Usually it bugs me when he knocks lefty bloggers for foul comments, just because if you have a site with any kind of traffic you’re bound to have a crank infestation to some degree. This time is different. For one thing, as chronicled by Patterico in excruciating detail this weekend, the LAT moderates all comments; everything that appears is apparently read and approved by an editor — or disapproved, in the case of Patterico himself chiming in to call the cretins over there dicks. Beyond that, it’s no secret per the sheer volume of death-wish crap after a prominent conservative dies that some lefty sites have an especially nuanced relationship with commenters like these. O’Reilly goes out of his way to congratulate Arianna on keeping HuffPo clean this time, but she’s only reached that point now because her site’s so notorious for vileness on these occasions that they don’t even bother opening comments anymore.
Ummm here :)
“Not really a Bill O fan but I think he hits it on the head hear.”
Bill is a true friend to Tony Show, in life and in death. He had Tony Snow sub for him on Fridays, and is sticking up for him now, and posting where to send money for Tony’s family on his website.
I don’t always agree with O’Reilly, but he is a loyal friend, and I love him for that.

Contact your local papers ask them to not carry AP articles. Thats how you can let them know how you feel.
Cancel your local paper because of AP might even be better.
Most local papers run almost nothing but wire service stories because they’re so financially crippled they can’t pay to have their own reporting staff. Well deserved financial problems, I might add....
Maybe we should start something like a chain letter. Cancel a paper, tell four friends about it and encourage them to cancel and tell four friends. Eventually we might be able to put these Marxists out of work.
“all the things liberals can’t stand...”
one wonders when liberals will be referred to as murdering communist scu&bags instead of just liberals.
IMHO
I told everybody out here that I know. Don’t think I convinced many as most of my friends here are Leftists anyway.
PS-I would like to point out that Liberals don’t acknowledge the bias. I have said ‘you don’t see the bias because you agree with the bias’. They really don’t see it.
I’m sure they hate Tony all the more because he was once a liberal himself. Funny, that what’s perceived by them to be disloyalty would offend such an inherently disloyal gang....
“eventually , we might be able to put these marxists out of work....”
eventually, these murdering marxist swine might be deported to cuba to kiss uncle fidel’s a&&.
(damnable swine)\
imho
If you want to offend a liberal, tell him that he doesn’t understand because it’s too “nuanced.” They think they own “nuance.”
I don’t really care for BOR, but the thing that comes to mind...I didn’t see any post- mortem roasting of Russert. Nor should there have been.
Tony Snow was excellent at what he did. I’ll miss him.
Cancel your local paper because of AP might even be better.”
That’s always a good way to voice your opinion, yes. Also on Bill O, there was discussion on this, and suggestions that people contact/email AP execs/owners at the top in protest. This gets attention as well, especially in large numbers.
“funny, that what’s perceived by them to be disloyalty would offend such an inherently disloyal gang...”
they go beyond disloyal. they are inherently evil, way beyond any idea of original sin. they are such scum that to refer to them as such is an insult to useful scum. their name should be treachery, putrescence, slime, useless tumors, poisonous vermin. (one wonders if the english language is up to the task of describing the duplicity of american liberal swine.)
IMHO

Well, do you think you could appeal to their sense of decency, at least? As bill o. said tonight to the AP - first of all, this isn’t appropriate as an “obituary”, and second, if you must write harsh critiques like this, can’t you at least wait until the man is buried???
BTW, their “critiques” aren’t even accurate and are way off-base. Tony was neither inaccurate or “out of touch with the facts”. He was exceptional in doing his homework -always.

hmmm - a bizarre parallel of thinking here, with Islam per the Koran - once a muslim “leaves the faith”, he then becomes an Apostate and is now marked for death.
Just the way my weird brain works, sorry. Personally, I think it’s wonderful that Tony, much like Saul on the road to Damascus, saw the Light!!!
I didn’t see any post- mortem roasting of Russert”
of course, you didn’t - he was with MSNBC!! (btw, I think Tim was a really good guy).
but Tony WAS Fox News Channel - AND press secretary for GW.
As time goes by, I get more disgusted and disenchanted with the media. (as if that were possible)
Tim Russert put on a great show. I enjoyed watching him. Tony’s career was stellar. No reason to down either of them in the media, that I can see.
I dont think all those comments are screened....sometimes they are and sometimes they arent.
That said, about 80% of the posters suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome...unless the story is about immigration, whereas 95% are against the illegals.
You think you got it bad, you should see the Philadelphia Inquirer. I cancelled out of that nightmare long, long ago after reading an editorial in which the paper chastised Republican politicians for "pandering to taxpayers".
I am grateful that O’Reilly is looking out for Mr. Snow’s family, but I still do not like O’Reilly at all.
The word "liberal" actually means "generous." I can only refer to them as "leftists."
Bill posted this on his website for us:
If you’d like to contact the head of the Associated Press, here is his contact information. He asked that we be respectful for Tony’s sake, but let him know how we feel about Tony’s hateful obituary:
Tom Curley, President & CEO
Associated Press
450 West 33rd Street
New York, NY 10001
(212) 621-7550
(212) 621-1908 fax
tcurley@ap.org
good for Bill ... i hope he gives them enough bad press to drive them out of business
I keep the paper for my dog. The highlight of her day is going outside and retrieving it from the end of the driveway.
Thank-you Bill O’Reilly and visiting guests for standing up to Tony and the family he leaves behind against the attacks coming from the radical libs over at both the AP and the LA Times.
Glad FR banned AP after the famous charge per article bruhaha.
I told the new preacher at our church.....
“If you want our society to shape up and be a better place, it won’t happen overnight, but the children in the teen classes, encourage them to go into Journalism. Be the best Christians they can, and be journalists. We get Christians in the press, and possibly conservative ones at that, and eventually we will wipe out the liberal muck that’s destroying our country.”
The following week, he spent an hour with the kids in the teen class.

I called the Longmont CO paper that was sending me a free 2-week trial. I was very polite to the lady on the phone, but told her AP is very biased, has contributed to getting many more of our troops killed, and had the polar opposite views and ethics of mine. She said she had a friend serving in Iraq, and would forward my complaint to the paper's management. Whenever any paper tries to give me a free copy in the grocery store, I politely admonish that person as a purveyor of hatred and danger to our troops. it works, if we all do it - politlely but firmly. These scum need to be shamed for what they do to our republic.
Good job! I use to work at a TV station. The public does not realize how seriously management takes a few complaints on the phone. The first thing our manager did when he walked into the station was to head back to where the receptionist sat and ask for the log that recorded all complaints. I used this info to help (I believe) to convert my station from a liberal to a conservative one.
“the word ‘liberal’ actually means ‘generous’.”
it had the connotation of “generous”.
now, after years of “liberal” abuses of the system, it has come to have a completely negative connotation.
imho
IMHO, the old media is safe to say is DYING. They KNOW that the new media is taking over and there is no turning back. Good for BOR for standing up for a friend.
