I read this story earlier.
I completely agree with Bill Oreilly on this one.
Slanted biasness is one thing (that is expected from both sides), but to base a show on a killer murdering illegal immigrants kids. Then directly implying his motives are flamed by right-wing media.
Cmon guys Oreilly had every right to be outraged!

This is not the first nor will it be the last time L&O take a story out of the headlines and spin it. If you recall in season 1 of the original L&O, there was a spin on the Tawana Brawley/Al Sharpton fiasco. There were spins on Governor Spitzers case, spin on Michael Jackson case that is what all three versions of L&O is about. This is the first time i've EVER heard of "bias" claims after 20 years. Still LMAO

He learned from Pukin' Palin that if you think your popularity/attention is flagging get all upset about something that you can demand an apology for....doesn't matter how stupid, just whine and mewl....your repug followers love whining and mewling and you get your name in the news.....and , most important of all, you make more money.

Wow I honestly never watch the show. Besides the obvious liberal biasness, is it a good cop drama?

Maybe you should watch...Not only is the show NOT POLITICAL BIAS show at all, but their ALL very good shows hence the reason they've been on for so long. The show pulls stories from the headlines and put their own spin on them. You can find repeats on NBC, TNT, USA just to name a few channels. Its biased in your mind because O'reilly felt they were picking on him.

I pointed out this episode to my wife. I noted that all of the "extreme" people the talked about in the case were right wing. I found that a bit odd.

Even funnier, last night on Bones, the Fox show, they had a similar episode where somebody was broadcasting pretty anti-American anarchist BS.

Thank you for being objective over partisan.

Law and Order lost major points in my book.

They mentioned these people all by proper name. Much different than using ficticious characters loosely based on current topics.

I am sure you are intelligent enough to see the difference.

I remember seeing a list online a year ago of all the people, tv programs, universities who O'Reilly called "Far-Left" and a competing list of the people and organizations he called "Far-Right". The far-Left list is too long to remember, but the far-Right list was the KKK, Neo-Nazi organizations, and the John Birch Society.

I wish I could find it, oh well

What does that have to do with anything related to this situation?

A fictional show used real people to write a story which lambasts their points of view, even so much as to say that it is turning people into child killers.

That is much different than a political commentator commenting on current events.

You can tell the difference between fiction and non-fiction right?
