Bill O'Reilly deceit about Iraq/al Qaeda relationship, exposed by Franken
Edited on Sat Jun-26-04 12:48 PM by Eric J in MN
On Thursday's show, Al Franken exposed how Bill O'Reilly was planning to play a clip of Thomas Kean speaking about the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, but O'Reilly decided not to after realizing the clip wasn't menacing enough.

Instead, O'Reilly gave his audience his own misleading summary of what Kean said.

The Al Franken clip and more information is at MOVELEFT MEDIA:

1. O'Reilly
His audience and Al-Jazeera's audience or made up from the same type of people. The only difference is those that watch Al-Jazeera don’t how much choice. One day O'Reilly audience will learn how to work the remote. I can just imagine their surprise when they find out you can get news from more than one source.

2. The BBC is planning an Arabic version, and so
The BBC is planning an Arabic version, and so Arabs who find al-Jazeera biased will then have a choice.

I'm not personally calling al-Jazeera biased. I don't know much about it.

3. I suppose you know what you're talking about...
... and can point out just ONE incident of Al-J acting like FOX, lying, etc.

Go on, prove your point. Obviously you know a LOT about Al-Jazeera.

4. Umm
Looks like Fox’s audience isn’t the only one’s who need to learn to use the remote.

5. Not exactly much of a comeback.
Have you ever actually watched Al-Jazeera?

Or is your opinion based on what someone else told you?

If so, who's got more in common with Fox's audience?
