        "Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly"

        That's about it as far as getting his facts right.

        If you shout your guests down, interrupt them repeatedly and wag your finger at them, you don't need any facts. Outrage and rudeness trumps facts, don't ya know?

        Was he wrong when he declared Obama's Cairo speech a big success? Was he wrong when he stated that Acorn did not get any money in the stimulus bill? Was he wrong when he ststed that Acorn was only a minor player in the upcoming census?

      First the hundreds of news articles and opinion pieces on Bill 'Tiller Killer' O'Reilly, and now an in your face national network slam of Bill's lies about CNN's coverage.

      Not a good week for old Bill.

        BillO just apologized to the "snide" Sanchez. He claimed he was talking about prime time coverge but neglected to say so. Even when he's been caught lying, he still has some sort of excuse.

      That was a smackdown of the highest order of Billo. The Sanchez piece is so much more informative about how O'Reilly smeared his competition. Maybe Olberman can learn a few things.

        Totally agree. And Bill O'Reilly is just stupid enough to find a way to take exception to Sanchez's thorough butt kicking. He'll probably blame his blatant falsehood on the guy who agreed with him.

            I don't think he can defend himself with a straight face on this one. They so clearly demonstrated that he's full of sh*t, he'd be better off to just ignore it, or apologize for being 200% WRONG.

        Also noteworthy is now Sanchez does it with reserved demeanor and without any personal insults toward O'Rielly or anyone associated with Fox News.

        Anytime O'Reilly's got a grievance with another network, it's a childish, bombastic smear fest.

          That is what I liked best. He did not turn into the bufoonish clown O'Reilly is. Sometimes Keith drowns out his claims about O'Reilly when he loses that reserved demeanor Sanchez displayed so brilliantly.

      How high does the evidence against Bill O'Reilly have to stack up for his superiors to finally take notice and tell him wise up and grow up?

      It can go to the freakin' MOON before Ailes and Murdoch even dream of disciplining their ratings stalwart.

      Holy Crap. O'Reilly just got his head handed to him. I LOVE IT!

      THIS is how to deal with FOX "News" and the Talk Radio Troglodytes.... highlight their lies and demonstrate why they're lies. If other networks besides MSNBC do this often enough, eventually all but the most brain-dead dittobots will start to take notice; FOX "news" will be seen for what it truly is... a joke.

      It will take a lot of effort and persistence, but it CAN be done, and it IS worth doing.

        I agree with ya. It can be done but getting the other MSM's to join in is the trick. I've been trying for awhile to get people to challenge people like Rush,Hannity,BillO,Beck and these so called conservative talkers to a PUBLIC DEBATE but not getting anywhere. None of these guys can handle a public debate. It would really make all of them look like a Ahole if they did. Why do you think Rush,Hannity,and all of these so called conservative stay in radio stations and never come out in public? They know the public would tear them a new one. It will never happen though.

          I watched O'Reilly make a fool of Marvin Kalb on his show when Kalb asked what he thought were a couple of gotcha questions to O'Reilly. He handled that quite well. Who would you propose he debate, Olbermann? Maddow? You? Be careful what you wish for. Although I might agree with you on Hannity , he isn't much better than Olbermann.

      Once again, B.O'Reilly is shown to be nothing more than a propaganda windbag.
      I give Faux gossip 2 more years, and the loss of their FCC license.
      Especially if more people do what Sanchez did.

      Bill doesn't stop lying even when he is caught lying. Notice Bill claim he meant prime time but clearly in the clip from Sanchez on CNN, he talks about the coverage or lack thereof being "all day."

        Even in his "rare correction" bit, he said he meant primetime... though, yes, he did originally say, "nobody else...all day long".

        It's like him and Malmedy ("Even though I repeatedly said that, I totally meant Normandy!") all over again.

        Loyal viewers (baaaaaahhh) know what he "meant to say". Nevermind if he omitted it or said THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
