They're doing it in retaliation for O'Reilly attacking YearlyKos, and comparing DailyKos to Nazis and the KKK.

And it's not a boycott, as such.

That man is a scourge and a total embarrassment to news outlets who truly do try to fairly report the news. There is a special place in hell for him and for others who would lie so blatantly.

Without taking sides here, I'm very interested to know who you think the "news outlets who truly do try to fairly report the news" are.

No commercial ones. You would have to look at independent sources and those are usually better in some aspects but worse in others, mainly unbiasedness.

Even the so called independent news sources are individuals on the ground trying to make a living getting the next big scoop. It is like a hunt where they are all trying to hunt the same thing but no one really knows what that is, yet. So what is their motivation? An attempt to bring the news to the world during the next big sensationalized crisis or the attempt to make a buck?

Your only, and a big one, mistake is that O'Reilly is a news reporter. He is not. He is a news commentator. He comments about the news and his take on the news. If you don't agree with him great, no big deal, don't read or listen to what he has to say. Soros is the only embarrassment in the news now days.

Really? Wow! I thought Alberto Gonzales was making a pretty good ass of himself recently...but it's only Soros? Really?! Fuck...where the hell have I been? I haven't heard his name in a while, except for some conservative folks that grumble about him.

*listens for Soros...hears crickets and faint murmurs*

Oh...forgot...drive-by media conspiracy...media controlled by Soros and moveon.org...etc. etc. Newsmax is our friend...FoxNews...ommm...

According to the deposition, he was pretty much yanking his own chain, if you know what I mean.

Na, he was pressuring Jetblue to own up to its attachment to the left and Soros by attacking thier sponsoring of some tickets to a Kos sponsored convention.

Soros helped finance and launch Jetblue. O'Reilly found a chink in the armor and exploited it. Soros was on JB board, new people came in, now he is off, some say the new guy, the one interviewed by the O'Reillly show, want him back. They sure could use his money. Last month Soros sold a bunch of the JB stock.

Kos is a left leaning web site, no doubt. It is all showmanship IMHO.

There's something to be proud of

O'Reilly is another Rush Limbaugh - so what. . . change the channel - I do.
