Fox lies! Rinse. Repeat.

Goldberg is an oracle, he predicted what somebody will say a day after they said it. Amazing…

“They make a big deal out of this brackets thing,” Goldberg commented, referring to criticism on the right that the President had been filling out NCAA brackets on the job. “Well, that’s just Obama-bashing, pure and simple” O’Reilly replied, arguing that there was an “industry of Obama-bashing” that was fed by stories such as the President’s interest in basketball sometimes. “We have rigid ideology,” Goldberg agreed, that was harming the national political dialogue.

That right on the money.

Bernie, you’re on Fox, you don’t have to fear being wrong. Embrace it! Everyone else does.

It’ll be interesting to hear how other right wing pundits react to this(like in the past), just like it is to hear liberals whine about O’Reilly. Keeps things fresh

Fox lies! Fox lies! CLEARLY Obama has every right to fill out his NCAA brack—wait what? They AGREED he can fill out a NCAA bracket without the entire world going to hell in a handbasket? Well, never you mind then.

Also, Frances, I wouldn’t call O’Reilly an “unlikely source.” I can think of multiple instances where he’s agreed with the President, much to the consternation of his mainly conservative viewership.

You also might want to change that “fee” to “feel.” You guys could really use a copy-editor.

Good on them.

If you want anyone to take it seriously when you criticize Obama, then maybe you should not criticize him when it merits. If every single action is met by outrage, the rational center tends to ignore it (even when they should be paying attention).

Thanks for being rational Bill and Bernie.

You’re relishing in the moment that somebody at Fox actually gave the President a pass for something so meaningless as a 15 minute recorded photo opp? This is their “Fair and Balanced®” moment to rub in the faces of whiny Libs?

Way to go Team!

Bernie Goldberg must of not got the Frank Luntz memo. Always criticize the president for filling out the NCAA brackets.

Jean-Luc says ” Also, Frances, I wouldn’t call O’Reilly an “unlikely source.” I can think of multiple instances where he’s agreed with the President, much to the consternation of his mainly conservative viewership. ”

Yeah , I caught that too. And this …….
” While neither of the two have been huge fans of the president in the past– ”

I remember O’reilly getting hammered from the right for agreeing too much with Obama. Some claimed he was just trying to get an interview. He was one of the very few left or right who thought Obama getting the Nobel Peace prize was good thing.
I would argue that it would be more correct to say , he has not been a huge fan lately.

Holy Cow. A FOX POTUS love fest. Quick what is the date?

Bernie is sick of the phonies like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. and rightfully so.

Many are growing tired of those on both sides of the aisle beginning where they want to end up (party agenda) and working backward to justify it. Prefer any degree of an open mind and reasoning to consider an issue. Leads to trust. O’Reilly actually does this to some degree… it is the reason he is so popular. Surprised more don’t see this and follow suit.

LONG STORY SHORT: Bill O’Reilly and Bernie Goldberg think you teabloggers are assholes who are hurting this country.

I’m going to go ahead and agree with them on this issue.

I’d say that summarizes the situation very well, indeed.

In short, O’Reilly is evil incarnate, except when he defends Obama. Then he’s a good guy.

Actually he wasn’t so much defending Obama as he was attacking you fringebaggers.

You fringebaggers? Like O’Reilly, I never complained about Obama making his picks. You’re stereotyping.

I guess that would include all of Fox News right?

Score 1 for Bill O’Reilly.

The knee jerk criticism of Obama every time he appears in public, plays a round of golf, visits a foreign country, host s White House function or comments on sports is ridiculous.

Those who participate in this shallow game seem very petty.

I wouldn’t call him evil, only a pompous, smug bully who surrounds himself with his bobble-headed acolytes.

So you’re against O’Reilly defending Obama.

It’s not the fact that Obama filled out his bracket picks. He is entitled to relax his mind regularly, like doing a crossword.

What bothers me is the SHOW he put on with ESPN. He could have just given them his bracket picks. But no. He has to show the world how much he knows about college basketball. While “Rome is burning” he’s explaining that he knows way too much about way too many basketball teams. I’m partially retired, love college basketball, yet don’t know as much as he claimed to know. Most ESPN analysts don’t know as much as the President claims. Something is out of balance here.

I smell another BHO/BOR interview coming up.

Who can blame Obama for filling out the brackets? He wants to pick the winners of the four regional competitions, but only has three war fronts to choose from. Better for him to fill out a basketball bracket than add a fourth regional military contest.

O’Reilly starts the segment by identifying “three major liberal voices in the media” and he counts the New York Times among the three. Then they go back and forth between “liberals generally” and those they perceive as President Obama’s backers in the media, while discussing the contortions they feel these outlets will have to go through to support the President’s action against the Libyan government.

Toward the end of the Libya portion of the segment, Goldberg says that the Times isn’t likely to print an editorial questioning the choice and then he switches back to making a generalization about how “liberals” didn’t support military action to protect the Kurds.

Due to all the flipping back and forth and the blurring between liberals and the outlets he feels has a liberal slant, I can’t tell exactly whom Goldberg thinks didn’t support military action on behalf of Iraq’s Kurdish population, but less than five minutes with the Times’ search engine found an editorial titled “At Last, the Kurds Find Friends” which praises the George H.W. Bush administration for assigning the United States military to support and implement a Security Council resolution to protect the Kurdish people.

And, though there may be something else in between, but when the first President Bush decided to expand the no-fly zone to include the southern portions of Iraq, the Times editorialized that it seemed to be an accurate reading of a UN resolution and they explicitly point to the success the no-fly zone had in the north.

IOW: While he makes some nice generalizations, a portion of Goldberg’s foundation could be wrong.

My adult step son make a very derogatory remark about Fox News some weeks back. Curious, I questioned him what shows on Fox News he watched. He stated, “ha, me. I would never allow my TV to even pause on Fox News channel.” He elaborated that he had heard from friends that they were very biased toward liberals and Obowmao.

I believe this is the same for most Fox haters, especially on blog sites such as this.

PS I took the opportunity to explore and surprise, same paragraph, just substitute Rush/Beck or any non-liberal.

Whoops!
That was supposed to say “inaccurate” reading, but in my rephrasing, the “in’ was clipped.

Still, though the Times questioned Bush administration’s legal justification for expanding the no-fly into the south, they did support providing military aid to the Kurdish north.

Obimbo would like to use the UN as his base of legitimacy but, Congress and the Constitution still apply. Even if this idiot doesn’t think they do. This is another good example of the clown believing he’s more than just a president.

what does Jim Rome have anything to do with this!

I highly doubt that Obama knows any more than someone who actually works at ESPN!

I’ve been dropping this quote all day on Glenn Beck dot com. Even O’Reilly is pointing out at this point that Beck is just Obama-bashing and Goldberg added that he harms the American political dialogue.

As worded many times on many blogs, Glenn Beck is to political discourse as the Gulf oil spill is to the ocean: a toxic mess. It’s GREAT to see right-wingers start to see this too.

Beck’s days at Fox propaganda seem to be numbers, but we will never let Murdoch live down the damage he has done to the minds of millions of gullible and ignorant minions in Beck’s army of psychotics.

Cue the reactionary response in 5 – 4 – 3- 2 – 1 and…Gordon THEBLOWHARDWITHASHOW: You’re on.
