I may to if I was a conspiracy theorist.


If it wasn't coming from the folks in the #3 (far far away) I might give them more credibility.

Considering it was coming from the former White House press secretary that garnished undue adulation during his tenure in front of the press but is now considered more vile than herpes because he betrayed their faith.

One would think that a Fox news/entertainment viewer might be upset or concerned that they didn't simply promote the views of a particular political persuasion but instead acted more like something from the desires of Goebbels. Makes no difference which news/entertainment outlet acted in this manner as it was a gross misuse of public trust to further partisanship and personal gain, but it is sad that people will attempt to rationalize and justify this because criticism comes from the opposition.

It is like watching people trying to justify the rape of a child because they agree with NAMBLA.

So his book deal has no bearing (best seller)? His ability to even bring in income from that book has him now with an unbiased opinion?


I watched him in front of the oversight committee....he avoided every question possible. Then leaves and comes out with his own book....


Yup no agenda there.


Comparing this to rape is a joke at best.


I guess you also missed the part where he says both sides. when put on the spot.


They didn't play that part long they focused one 1/2 of his statement.


Don't believe me watch again.

Default McClellan: Bush Administration Controls Agenda on Fox News

I can just hear all the pundits that counted on Fox for their daily dose of 'fair and balanced' cringing right now. How could this be????? They seemed so sincere! O'Reilly just recently calling talk of 'torture' Anti-American.

What a disgrace of a news source. I put more stock into Al-Jazeera than I do Fox News.

They all issue talking points to evry network. That;s just part of responding to news enquires.Every presidentail campaign gives out talking point even to teh extent that they give them to supporters who might be interviewed.
