		<description>Pat:

You&#039;re a twit. Saw your posts on guests on O&#039;Reilly and their politcal persuasion. You listed several libertarians as republicans, but perhaps you don&#039;t know the difference. Name one single conservative that &quot;Countdown&quot; otherwise known as the Democratic Left Channel has had on ANY night. Oh, and do that for Rachel, as well. Oh, couldn&#039;t think of one? MSNBC gets its hinder  kicked because it isn&#039;t even close to being balanced. All your liberal bastions of blabbering left talking points (like the NY Times) are going belly up. PRAISE THE LORD. The last one out, please turn off the lights.</description>

		<description>having been in the broadcast biz, what olberman is refering to when he, as a writer said, &quot;frames&quot; is a key demographic that o&#039;reilly touts as being the &quot;key demographic.  that is, viewers 25-54 years of age.  in o&#039;reilly&#039;s discription, that&#039;s the most important demographic.  
all that is needed to know about the ratings performance the past two weeks is o&#039;reilly is crying foul about the ratings.  calling it some sort of conspiracy that he is losing that demographic to olberman.
THAT is how important that demographic is.  and if little billy is crying, he must be losing.  
overall, he still has more viewers.  but, at least in my comcast coverage area which includes pittsburgh, you have to subscribe to digital cable to get msnbc and foxnews in available without paying more to get digital.  you only need expanded basic cable.  in short, you pay extra if you want msnbc.  that&#039;s a ratings killer and not an option for many.</description>

		<description>PapaBeargotPunked...typical of a lib.  Take words and twist them to the extreme.  Basic services and protection should be the basis of government.  Becoming a crutch and a lean for those that are too lazy to work to make a living is not the responsibility of govt.  Our tax rate in this country should be no more than 15% if we cut the pork and stupid govt programs (i.e. ACORN which sucks up 25 million taxpayer dollars).</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t watch much TV anymore, but isn&#039;t Bill O&#039;Reilly that super judgemental and supposedly deeply religious family guy that had to shell out millions for sexual harassment to his producer Adrea Mackris a couple of years ago?

		<description>Like all of the data and polling numbers that we get on MSNBC these figures have been manipulated by Obermann to try to make him look good.</description>

		<description>Blue Voter are you an idiot?  &quot;Unless you are one of Bush’s rich buddies, I bet you’ll be banking on social security when you get old!!!!&quot; 

Are you serious???  My &quot;social security&quot; is called 401k and ROTH-IRA.  Might want to check into getting one.  Obama&#039;s not going to give you either of those.</description>

		<description>Yeah, government guarantee of programs really works!  
We don&#039;t even know if social security can be maintained without breaking our backs in the next couple decades.  oh but we&#039;ll get to that, right?   The welfare system is still a mess.  Yeah, lets add health too and take more of your and my paycheck...genius!  And while we are at it, raise the minimum wage to 9.50 so that managers have to ask for a raise to keep pace with the bottom, then the manager&#039;s manager asks for a raise and so on.  Another genius ploy.  It&#039;s obvious that in order to run for president as a dem, economics is not required in college.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t say Olberman was &quot;fair and balanced&quot; and neither does he or his network. The truth apparently has a liberal bias because you&#039;ll find the truth on Olbermans show but NOT on Fox. I&#039;m sure last night you were glued to Fox watching there report on the Stevens (R-AK) Felony indictment. Then again since they didn&#039;t cover it maybe not.</description>

		<description>have to respond to &quot;superfavre4&quot;...... so &quot;superfavre4&quot;, was McCain a socialist when he voted against the Bush tax cuts for the RICH$ when he took office?  Was Bush and McCain socialists for taking tax money from hard working amercians to buy stock in banks with the 1 trillion bailout and give it to CEOs for their golden parachutes?  This is the same republican garbage that&#039;ll put Obama in the white house.  Saying Obama is a socialist for reversing Bush tax cuts for the RICH$ is why you are going to lose this election!

Is guaranteed social security socialism?  Unless you are one of Bush&#039;s rich buddies, I bet you&#039;ll be banking on social security when you get old!!!!

		<description>Pat,
Too bad you&#039;re so busy tallying O&#039;Reilly&#039;s numbers that you don&#039;t have time to tell us how evenly Olberman has &quot;balanced&quot; his guest list. I try and watch him but can&#039;t stand the condescending, left to the edge of the cliff barrage.

As far as Rachel Maddow goes I guess MSNBC is going to become Air America II.</description>

		<description>Now, as for where Americans stand on the issues, this is from a NYT\CBS Poll:

SHOULD GOVERNMENT GUARANTEE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL?
Yes 64%
No 27% 

Now from a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll:

Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war in Iraq?
Favor: 32%
Oppose: 66%
Unsure: 1%

Now is there anything else you&#039;re incapable of googling yourself?</description>

		<description>O&#039;Reilly is fair and balanced? OMG, that doesn&#039;t really deserve a response but here&#039;s a blog entry that even a grade schooler could understand:

On the Thursday 10-16-08 O&#039;Reilly Factor, Bill O&#039;Reilly read
an e-mail from Bob in California, here is the transcript of that e-mail:

&quot;Mr. O&#039;Reilly, I perceive you as an honest man but I disagree when you say you are fair and balanced. Putting Rove and Morris on is not both sides.&quot;

Bob Wilson, San Jose CA

O&#039;Reilly had a very interesting and untrue answer for Bob, look at what
he said, here is the transcript:

O&#039;REILLY: Did Geraldine Ferraro not appear on your tv set, Bob? C&#039;mon. On Tuesday I had three Democrats and just one Republican in the first two blocks. I make sure, personally make sure, that throughout the week we have equal representation of conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican. OK, I mean, if you have been watching the show I&#039;ve been doing this now into our thirteenth year, and we have voices, and they&#039;re equal.

