A new study came out by Project for Excellence in Journalism---which showed that FOX News covered the Iraq war far less than either CNN or MSNBC during the first quarter of '07. Wow, I was shocked, I tell you, but Bill O'Reilly had a very reasonable excuse: The author hates FOX News. Damn lefty...That's all his audience needs to know. Ahhh..the old attack the messenger trick. What a cunning fellow Mr Factor can be at times. It doesn't matter about the facts presented in the study after all--why bother refuting those pesky details? O'Reilly thinks that covering bombings is just a drag anyway. Why would he feel the need to show the horrors of war? It's just war...And FOX has better rating so-ha! I say, ha!
