ill O'Reilly
The O'Reilly Factor FOX News Channel 1211 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10036 Dear Mr. O'Reilly: In May of this year, I asked that you allow me to come on The O'Reilly Factor to discuss your attacks on philanthropist George Soros. Your producer denied my request, saying you were no longer discussing the topic. Yet in subsequent weeks, you continued to discuss Mr. Soros on your radio and television programs. Despite my offer to discuss Soros, you still did not invite me on -- even complaining during your June 1 Radio Factor, "I mean, we really can't get anybody in here [to defend Soros] that's not a raving, raving Far-Left person, and why we would want to do that, I don't know." In recent months, you have repeatedly attacked me and my organization, Media Matters for America: On the June 28 O'Reilly Factor, you referred to Media Matters as a "Far Left website"; On the August 5 Radio Factor, you likened Media Matters to Mao Zedong; On the August 5 O'Reilly Factor, you claimed your critics are "hiding"; in response, I reiterated my willingness to appear on your television show; During your August 7 debate with New York Times columnist Paul Krugman on CNBC, you compared Media Matters to the Ku Klux Klan and Fidel Castro; On August 13, Media Matters noted your recent attacks on us, and wondered how long it would be before you compared us to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. It took less than a month: On the September 14 Radio Factor, you referred to comments I made as "Joseph Goebbels Nazi stuff"; On the December 9 Radio Factor, you called Media Matters "the most vile, despicable human beings in the country"; On the December 14 Radio Factor, you called Media Matters "sneaky"; accused us of "tak[ing] things out of context"; called us a "Far Left, deceitful, disgusting website"; and called us "character assassins" and "despicable weasels." As you can see, Mr. O'Reilly, you have repeatedly and personally attacked me, Media Matters for America, and my fine staff, calling us "vile," "despicable," and "weasels," and comparing us to the Ku Klux Klan, Castro, Mao, and the Nazis. And you have refused my repeated requests to appear on your broadcast. You once offered your viewers your definition of the word "coward." On the January 5, 2004, O'Reilly Factor, you declared: "If you attack someone publicly, as these men did to me, you have an obligation to face the person you are smearing. If you don't, you are a coward." Well, Mr. O'Reilly, you have attacked me publicly on numerous occasions, and you refuse to face me. You, sir, are a coward -- by your own definition of the term. You are "hiding under your desk" (to paraphrase your August 26, 2003, claim about a "coward" who declined to appear on your show) rather than allowing me on your program to discuss your insults. You are "gutless," to borrow the phrase you used on January 10, 2003, and February 8, 2001, to describe people who would not appear on your program. I attach additional examples of your pejorative descriptions of those who decline invitations to appear on your broadcast. Your frequent complaint that your words are taken out of context appears to have spurred your recent assault on my organization. While reasonable people can disagree about conclusions we, or you, have drawn about your comments, you are simply wrong to say that we took you out of context. I remain willing and eager to appear on either your television or radio program to discuss your contention that my organization has taken your comments out of context. Should you continue to refuse this offer, it is only reasonable that the American people will conclude that you are not only -- as you would put it -- a "coward," but a hypocrite as well.

wrote: Show me where the bias results in factal inaccuracy. Give me one example of Brock lying. The right wing press as embodied in Fox News lies a lot. Show me where Air America or Mediamatters lies. Do you know Brock's history? He used to be one of them. He used to be a lying right-wing hit man: ''Timeline of Brock's Career 1986: Brock comes to Washington to write for Insight, a conservative weekly magazine published by the Washington Times' parent company October 1991: Professor Anita Hill testifies at the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas. Brock later recalls watching the hearings from his office at the Washington Times, where he was an editor; and that at first, he "believed that what (Hill) was saying was quite possibly true." About a month later, Brock gets an assignment to write about Hill for the American Spectator, a conservative journal based in Arlington, Va. March 1992: The Spectator publishes Brock's sharply critical piece on Hill, whom he describes as "a bit nutty and a bit slutty." April 1993: Brock's book, The Real Anita Hill: The Untold Story, is published. In an interview on C-SPAN, Brock says the book's key message is that, "when you look at the evidence, the battle of credibility is settled hands down in favor of Clarence Thomas. Anita Hill's testimony is really shot through with false, incorrect and misleading statements." December 1993: In the January 1994 Spectator, Brock, now on the magazine's staff, writes about what would come to be called "Troopergate": allegations by Arkansas state troops that they helped procure women for Clinton when he was Arkansas governor. October 1996: Brock's much-awaited biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton, The Seduction of Hillary Rodham, is an unexpectedly sympathetic portrait that startles and angers many of his conservative supporters. July 1997: In an Esquire magazine article titled "I Was A Right- Wing Hit Man," Brock writes that because of the way conservatives dispossessed him over the Hillary Clinton biography, "I want out. David Brock the Road Warrior of the Right is dead." November 1997: Brock is fired from the staff of the Spectator. April 1998: In an open letter to President Clinton published in Esquire, Brock apologizes for his "Troopergate" expose, which he says was written not "in the interest of good government or serious journalism," but as part of an anti-Clinton crusade. June 2001: The August issue of Talk magazine publishes an adaptation from Brock's forthcoming book, Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative. In it, Brock says he "lost his soul" by knowingly writing things about Hill that he knew were not true, and became "a witting cog in the Republican sleaze machine." (weekdays) '' (weekends) Based on that copy/paste operation, it *is* apparently safe to presume that your response to my former question (...Would you agree that those who rely upon and place faith in blatantly biased websites like mediamatters.org are not equally (to borrow your phrase) "mentally deficient"?...) is a resounding YES! -=jd=- |

So instead of refuting my allegation that these people lie, you change
the subject. Our country is doomed if people like me, who only insist on factual accuracyin the news media, are branded as ''naive...extremists''.

Apologies if I struck a nerve. I've noticed extremists like yourself tend to have very tender toes that are often too easily stepped on. It's just a bit amusing to see you present yourself and your preferred information sources as (purportedly) the bastion of truth and unbiased information. It's cute in a "Puh- leeeze!!" kind of way... Like I said before, if you want to wear that yoke of hypocracy like a badge of honor, that's *your* bag. Just don't cop an attitude if we get a chuckle out of your naivety - and at your expense. -=jd=- |

You can't argue with an ideologue. It's like trying to deprogram a
cultist. On Mon, 20 Dec 2004 12:51:02 -0600, "MnMikew" wrote: "David" wrote in message .. . O'Reilly LIES!! Limbaugh LIES!! Sean Hannity LIES!! It's not spin. It's not bias. It's lying. Rather LIES! Moore LIES! Al Franken LIES! It's not spin. It's not bias. It's lying. |
