I liked the last 3/4 of what he pointed out, I noticed it while watching O'Lielly the other day and am glad CNN picked up on it but... "We did the fair and balanced thing and pointed out that the tone of Faux's coverage has changed a bit since the Bush years". "Changed a bit"?!? It's changed a LOT and not in the way he's implying.

From http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/kurtz-slams-oreilly-unfair-editing">Crooks and Liars

In a segment complaining about how his remarks were taken out of context by Jon Stewart, Bill O'Reilly managed to take Ann Kornblut's comments about him...out of context. Jon Stewart pointed out how O'Reilly's views on protesters had changed since right wing protesters had begun appearing at health care town halls. O'Reilly is known for referring to liberal protesters as "loons" but now openly defends the right wing protesters causing distractions at town hall events. O'Reilly complained that Stewart had taken his comments out of context.

CNN's Howard Kurtz points out that O'Reilly is also guilty of the same "unfair editing" that he accused Stewart of doing. O'Reilly used a clip of Ann Kornblut explaining Stewart's criticism of O'Reilly to suggest that she agreed with Jon Stewart. Kornblut had actually provided a mild criticism of Stewart. O'Reilly had selectively edited the Kornblut clip to fit his agenda.

3. Ann Kornblut might not be the best one to defend Stewart -

"... first-ish..."?

7. He murdered Tiller as sure as if he'd pulled the trigger himself. The "mother saver" no longer saves

moms in crisis during last trimester of pregnancy and now are doomed to die and leave their other children motherless due to O'Reilly's profiteering for ratings off a medical practice he knew nothing about. He's trash. A vile sociopath who cannot suffer enough for his crimes. Even multimillionaires are not immune to horrible fatal diseases.

8. Have you ever stood between a pair of parallel mirrors?

Or pointed a video camera at a monitor showing its own live feed?

I think I saw the pictures in this video embedded to a depth of FOUR!

Seriously, how meta can you get???
