1. Alert Faux News Watch on now... will they dare broach O'Reilly?
Surely you jest. Faux News will be the very *last* station to let the Kerry mention of Mary Cheney die. And oh yes, that's what they're still talking about.

2. well it has talked about negative Faux News stories before
though they normally relegate them towards the end of the program, even if they are the big media stories of the week. It was the show that talked about 'Outfoxed' when I doubt their other shows did.

Well, you're right, right at the end "we don't know enough to form an opinion on the subject." Funny, I don't remember that ever stopping them before.

4. well Eric Burns mentioned the elephant in the room
but said "we don't have enough information yet" to discuss it and "we'll cover the coverage" in the future.. blah blah blah. Lame, but what can you expect from Faux.

8. They were so full of shit
They were bad enough last week when they gave a whole segment to the Halperin memo but gave just seconds to Carl Cameron's shenanigans. This week was worse. They don't NEED facts--they are talking about the coverage. They covered the coverage about WMD, too, and they never knew the facts until it was too late.

What utter bullshit they are.

5. They just announced that they will NOT talk about O'Lielly.

Why not? Because they don't know enough about the case to have an opinion the host said with a serious face.

That's never stopped them before! lol, lol, lol.

7. I suppose no one at Faux News would actually ask O'Lielly
about it. With all those Faux "journalists" there, maybe one would ask him about it...
