Bill O'Reilly: Is the American Press Corrupt?

The answer is yes!

From Bill O'Reilly's latest column:
Today, we have a problem in America. Entire news operations are devoting themselves not to reporting events honestly, but to promoting a certain ideology or party. The Fox News Channel, where I work, has been accused of this. But a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs found FNC's coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign was tough on both candidates, while most other news networks blatantly favored Barack Obama.

Now, we have a systematic media campaign to demean the Tea Party. At first, organizations like the New York Times ignored the movement. Then they mocked it. Didn't work. As the rallies grew larger, the liberal press got meaner. There was little reporting being done; it was all about bashing.

This isn't bias, it's corruption. News organizations are supposed to be watch dogs, not attack dogs. The Tea Party should be scrutinized like every other political movement. But that's not what's going on here. A large part of the national press is out to destroy these folks. And that's flat out wrong.

Network newscasters.how do you trust any of them to report unbiased news ?I always liked to watch Brian Williams, but after hearing him report the polls for/against the healthcare bill, I lost all respect for him as a news reporter. I know most major network T V stations and city newspapers are biased towards the democratic party, is Fox news the only one you can believe ?
