He's give half the facts, usually leaving out the really important facts in order to make the point he wants to make. Truth to tell, I got more interesting things to watch and do than watch a right-wing pundit masquerade as a journalist on a slanted infotainment channel that pretents that it's giving factual news. Understanding is a three-edged sword.

It does seem like we are all getting more civil though which is good, I think? I won't even get into the politics as I'm alone in the office all day and want to keep the LP happy all day!

I think everyone should not keep hammering me without seeing the program and keep me out of it. I am not the story, but just trying to politely bring news to the forefront in an even-balanced way.

That is the reason why people are perfectly capable of understanding and having a valid opinion on the case in Vermont even when they got their information from other sources. In fact, those that go to original sources like the judge's actual opinion or the text of the state law are apt to be the most informed on the topic. -Jeff

To Jeff--------- Do you know there's a rally there Sat? Governor should show. Stuff only Bill has reported unless you can give facts to the contraire. Just keep it civil okay? I have a feeling that you would disagree with anything that Bill or I would say----just my opinion

Want to protect your children? Put the bad guys away for a quarter century. Tell me one person in America who is doing more to protect kids than O'Reilly from the rapist and killers who want to harm our children. Also, this judge in Vermont would not even be a story if it were not for O'Reilly. You think some idiot activist judge in the future is going to think twice now before giving a rapist a free pass back into society? Yes he will.
