O'Reilly: Fox Won't Air "Carnage Du Jour" From Iraq


Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly has lashed out at a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism that concluded that during the first three months of this year, while MSNBC devoted 31 percent of its "newshole" to the war in Iraq and CNN devoted 25 percent, Fox devoted only 15 percent. On his talk show Wednesday night, O'Reilly responded that the channel does not broadcast "the carnage du jour" because "that's exactly what the terrorists want us to do." On the other hand, he said, "CNN, and especially MSNBC, delight in showing Iraqi violence because they want Americans to think badly of President Bush, and that strategy has succeeded. So their Iraqi coverage is more political than informational."

1. He should stop broadcasting altogether then.
His blind militarism has been a huge boon for the recruitment of "terrorists." If he really wanted to piss of the terrorists, he'd cancel his show and get a sane liberal to take his place.

2. Surprised he didn't add:
" What the terrorists fear most is extended coverage on Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and Brittney Spears. They fear stories of missing white women. Stories that bully opponents of our ruling party scare them to death. Fox is doing its part to fight the terrorists."

5. I would like to think CNN, MSNBC, et al would show coverage of Iraq

regardless of who was president.

For someone who claims to against the way this war was carried out O'Reilly spends a lot of time covering up or excusing FOX's deficiencies as a news reporting outlet and Bush's deficiencies as a CIC.

6. Well, aren't Paris Hilton and the missing white girl much more important?