That is the biggest load of lying dishonest right-wing garbage I have ever heard O&#039;Reilly say in my life. I document his guest list, every night, and every week, then I write about it in my blog, and in the O&#039;Reilly Sucks Forums.

To show you O&#039;Reilly is lying I will list every guest he had this week, from Monday to Friday, look at it, and decide if his Republican to Democrat guest list is balanced.

Monday - 10-13-08:

Juan Williams(D), Mary K. Ham, Stuart Varney, Dagen McDowell, John Kasich, and Bernie Goldberg.
(5 Republicans, 1 Democrat)

Tuesday - 10-14-08:

Andrea Tantaros, Julie Menin(D), Bob Beckel(D), Lanny Davis(D), Amanda Carpenter, Megyn Kelly, Lis Wiehl, Steve Doocy, and Gretchen Carlson.
(6 Republicans, 3 Democrats)

Wednesday - 10-15-08:

Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Geraldine Ferraro(D), Liz Clayman, Dagen McDowell, Dennis Miller, and Brit Hume.
(6 Republicans, 1 Democrat)

Thursday - 10-16-08:

Laura Ingraham, Frank Luntz, Megyn Kelly, John Stossel, and Dick Morris.
(5 Republicans, 0 Democrats)

Bill O&#039;Reilly claims 29 Republicans to 8 Democrats this week is balanced, and he says 22 Republicans to 5 Democrats, and 1 Independent last week, is a balanced show, in my world 29 to 8 is not balanced, and 22 to 6 is not balanced, it&#039;s not even close. If it was just 15 to 13, or 16 to 12, he might be able to claim somewhat of a balance, but 29 to 8 and 22 to 6 is totally out of balance.

Let alone claim he has an equal number of Republican and Democrat guests on every week, an equal number would be 14 to 14, or maybe 15 to 13. When it&#039;s 29 to 8 one week and 22 to 6 the week before, it&#039;s unbalanced, and it&#039;s unbalanced by a lot.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>O&#8217;Reilly is fair and balanced? OMG, that doesn&#8217;t really deserve a response but here&#8217;s a blog entry that even a grade schooler could understand:</p>
<p>On the Thursday 10-16-08 O&#8217;Reilly Factor, Bill O&#8217;Reilly read<br />
an e-mail from Bob in California, here is the transcript of that e-mail:</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. O&#8217;Reilly, I perceive you as an honest man but I disagree when you say you are fair and balanced. Putting Rove and Morris on is not both sides.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bob Wilson, San Jose CA</p>
<p>O&#8217;Reilly had a very interesting and untrue answer for Bob, look at what<br />
he said, here is the transcript:</p>
<p>O&#8217;REILLY: Did Geraldine Ferraro not appear on your tv set, Bob? C&#8217;mon. On Tuesday I had three Democrats and just one Republican in the first two blocks. I make sure, personally make sure, that throughout the week we have equal representation of conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican. OK, I mean, if you have been watching the show I&#8217;ve been doing this now into our thirteenth year, and we have voices, and they&#8217;re equal.</p>
<p>That is the biggest load of lying dishonest right-wing garbage I have ever heard O&#8217;Reilly say in my life. I document his guest list, every night, and every week, then I write about it in my blog, and in the O&#8217;Reilly Sucks Forums.</p>
<p>To show you O&#8217;Reilly is lying I will list every guest he had this week, from Monday to Friday, look at it, and decide if his Republican to Democrat guest list is balanced.</p>
<p>Monday &#8211; 10-13-08:</p>
<p>Juan Williams(D), Mary K. Ham, Stuart Varney, Dagen McDowell, John Kasich, and Bernie Goldberg.<br />

(6 Republicans, 3 Democrats)</p>

		<description>Hey Pat, How are republicans on the wrong side of all issues, you are drinking too much of the old liberal kool aid.  If you made that statement to a jackass, it would kick your head off.</description>

		<description>I refute the claim that MSNBC is mindlessly pro-Obama as some posters have suggested especially if they are suggesting some equivalency with Fox News&#039;s treatment of the GOP and Bush in particular. Fox News LITERALLY gets there talking points from the Bush White House. MSNBC is simply telling the truth without bothering to pull the &quot;both sides of the story&quot; garbage that has this countries news media in such an ethical bind. I would for example call your attention to Olbermanns critical Special Comment regarding Obama when he voted for the last FISA bill which eviscerated the 4th amendment. Like it or not Obama has not put himself in a position where he can be criticized in the way that McCain and Bush have. Republicans are on the wrong side of all of the issues and the majority of Americans are on the right side along with Obama, Olberman and Maddow.</description>

		<description>All of these Anti-FNC people need to relax. If you are so worried about FNC needing to be taken off the air, you&#039;re wasting your time. Worry about people deciding for themselves who they want to support, not any one person&#039;s agenda.

It&#039;s pretty clear, being an educated individual, who get&#039;s it and who is scared.</description>

		<description>Pink Bear is the smartest poster on this entire website. I so agree with everything he says. If Pink Bear was running to be President I would vote for him.

That said I agree with Pink Bear that Fox noise should be banned and taken down from treason, I however believe President Obama should go one step further and that O&#039;Reilly and Hannity should also be jailed for treason.</description>

		<description>C&#039;mon, OF COURSE Pink Bear is a spam bot.  It just isn&#039;t smart enough to be automated, so it goes the manual route.</description>
