Bill O’Reilly, a conservative commentator on Fox News masquerading as an “objective” talker, proved a point that I and a lot of other people have made about the inability of Fox News to give President Obama much of a fair shake in its coverage of this administration. O’Reilly and other Fox News people have been whining about President Obama’s comments about Fox News attacking his administration. To be fair, President Obama made those comments on CNBC in reference to a question about the media being too soft on him (so, it was not just some random bashing of Fox News for no rhyme or reason). Anyway, O’Reilly has jumped into the fight to defend Fox News (no big surprise there). To analyze President Obama’s comments one would expect O’Reilly to bring on a diverse panel of commentators to have a fair and complete discussion of the issue to truly let the people see both sides and decide on their own. Right? Wrong. O’Reilly brings on two conservatives (Dick Morris and Bernie Goldberg) to parrot his sentiment as they went arm-in-arm gallivanting around in an oasis of conservatism. Where were the liberals to truly have a thoughtful discussion on the topic? They were missing in action as three Fox News conservative employees joined forces to bash the president in a completely biased fashion.
News Hounds has a nice report. I would encourage you to visit their site and to read their blog entry on this topic very closely.
