Uh oh. They are calling O'Reilly "unabashedly conservative and pro-Republican".

I don't think they asked him.

Air America, a syndicated radio network with a strongly liberal flavour, hit the airwaves in April and former vice-president Al Gore (news - web sites) is backing moves to launch a liberal cable news outlet

These people just don't get it. Liberals have their outlet on every other channel besides Fox News. That is why Air America is failing miserably.

[Old Sarge]

Where was the BARF ALERT!!!!

[EggsAckley]

They just don't get it. Consumers make or break the industry. Apparently they aren't looking at Rather's plummeting ratings.

"hosted by the unabashedly conservative and pro-Republican Bill O'Reilly. "

Say What???

I don't think they asked him.

"So they started building an infrastructure, endowing chairs at colleges, starting think tanks, underwriting conservative college newspapers ... and then came the proliferation of the talk shows in the 1980s," Gitlin said.

So, I guess they found out. All of the secret meetings and plans by the Right to take everything back. Give me a break! Everything is a conspiracy to these people. They can't accept the fact that Americans in general, are sick of the bias in the press and the move to Fox News is because of that.

If the traditionalists dismiss Fox and the pugilistic radio talk show kings as populist purveyors of right-wing propaganda, they are unable to deny their appeal and influence.

What in the hell is a traditionalist?

[nascarnation]

the ratings decline will kill Rather & cBS quicker than anything else.....the advert money will head elsewhere

[RippinGood]

Does anyone have a list of these right-wing sponsored university chairs?

When the Fox News Channel came on air in 1996, CNN founder Ted Turner vowed to crush the brash new rival for the US 24-hour cable news market "like a bug."

Eight years later, the Rupert Murdoch-owned network garners more primetime viewers than CNN and the other major cable news broadcaster, MSNBC, combined.

Like a bug.

Like a huge, radiation-effected, Japanese-horror-film, collosal and ravaging bug.

[Namyak]

They talk about "Red Truth" and "Blue Truth" but not "The Truth", which apparently doesn't exist. See how this works? There is no "Truth", just varying truths that are all equally true. I guess in this world, the CBS memos weren't fake, it was just the "Red Truth" that they were. The "Blue Truth" was that even if the memos were forgeries, what was in them was still accurate... I think my head hurts... I'm going to lay down until the irrationality wears off...

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Ted Turner?

Never heard of him.

[upchuck]

former vice-president Al Gore (news - web sites) is backing moves to launch a liberal cable news outlet.

Uh-huh, this makes sense. The mighty goreon is gonna jump in the pit with CNBC, MSNBC and CNN.

Al baby, you'd be much better off supporting a conservative cable network 'cause then you'd have just one competitor instead of 3 or 4.

goreon the moron!

[planekT]

...Al Gore (news - web sites) is backing moves to launch a liberal cable news outlet...

Yet another one???

This piece didn't need a barf alert, it needed a laugh alert. :-)

[Bigun]

Will these MSM idiots EVER figure out that ALL Fox is doing is what REAL journalists have always done?

REPORT what happened, who it happened to, where and when it happened, and let the public decide what it means. Seems REAL simple to me but, apparently, unfathomable to them.

[planekT]

...With the country so divided along political lines ahead of November's presidential election, partisanship is colouring American culture like never before...

Well, we will just have to wait and see in Nov. just how divided the country is won't we.

And speaking of divided, was't that 9 little democrats we saw scrapping for the nomination this year?

I'd like to see that liberal slanted Cable News network they're talking about. Imagine having all the giants in one place. James Carville, Paul Begala, Susan Estrich, George Stephannopolis, Chris Matthews, Ron Reagan, Bill Maher, and of course, Dan Rather. Al Gore and John Kerry could even team up for a primtime slot. So could Al Sharpton and Charlie Rangel. What about Jesse Jackson? Wow! They would crush Fox News.

Hahaha.

[q_an_a]

what they really mean is we don't know what to make of people who are not talking like us - they must be republicans. O"Reilly is not a Republican or a conservative - he is a lib - libertarian.

"I don't think they asked him."

They also didn't read the posts on FR or they intend to flat out lie!

hosted by the unabashedly conservative and pro-Republican Bill O'Reilly.

Do these people actually bother to watch FOXN before they write about it, or do they just pull a CBS and make it all up? Obviously they didn't talk to O'Reilly.
