Watch the usual liberal goon squads stamp their feet, cuss & insult the
messenger, but NEVER actually address the FACTS of this issue. Your see,
these liberal medias CANNOT dispute the slanted smearing they are both
promoting and cheering because their reports speak for themselves.

1. CBS News Disreputably Promotes Left-Wing Smear of Bill O'Reilly
The morning after CNN and MSNBC began salivating over a potential
"Imus moment" pushed by a far-left group to suppress Bill O'Reilly over a
supposedly racist remark, CBS and NBC on Wednesday advanced the liberal
group's cause with multi-part segments on the topic. But while NBC's Today
at least provided some balance and proper labeling, CBS's Early Show, with
"In Hot Water" and "O'Race Factor" on screen, aired a story which failed to
identify the ideology of Media Matters and followed with Julie Chen pressing
the only guest to agree O'Reilly's comment was racist and that he must issue
an apology. Amazingly, neither show bothered to mention that Juan Williams,
the black journalist who was on O'Reilly's radio show when the FNC host made
the remarks in question, defended O'Reilly: "It had nothing to do with
racist ranting by anybody except these idiots at CNN." Harry Smith teased
Wednesday's Early Show: "Bill O'Reilly in hot water over race remarks..."
Chen hyped a "firestorm" over O'Reilly before reporter Bianca Solorzano
innocuously described Media Matters as a "watchdog group." Solorzano asked
an employee at the Harlem restaurant O'Reilly talked about: "Do you feel
Bill O'Reilly's comments about his meal here are racist?" The woman
affirmed: "Definitely."
2. MSNBC Graphic Defames O'Reilly: 'Anchor's Racist Comments'
On Wednesday, an MSNBC graphic flat-out accused Bill O'Reilly of being
a racist. It read: "Anchor's Racist Comments." Within the graphic, there was
no accompanying question mark to at least add the benefit of the doubt.
During the 11am EDT hour of MSNBC News Live, anchor Contessa Brewer
discussed a liberal group's attack over O'Reilly's comments about eating at
a black restaurant. A second graphic, below the host, did offer some slight
uncertainty. It asked: "Anchor's Racist Comments? Bill O'Reilly Comes Under
Fire for Description of Black Restaurant." Brewer discussed the issue with
Paul Waldman of Media Matters and Republican strategist Joe Watkins. At one
point, Watkins noted that both he and the host had previously been attacked
by the liberal organization. Brewer defensively replied, "And, by the way,
I'm not a conservative." The host appeared to be sympathetic to the idea
O'Reilly's comments, which originated on the September 19 edition of his
radio show, had some sort of negative intention. She opened the segment by
asserting the Fox News host is "now at the center of a heated debate about
racist language."
3. On CNN, O'Reilly is 'Ahmadinejad,' Juan Williams a 'Happy Negro'
Even after the Juan Williams' "idiots at CNN" rebuke, CNN still
pressed on about Bill O'Reilly's race remarks, and a guest on Wednesday's
Newsroom took the language being used against O'Reilly and Williams to new
lows. Syracuse University professor and blogger Boyce Watkins appeared on
the CNN program, and compared O'Reilly to a murderous movie villain and to
Iranian President Ahmadinejad: "If the villain in a movie comes up and says,
'I love you very much,' that usually means he wants to kill you. The fact is
that Bill O'Reilly is a guy who has made a career demeaning, degrading, and
devaluing every black institution he can get his hands on....You know, he's
about like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, when it comes to making ridiculous
assertions and waiting for people to respond." After his villain/Ahmadinejad
comparison, Watkins blasted NPR host and Fox News contributor Juan Williams
for coming to O'Reilly's defense. O'Reilly's race comments had come from an
hour of his radio program that involved a segment with Williams. "Juan
Williams sitting there, is sort of the 'Happy Negro' agreeing with Bill
O'Reilly, doesn't impress me at all. A man cannot walk into your home and
congratulate your mother for not being a prostitute and not expect you to be
offended."
4. NPR Snubs Interview With the President, So It Airs on Fox News
Does National Public Radio have a nose for news? Or a nose that's
offended by the scent of President Bush? NPR news boss Ellen Weiss snubbed
an exclusive interview opportunity with President Bush. Washington Post
media reporter Howard Kurtz reported Wednesday that the White House offered
NPR's Juan Williams an interview on race relations, but NPR didn't want it
on its airwaves. So on Monday it aired instead on the Fox News Channel.
Williams told Kurtz he was "stunned" by NPR's decision: "It makes no sense
to me. President Bush has never given an interview in which he focused on
race....I was stunned by the decision to turn their backs on him and to turn
their backs on me." Fox was even sharper. "NPR's lack of news judgment is
astonishing, and their treatment of a respected journalist like Juan
Williams is appalling," said Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti.
5. Matthews 'Warming Up To' Hillary, Chris Wallace an 'Ignoramus'
On Wednesday's Countdown, just minutes before the beginning of the
night's Democratic debate coverage on MSNBC, Chris Matthews remarked that he
was "warming up to Hillary these days," while host Keith Olbermann responded
that "I don't have anything to warm up from." Matthews also attacked Fox's
"partisanship" and suggested that its anchor of Fox News Sunday, Chris
Wallace, is an "ignoramus." He charged: "When [Wallace is] the one that took
down her husband a few months ago and he's talking about excessive
partisanship....He's there representing Fox Television putting down
partisanship. What? Of course she had to laugh. What else could she say,
'You're an ignoramus'?"
