What about edited tapes?

Your words. Enjoy
They don't broadcast in Canada. They broadcast to Canada but not from Canada. There is a big difference there. I can assure you that if a lying piece of crap network like fox tried to produce such tripe and broadcast such crap from Canada, about Canadians, for Canadians it would just not be allowed by our CRTC standards.

I know from facts that CNN is lying in Europe and that everything they see there is biased crap stories.

They are just as bad as fox, maybe even a little more dangerous as their pundits seem to have a lot more on the ball than over at fox.

Hmmmm.....and yet Fox continues to beat all of the competition in the sought-after 25-54 demographic. Good try, no cigar:

Bill O'Reilly is FAR from "TEA Party" ... he is very much an establishment Republican.

I am 26 and I watch FOX News on the rare occasions that I actually watch the news on TV. People my age get their news from websites and breaking news emails, we don't watch the news and read newspapers like my grandparents did when they were alive.

Can't speak for everyone but most people in my circle of friends also tune in to FNC when they (rarely) actually watch the news on TV. I gravitate towards conservatism so most of my friends are also conservatives or at least lean center-right.

Yep, the whole "eat the rich" philosophy sounds pretty good when you're 22 and don't have a pot to pee in.

But by the time you get some years under your belt you start to realize that you don't really have to be "rich" to be on the menu.

Bill would be classified as a RINO by many on the hard right.

Hmmm.....

"Killing Jesus"

"Killing Lincoln"

"Killing Kennedy"

and coming this fall, "Killing Patton"

Is it just me or does anyone else notice a very weird and disturbing pattern to the subjects of O'Reilly's books?

Why is he so fixated on the assassinations of famous leaders?

Perhaps the Secret Service should start a file on him.
