      Actually, if this is your best evidence, you don't have a leg to stand on. O'Reilly compared alleged killings of German soldiers by Americans with Americans who undeniably killed Iraqi civilians. The American soldiers hunted down the people who were shot in Iraq. The Germans who were shot in WW II were not hunted down, and were not civilians, and your link doesn't show the most egregious example of Bill O'Reilly making this false allegation. It was his repeated error that makes him a liar. Olbermann pointing out O'Reilly repeated, uncorrected error, doesn't make Olbermann a liar. That's from the first link, and the other two are equally weak and without basis. Contrast that with the points that Media Matters made. Apples and oranges.

        O'Reilly's mistake was explained and taken in context it was clear what he meant. On the other hand olbermann's comments were clear lies and misrepresentations.

  The problem about claiming this will be a "million-man march", something that Fox appears to love rubbing in the face of the black community (Read: Cavuto):
  There will be too many "tea parties" going on to get a decent count. However, if the big "Michelle Malkin March" in D.C. last February is evidence, they're guaranteed 30 people.

  This clip doesn't include the best part of the segment. At the very end, as Chris is trying to get out of the segment , Stephen Moore asks Chris a question, at the moment I forget what it is, and Chris respondes "What is this amateur hour? Get back in you box Moore"
