Hey Bull, when your own side calls you on your lies, just shut-up

the only problem with "the surge is working" spin is that it requires an indefinite stay by our troops. the insurgents simply melt away to other areas and then return after the troops leave.

An interesting video exposing Bill O's spin for the blarney it obviously is. Not only did Bill O data-mine NBC's coverage, he overlooked a wave of violence occuring in Iraq while he was pretending all's peace and calm.

Imagine what kind of people use Bill O'Reilly as their primary and most trusted source of news and political analysis. They're out there...   (Jeeez, that creeps me out!)

It should frighten any clear-thinking American.

Congratulations Joe Scarborough

For quickly combating O Reillys lies.  I really feel that OReillys days are numbered and FOX will change as well.

Yes, BilldO, you get an "A" in your make-believe journalism class at Rupert Murdoch High.

How could a decrease in violence resulting from a major influx of foreign military possibly signal anything but Good News?

And I have to wonder, since the war in Iraq isn't figured in for budget figures by this administration, does statistical violence even include incidental damage from "freedom on the march"? I mean, is the killing of "insurgents" by our military counted as violence, or just "progress"?

What does anyone expect? What always come out of an A**HOLE, that is correct s**t.    I believe that BillO doesn't even believe his own crap. (MONEY)..and what about those on his staff..doing honor to the families aren't they(MONEY). Or doing Bill if they want to keep their jobs. OOPS. now I am an a**.

I've never understood the money argument.

Supposedly to make money, a TV pundit will embrace a position held by only 30% of the country?

Supposedly to make money, a TV network will go conservative just like every other channel, rather than move into the market where the others aren't?

Don't any of the voters who swept Congress clean have any money?

Sure they have money. But not as much money as Disney etc.

I think the ratings game for "news and opinion" type programs is not based necessarily on accuracy or truthfulness.   There is no doubt that the knuckledragging 30% who still support Bush's war are more likely to watch shows like this.  The demographics don't appear to be so simple for those on the left.  Why, I'm not sure.  It also seems that the corporate types who own these networks are more likely to lean to the right, rather than trying to appeal to the 60+% who oppose the war.  Maybe research shows them that the Troglodytes are more loyal viewers, or maybe they know that the Republican Junta is more likely to favor them in legislation and tax policy if they peddle the right propaganda...I don't know.

it is terrifying to think there are people out there who actually believe billo speaks any truth at all. those who drink his coolaide are as  responsible for u.s. military deaths as the repub politicians they elect.

I think Bill's source for his story was the item about NBC's story that was printed in the Paris Business Review.

Yeah... yeah-- that's the ticket! 

O'Reilly owes Engel an apology.

O'Reilly would be hoarse if he apologized to everyone he owed an apology. 

I will be dancing when he finally keep his mouth shut!!! (LOL)

Imagine there was a baseball game.  The home team starts out losing by giving up lots of runs.  Then they come back in the later innings and win the game.  A sports reporter does a report on the game and obviously mentions the struggles of the home team in the early innings.  What O'Reilly did is the equivalent of showing the report by the sports reporter and only showing the part of the report on the early innings where they struggled, and then criticizing the reporter for not being objective and only focusing on the bad part of the game for the home team.

THANK YOU.

Richard Engel is a good war correspondent and risk his life everyday to give us the news in Iraq.  Kudos for him... O'Reilly needs to shut up and get his facts straight before he speaks.  Maybe Keith Olbermann is getting under his skin...(LOL)

80%!? Since what...the surge?  What is that?  Some clarification would be helpful.  What type of violence has there been?  Has there been flux in the rates?  What Bill did not say is that violence (in only one particular area) could be down compared to what is was in the measurment of only a very short interval! Show the overall trend! I have no idea how they measure this.  The most humorous thing is how O'Reilly says that this is "according to the army."  Oh, well that's a non-partisan source free from bias.  Certainly a reputable peer-reviewed journal, eh Bill?!  Yeah there's no spin at all.  

I think Bill Maher had an excellent analogy for the"success" of the surge.  It's like when a man stops beating his wife because the police are standing on the front porch.
