O'Reilly says Obama "doesn't really have anything to do with ACORN," calls his work on their lawsuit "a legitimate deal"

Between the heat he took for inciting violence against the murdered Dr Tiller and that upstart Glenn Beck horning in on his territory, Bill needs a new schtick.

Maybe he's going for the elder statesman look.

I hate to even admit this. Up until we invaded Iraq I was alot more conservative. I used to watch fox alot and O'Reilly in particular. I disagreed with him fairly often but I could always see his side. He was much more moderate. Actually pretty fair most of the time. But, after 9/11 when fox took the "mask" off and went full wing nut that’s when stuff changed and quick. O'Reilly became much more vitriolic and confrontational. At first I thought it was because he was angry and afraid after 9/11. And that may have been true to an extent, but now I see it for what it has become. He craves the power and the money and the fame, and he will do ANYTHING to hold onto that illusion for as long as he can. But I also think that every once in a great while, the old Bill returns for a brief moment when he feels a pang of remorse for all the hate and suffering he causes to prop himself up. I will not watch his show anymore other than some clips because I actually kind of feel bad for bill. For all he is trying to achieve, when he dies he will be forgotten within a generation.

I just can't see him as being reasonable.

Me either. He must be having hot phone sex, with several ACORN employees.

The Democratic Party has lost so many supporters in just 6 months. How the fcuk did that happen?


Simple, they don't deliver what they promise, their plans are poorly designed and they don't represent the real wishes of the American people.

And BTW, it isn't MMFA that gives anyone a platforn, the people you refer to have a platforn because people want to hear what they have to say. Contrast that with the dismal performance of the liberal competition that arises from time to time. They fail.And eventually disappear. I am wondering when Phil Donahue will try again, or how about the delightful pairing of Jerry Springer and Jeaneane Garafalo. Wow, such fine representatives of the liberal point of view.

hey "TheAncients"...i personally understand your concern, and i shared them at one point.

But i think you miss the point, Media Matters is not a "channel" and they are not responsible for broadcasting news (at least as far as i can tell living outside the US), MMFA points out the flaws and wrongs of the media and raise awareness about them. The Becks and Limbaughs of the World will definitely hate on MMFA and that is just proof that they are full of utter NONSENSE.

If MMFA and others who fact check comments made in media were not there to call all these people out; the country would be so misguided it would be even scarier than it is now. Unfortunately, i also see why sometimes some broadcasting channels also report on Rush/Beck and others, as much as we may just want to ignore them, they DO cause enough ruckus to warrant/require them to be reported; now, THIS IS DEFINITELY a shame, it would be nice to just ignore them and pray to goodness that they crawl back under the slimy rock they came out of, but in the modern information age, they are here to stay...we can only do what we can to CALL THEM OUT and hope people see them for what they really are.

But your concern is definitely shared.

Ps: Oh, i kind of feel sorry for O' Reilly trying to do something good and state some factual things while at the same time trying to keep the 'Fox line' standing...KUDOS FOR EFFORT Bill!

You caught him on a good night.

You've missed a lot.

I'm thinking that he is feeling remorse for his part in the death of Dr. George Tiller. I think he finally figured out that words CAN kill and false words such as the ones he continually spews kill faster.
