Come on... do you really think that other reporters never swear when the camera isn't rolling? Of course, when some liberal does it, many defend him. Double standard!

The Rathergate scandal a few years ago shows how ridiculous those leftist stations are; there has never been a scandal on Fox News remotely similar to that one.
I think Bill O'Reilly's personal life is so scandalous that he's maxed out in the department of credibility.

And no, I've never seen/heard anyone on TV swear or throw a tantrum as he did. But of course I'd love a link to back up your statement.

In Defense Of Bill O'Reilly

As posted in the link, the boy filed a police report when his new bike was stolen, yet did not mention that he was the kidnapped boy.

You have got to be kidding me? He phrased it wrong, then the media took it out of context? I saw and heard with my own two eyes and my own two ears. He said what he said. No one took anything out of context. I saw in on the air when it was originally aired.

So you are blaming the little boy for not saying anything to the police? As a child, were you ever kidnapped, raped and then threatened to be killed if you told anyone? Adults never intimidated you when you were a child?

Do you have any sort of common sense?

Hmm, as I was channel surfing and I came across Red Eye. Carrie Ann Brown (I guess she was trying to be cool?) had to be bleeped because she said the F word. She was on the air. Where is the professionalism?

Olbermann is a commentator. Rather is a real journalist dating way back when. I am over the hill but remember one of the tenets of being a real journalist (as I almost did this in college) was to report only the facts with no entertainment value involved. We don't have that anymore. I think Walter Conkrite was a real journalist (ie credible news reporter).

Who is Carrie Ann Brown? Is she a news reporter? Or commentator on the news on a reputable channel?

another professional agitator. his job is to work you up. if you are not angry, then he has failed. he is human like everybody else. many get on TV and radio dress up like conservatives (or liberals) but they rarely are who they portray.
hey rosie, where you gonin with that gun in your hand...(jimmie hendrix, hey joe, sing it)

That might not be her name. I am looking for it.

She is on FOX News. She usually does the news updates during the middle of whatever show is on.

Edit Update: Her name is Patti Ann Browne. Sorry for any confusion.
