailing the Times “on specific, factual errors, as you do all the time.”

Pinkerton further said that he planned to write a letter to the Times saying, “Look, you said that I was involved in the Willie Horton campaign of 1988. I wasn't.” Pinkerton added that then he and O'Reilly can go to the minority communities and tell them, “these guys are just not telling the truth and we can prove it chapter and verse.”

Actually, there's reason to believe that Pinkerton is the one not telling the truth. Pinkerton's involvement with the Willie Horton ad campaign, the racially charged ad used by George H.W. Bush (and FOX News chief Roger Ailes) to attack presidential candidate Michael Dukakis has been documented elsewhere by The Times, BBC, and The New York Review of Books, among others.

Not just those media organisations documented it - Pinkerton himself:

But Dukakis wasn’t destined to be the change that voters were looking for. He had been fatally wounded, politically, by Gore, back in April; he just didn’t know it. That seemingly little issue of the weekend passes for first-degree murderers just wasn’t going to go away.

In fact, it was my job, as the director of research -- as in "opposition research" -- in the George H.W. Bush for President campaign, to help make sure that talk about the passes didn’t go away. The Bush campaign took the state matter of prison furloughs and turned it into a national issue. The voters agreed: Bush 41, once written off as a wimpy loser, crushed Dukakis in a November landslide.

James Pinkerton, November 2007

'Truth', Pinkerton? Bring it on.

12. I'm wondering, did Reagan ever DO anything about

prison furloughs?

[ProfessorPlum]

14. Great job. Thanks for the links

[Gman]

10. Bill O'Really? is the Ed McMahon of new media

as soon as he goes to war with someone, their ratings or circulation, or hits on a website all increase. Best example is KO. O'Really? made what was then an obscure show that Phil Donahue was taken off of and helped build KO's ratings. Every time O'Really? blasts Media Matters as a vile hate-site their hits go up. There's lots of other examples. Same will happen with the NY Times.

[lib_wit_it]

17. Yep. Despite our family budget cutbacks, I'm seriously thinking now of subscribing to the NYT.

[louis-t]

11. He just lives in his own little world...

doesn't he?

[quidam56]

13. Yeah, the one where there is clean coal and no global warming.

15. It appears Fox only interviews its own anymore. Isn't that like talking to yourself?

Or in the case of O'lielly, muttering under your breath while pushing yourt shopping cart along.

[LaPera]

16. What an absolute fucking clown is the loudmouth liar O'Reilly!!

[SanchoPanza]

18. It's about Bill O'Reilly being an unrepentant racist

Not Culture War hogwash.

Not some conspiracy by leftists to get people to vote illegally.

It's about O'Reilly characterizing everyone who doesn't support his view on immigration policy as race traitors.

It's about this statement, made to John McCain, on the O'Reilly Factor during it's May 30th, 2007 broadcast:

"But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you're a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYmnSRLJkt4">Link

Before taking the battlefield against the Old Gray Lady, Mr. O'Reilly may want to be cautious about the unhealthy level of friendly-fire he seems to consistently receive from his own mouth.
