      Shoot... If I knew O'Rielly was showing porn, I might tune in more often! Were they any falafels?

      Pat's going to take it out again after 9 o'clock?

      Pat Buchanan the MSNBC flasher. He was going to retire but decided to stick it out for another year.

      (apologies to Rodney Dangerfield.)

      I begin to think that Morning Joe is attempting to try and be seen as one of the good guys by condemning BillO...

      He's hurting his chances at being given a job over at Fox. Where he would fit in much better!

      Or perhaps the Morning Joe crew was using the excuse that BillO is a sick hypocrite by showing semi-pornographic scenes on their own show.

      Notice how the Morning Joe crew also, while condemning BillO for showing the clips... were showing the clips as well!

      If the images are so bad and distasteful... oh forget it... I give up trying to understand corporate owned media.

        To be fair, I really don't think thta Joe Scar WOULD fit in very well over at Fox. He may be conservtive, and I truly believe that he TRULY BELIEVES in conservatism, but I've never seen Scarborough resort to anywhere near the level of intellectual dihonsety, or for that matter outright dishonesty, that big 3 Fox hosts (Beck, Hannity, O'Rielly) regularly deal in. I think he actually wants to do a good job. And occasioanlly he even manages to. For a con, he's WAY too good from Fox.

          He's also not afraid to call out Republicans. I've heard him do that several times on his radio show.

          I would agree. At worst it's temporary insanity and a touch of jealousy that drives him to act like his more successful race baiting counterparts.

            once again you show that your willing to accept anything that fox tells you. i watched your link. if you notice that when billo does priases obama he cuts right after the praise. but if you go look at the whole video from those talking points he almost always follows up the praise with "but" and then goes on to be critical of him. and his pew reaserch poll is a garbage poll. they are the most balanced on cable. i would have to say that that in itself is a very subjective statement. after all, according to who? the 900 or so people polled? and what does it mean the most balanced on "cable"? does that mean that the networks are more fair?
            look. bottom line is that obama is right. fox spends it's entire day spinning obama's policies in a negitive light. your gonna have to to a whole lot better than an edited billo clip to make them seem fair. even when bill says that the pew poll shows them be fair you notice he says that that is a "fact" but what is a fact? that fox is fair or that pew did a poll?

                A moderator may have deleted it, but I wonder why? I'd hate to think that thier accusation of censorship on this site are accurate. Although Fairlib posts so much conservative nonsense, I can't imagine what s/he's writing that actually get's deleted. LOL.

                (And Fairlib? I do hope you realize that I truly value our "conversations." As much venom as I throw your way, they do typically end up amoung the high points of my day. That really doesn't say much about my typical day, but please keep posting all the same. If you are getting censored for BS (political) reasons, then THIS liberal will agree that it's BS and strongly request of MMFA that it stop.)

                  I agree with you. I actually do not need anyone's posts to be deleted. I understand that the crazy ones have to be because people like O'Reilly think a website must be held accountable for whatever it is their comments section. But, I think you let it all out and let the crazies and the ignorant embarrass themselves with their own statements.

              The whole "fair and balanced" bit is just a genius marketing ploy/catchphrase, it has nothing to do with what the viewers think. It's what they're TOLD to think. Like how O'Reilly is constantly saying he's just "looking out" for his viewers, so he can get away with doing, showing, or saying anything.

      Here's a suggestion: if you are to criticize television or visual media, how about criticizing it through PRINT media, and vice versa?

      Or how about just not showing it at all? No?

      Jon Stewart had a bit about the Foxie's Gretchen Carlson, Kilmeade, et al having a whine fest about Borat doing some silliness at the MTV awards or something. They thought it was soooo distasteful and untoward.

      Then Jon shows a clip of Kilmeade and Carlson participating in a very untoward and distasteful segment with some women tackling people while wearing lingerie.

      Hypocrites on stilts!

      Hey, I think Jon may have gotten to Scarborough a tad. Just sayin'.

          To be fair to "fair"-liberal. I was not responding to a post here. Mika was making the point that she would be amazed that anyone would be stupid enough to believe or defend O'Reilly on this, so I was using that to take a cheap shot at "fair"-liberal.

      Every time Fox News has another T&A feature, it's customary to flashback to the all-time Fox T&A classic.

      O'Reilly makes my skin crawl, but in all fairness, your headline is misleading because he wasn't speaking of "on air" porn, he was speaking of internet porn.
