      "O'Reilly the Tiller Killer"
      Wouldn't that make a great Fictional Thriller?
      Dr. Tiller gets shot dead and this Clown feigns Sorry.
      Fox News has no Shame & Mr. O'Reilly's integrity is impossible to Quarry.

      Speak truth to power.


      Mr. News

      O'Reilly joins Beck and Dobbs in praising Tapper

      I believe that is what is known as a 'circle-jerk'.

      Tapper asked a relevant question and asked in a way that did not project an opinion. Gibbs could have provided a perfectly good explanation, that when an organization willfully distorts the truth and then calls it news, as Fox has been doing, it is important for everyone to speak out. But, he whiffed it.

      This isn't Tapper defending Fox, it's Gibbs getting a relevant question and completely botching the answer.

      I'm missing the Tiller connection?

      Lets put down our allegiance here for a minute.

      Its the WH's job to govern the nation, not the media, its the media's job to tell us what the heck is going on. Is it good if we lose free speech, is it good, if news organizations have to worry about reporting the facts to us if its not all rosy?

      Do you think the WH is looking out for you or themselves more?

      Do you want train the media to tell you the truth when things are all goody-goody and lie to you when something going on within our government that is questionable, because of fear from the WH?

      God!! Tapper's such an idiot...........now they will use him to no end or at least until he's no longer "suitable".....And while I'm on this topic, is any one else sick and tired of the argument that the complaint of Fox isn't indicative of the entire network, but only the opinion shows? Even if that was the case, "opinion" shows, bear at the very least, the responsibility of factual commentary to base their so-called opinions on, not made up or grossly distorted fallicies. Since when did having an opinion show become an excuse for the shameful actions of these sorts? Last time I checked, it was Fox "News", not the "E" channel or the Food Network, where entertainment belongs. Joe Scarbourough, Tapper, and other "Fox-aid" drinking fools, should be embarrassed, but I guess for that to happen, you would actually have to care..........
