Black is white. Up is down. And it’s those calling for media reform who are “fascists” and “pose a danger” to this country according to Fox “News” entertainer clown Bill O’Reilly. Yes, that’s what he claimed during the coverage of last weekend’s National Conference for Media Reform<\/a> in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Happily, O’Reilly was able to find two “Fair and Balanced” guests, rightwing pawn Mary Katherine Hamm of Townhall.com<\/a> and Fox’s own “non-Rightwinger” Juan Williams (who has, clearly, enjoyed his fill of delicious Republicanist-flavored Fox “News” kool-aid over the years) to agree with him. Go figure.<\/p>\n

There is more to comment on in this clip, than I possibly can, and still have time to prepare for guest hosting the Peter B. Collins’ radio show again later today. But I hope to speak more about this on air with one of my scheduled guests, Greg Mitchell of Editor & Publisher<\/a>, author of the new book, So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, The Pundits — and the President — Failed on Iraq<\/i> <\/a>\"\"…<\/p>\n

BTW, contrary to O’Reilly’s and guests’ claims that those of us who favor corporate media reform wish to shut out “Conservative” voices, when I guest host I regularly try to include such voices, as on today’s show, for example, when one of my first guests will be Ron Prentice of the California Family Council<\/a> and the “Protect Marriage Coalition.”<\/a> His group is sponsoring the “California Marriage Protection Act” [PDF]<\/a> ballot initiative this November, which would amend the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage here. I look forward to the conversation on the air later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
