From LiberalViewer's info section:




Bill O'Reilly on Fox News has attacked the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and its members, like me, a lot lately, including the bogus attack I deconstruct in this video regarding the ACLU's support for releasing photos and other information about abuse and torture in several prisons run by the U.S. military.

The clips of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News that I use in this video come from the "Talking Points Memo" (and subsequent discussion) on May 15, 2009, some of which you can find in a transcript on the Fox News website at: http://tinyurl.com/TrashACLU

The clips of ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero on CNN's "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull" program come from the episode aired on May 13, 2009, the full transcript of which is at: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0905/13/ec.01.html

The clip of former Vice President Dick Cheney comes from his May 21, 2009, speech to the American Enterprise Institute (as covered by Fox News) that you can find in full at: http://www.aei.org/video/101099

The clips of ACLU of Northern California staff attorney Ann Brick come from the May 13, 2009, CBS5 segment available online at: http://cbs5.com/video/?id=50108@kpix.dayport.com

The clip of ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero on CBS' "Face The Nation" program comes from the May 17, 2009, episode you can find at: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5020699n

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

1. What freakin' holier than thou America is FNN living in ?
This is NOT a political right wing or left wing talking point to prove their America is Patriotic and mine isn't. I watch BBC America most of the time to get a true fair and balanced story. Have to watch FNN to get Limbaugh, Morris, O'reilly, Hannity's message to Newt and Drill Baby Drill Michael Steele. This is about our Constitution, I think it's a shame and a sin that it's okay to go on national news and blogs and say well it was only done to three of the terrorists. Torture is Torture, in MY America torture is a war crime. If we don't do something and another country does about war crimes we will look even worse on a global scale.

Hannity's America sure ain't My America ! http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138

2. Good analysis
It does seem to be the running meme on MSM, the problem is having the public see the pics and be outraged not the fact that the pics exist as proof of war crimes.

3. Your making too much sense
Its amazing how our news services in this country have deteriorated so badly. And its not just FAUX, its all of the MSM. There is no room anymore for rational thoughtful conclusions like you present. Its who can yell and interrupt the loudest and most.
