In that context, it's clear Obama isn't saying insurance execs are bad people.

9/10/2009 11:09:46 PM

yeah, I wasn't responding to Hannity referring to Obama's words as "harsh"

The problem is, Obama said this: "insurance executives aren't bad people"
and Hannity reported as this: "Obama said insurance executives are bad people"

then they watched a clip of Obama saying "insurance executives aren't bad people"
and instead of correcting Hannity on the proper interpretation of the sentence, Luntz supported Hannity and said that "Obama is trying to demonize a segment of American society"

9/10/2009 11:19:17 PM

Hannity, "Obama says A"

Obama, "B"

AND NO ONE WILL FUCKING CALL HIM OUT ON IT EVER. FUCK THE MEDIA.

9/10/2009 11:20:44 PM

Not just any old "B" either...an explicit "inverse of A." Or opposite or whatever you call it.

9/10/2009 11:24:07 PM

agentlion, to be fair, Obama did say "Insurance execs are bad people." He just didn't mean that. It is the product of the way he said it. But, hannity is still being a douche bag

9/10/2009 11:33:08 PM

Holy shit, he did.

That's hilarious.

9/11/2009 12:44:46 AM

John Stossel just announced that he's moving to Fox.

I'm sure this is old, but I seriously thought this was Laura Ingraham spoofing O'Reilly's Inside Edition clip when I first began to watch it.

I just read that Glenn Beck wrote The Christmas Sweater.

hilarious

9/17/2009 1:35:30 PM

hannity is such a douche.

i really hate people that dont even want to hear the other side of the story

9/17/2009 9:53:21 PM

you must hate a lot of liberals, too, then

9/18/2009 1:38:03 AM

as a matter of fact, i do

but hannity gets under my skin moreso than any political commentator out there on either side

9/18/2009 3:53:04 PM

i will admit that Olberman gets under my skin. he's the left's version of Bill OReilly.

and theres this morning host on AM 1090 Progressive Radio here in seattle, who absolutely drives me nuts to listen to. she's some sort of liberal icon with a lot of lefties out here, but i think shes a shrill toolbag.

but the intolerant, incurious blowhards are exceptions on the left, and most left leaning people take them with a grain of salt.

contrariwise, these kind of people all over the place on teh right, and they attract armies of stupid people to them like shit draws flies.

Mine too. I wish he would take it down a notch, especially when he does those stupid voices. But, he is no Hannity.

Rick Sanchez Eviscerates Fox News: "YOU LIE"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjrhOp-kViY

major pwnage when he starts getting on promoting vs. cover

9/19/2009 5:14:55 PM

I wonder if he would eviscerate the other networks for their shenanigans. I doubt it

9/19/2009 5:17:06 PM

Have any of "the other networks" made such an egregious and false claim against CNN?

9/19/2009 5:25:28 PM

if another network took out a full page add based on something that was patently false, rick sanchez might have to smack a bitch

9/19/2009 5:28:04 PM

*cough*CBS*cough*

9/19/2009 5:31:41 PM

CBS took out a full page ad?

9/19/2009 5:34:26 PM

no, they one-upped Fox. They ran a 60 minutes episode based on blatant bullshit lies

9/19/2009 5:50:20 PM

Fox runs an entire 24 hour news network based on bullshit lies

CBS admitted their mistake though, let’s see if Fox does the same thing.

9/19/2009 6:06:52 PM

lying to rig a presidential election >>>>>>>> lying to get ratings

9/19/2009 6:16:38 PM

Fox does both?

9/19/2009 6:22:25 PM

you're giving cbs a lot of credit if you think that would have changed the outcome, but it wasn't ok either. the difference is that cbs apologized and admitted their mistake. to my knowledge, fox news does not do that.

9/19/2009 6:24:36 PM

no, anytime hannity or beck lies on air, they never come out and apologize.

its sickening. i hate that these 2 clowns have become the face of my party

9/19/2009 7:44:39 PM

don't forget limbaugh, who thinks everything is about race

9/20/2009 3:23:54 AM

They're awful. Not only are they making us look stupid now, but they're polluting the future. It will be many years before news can have a remotely Republican slant and be taken seriously by people who are, you know, sane and/or literate.

9/20/2009 4:17:28 AM

why should we accept news that has a Republican slant? Or a Democratic slant? Or any slant?

9/20/2009 4:20:13 AM

I said "remotely" and I meant it. At this point, any news that makes Republicans look good seems unreliable.

And while I agree with you in principle that news shouldn't have any slant whatsoever, for the time being I accept it as an inevitability that the various sources will inevitably have one. Since most people aren't going to go out of their way to seek out unbiased news, about the best I can hope for right now is that they get it from one of the less-biased sources.

My experience has been that CNN Headline News (just the news -- not the pundit shows) is best for television, with MSNBC being worst on the left and Fox News being worst on the right. In the car, I listen to NPR, because for all of the liberal stigma it carries I have picked up on less bias there than anywhere else.

9/20/2009 4:25:55 AM

9/20/2009 4:31:18 AM

CNN has a new commercial calling out Fox News
"Distorting, not Reporting"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igZZzs3MR7Y

9/20/2009 7:31:20 AM

Is it just me or do i sense a division within fox news, where bill oreilly and several others are defecting from the now popular Beck/Hannity camp
they are recently starting to say things that really fly in the face of this new movement
agreeing with public option, agreeing with obama's missle defense decision
i think they realize that they want nothing to do with the craziness that beck brings, and also may have some jealousy of his popularity

9/20/2009 12:43:47 PM

^ i haven’t seen the video of these Oreilly statements, but Oreilly has a way sometimes of disagreeing with something by agreeing with it… he did it during the election regarding Obama’s musical choices. You have to pay attention to the subtext of his statements.

9/20/2009 12:55:57 PM

There was no ambiguity, he said it and also acknowledged how it was against popular view while talking to chris wallas
its not hard to imagine that oreilly does not like beck
he was talking to beck on his show the other day and was disagreeing with basically eveything beck said
like bringing up how czars have been around a long time, etc
also this is not the first time, oreilly has fought with limbaugh and other right wing conservative radio host so he doest exactly march along with them

9/20/2009 2:03:17 PM

O'reilly can be called many things, but "ideologue" is not one of them, and that has always been the case.

9/20/2009 3:16:08 PM

hannity and beck are extremists who rarely, if at all, bring in opposing views


oreilly makes a case for every argument, and brings in panels from all sides

like him or not, hes a lot better than the crap on msnbc at the same time

9/20/2009 3:37:30 PM

oreilly brings on counterpoint opinions, but then shouts over them and doesn't let them speak. it's better, but he's no saint.

"Fox News Producer Caught Rallying 9/12 Protest Crowd In Behind-The-Scenes Video "

Quote :

"A Fox News Channel producer has been caught in a behind-the-scenes video rallying the crowd during last weekend's 9/12 protest in Washington. The Huffington Post has confirmed that the woman in the below video — seen raising her arms to rally the crowd behind Griff Jenkins, who was reporting from the scene for Fox News — is Fox News producer Heidi Noonan. "The employee is a young, relatively inexperienced associate producer who realizes she made a mistake and has been disciplined," Bryan Boughton, Fox News Channel Washington Bureau Chief told the Huffington Post. The video shows the producer on her cell phone as she urges the crowd behind Jenkins to cheer louder. An "I'm A Foxaholic" poster appears nearby. The 9/12 movement has been championed by Glenn Beck, and is designed to "bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001" when "we were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created." Fox News heavily promoted the protest event, and took out an ad in newspapers Friday asking how other news networks could "miss [the] story," only to have competitors hit back with proof that they covered the protest extensively.
