Cindy Sheehan: Get Off It, Bill O'Reilly
A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Cindy Sheehan

A recent Harris Poll indicated that only 22% of Americans support George's war of terror. I suspect the less than one-fourth of our country who are still in favor of the hopeless mess that BushCo has tragically involved the USA gets all of their "news" from Fox News.

I have mostly kept silent about Fox and their role as co-conspirators with the Bush Regime because I believe the organization is too ridiculous to even waste ink or breath on. MSNBC, CNN, and the networks are not much better, but they are not as openly pro-war or pro-BushCo as Fox. There are also fabulous Internet sites (Media Matters and Sweet Jesus I Hate Bill O'Reilly) that do a great job of pointing out the errors and outright lies of Fox News. Robert Greenwald's Outfoxed and Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them are great commentaries on the "fair and balanced" network. O'Reilly is regularly Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" for his hateful and idiotic rhetoric.

I don't get a chance to watch TV very often, and when I do get a chance, I can give an almost 100% guarantee that I am not watching Fox News. When I broke my vow to never do Fox and went on Sean Hannity's show, he was amazed to find out that I never watch his program and wasn't nearly as pre-occupied with him as he seems to be with me. I hear things through the grapevine, but as my mom always said, I "consider the source."

However, saying all that, I have had enough of Bill O'Reilly's obsession with me and his unfair and unbalanced program. I almost wrote a piece called, "Oh Really, O'Reilly, " when the Bush Mob mouthpiece was on the David Letterman show and when Letterman stuck up for me, Bill said: "No one goes on my show and calls terrorists "freedom fighters." He is one slimy operator because I am sure what he said was true... no one goes on his show and calls terrorists "freedom fighters," but the statement is so misleading because it leads one to believe that I have ever been on his show and have called terrorists "freedom fighters."

4. Cindy is persistent...
...which is admirable. I don't always agree with everything she says, but I do admire that she keeps beating the drum. And anybody who goes after O'Reilly, I'm all for...

;)
