Bill O'Reilly: Please Add Me To Your Media Blacklist
Bill O'Reilly: Please add me to your media blacklist

Dear Bill:
Recently, you called out MSNBC, The New York Daily News and the St. Petersburg Times, saying those news outlets "regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far-left Web sites." You posted those names on your Web site, Billoreilly.com, without citing the defamatory statements but with a promise to include more names in the coming months.

Now, I have a confession to make. Not only do I read far-left Web sites, I am also a regular contributor to some. I have posted on flaming-liberal sites such as Bartcop.com and Democraticunderground.com. I have denigrated you on those sites and in print. Given that, I have a request: Please add me to your media blacklist.

In fact, if these outlets were defaming you, I assume you'd sue for libel. But of course you won't be doing that -- we all know what happens when you attempt frivolous lawsuits against your detractors, don't we, Bill?

You are a dried-up tabloid-journalism hack without the decency and conviction to come out and admit that you're a reactionary shill. In that sense, you're far worse than Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh or, to pick a name from the other side so that you can wrap your narrow mind around the idea, Michael Moore. At least they have the cojones to admit what they are. You, on the other hand, paint yourself as a voice for the working class while championing policies that hurt it -- excepting your anti-illegal-immigration stance. But if you thought you could get away with it without alienating your audience, I suspect you'd be for that, too. You are sleaze, Bill O'Reilly, and hell is too good for you.
Will the previous paragraph get me on your list? Or do you need more? Please respond and let me know. Next time, I'll throw in some falafel and sexual harassment jokes.

Thanks,
Dan Sweeney

P.S.: I noticed that two of the three media outlets you mentioned are direct competitors of some of those owned by your boss, Rupert Murdoch -- not that I think this is just another of your shameless hatchet jobs at the request of your corporate overlord. I'm just sayin'.

3. It's an editorial, not an LTTE
It's just written in the style of a letter, since it's addressed to O'Reilly.
