The Republicans have gone beyond lying. Bush and Cheney have been great liars, really, the best. Rove has made a career, and even a philosophy of lying about everything. But there is a special cold villainy to the way they have taken it to the next level now.

O'Reilly: First of all, the folks want to know... Have you read my latest book?

Barack Obama will appear on The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News tonight. John McCain cancelled his interview with CNN. That sums up all you need to know about either candidate - and, in a nutshell, explains why Barack Obama will win the White House on Nov. 4.

What a bizarre week for Obama to mount a counter-programming effort. He has the RNC and Hurricanes Gustav and Sarah. It's going pretty well for him -- not that he has all that much to do with it.

Did you see Barack Obama go on The O'Reilly Factor last night—right into the belly of the beast? While we didn't want Obama to a...

Once, Fox thought it had the market cornered on over-the-top populist outrage. No more. Hence the logic to the idea that Olbermann must be destroyed.

How dare this white man with a microphone and the trust of the public think that in 2008, he can still put the words "lynch and party" together in the same sentence with reference to a black woman?

No need to listen to or watch O'Reilly today. One need go no further than this clip from last month to discover what Bill really thinks of Tim Russert and his credibility.

While consumers of most news outlets scored poorly on the test, a separate question revealed that a vast majority believe they follow national news closely.

O'Reilly claims that Barack Obama is boosting the sales of Obama Nation, the number one book on this week's New York Timesbestseller list, because he won't come on The Factor.

An "O'Reilly Factor" producer cornered PBS's Bill Moyers at a conference on media reform this weekend, leading Moyers to demand an unedited interview about Iraq. Angry journalists piled on.

It seemed that most of the clearly biased shows on cable news had been publicly outed as such, but viewers learned there was yet another conservative Republican show:Election Center with Campbell Brown.

Well, I'm guessing the Clinton campaign feels pretty swell getting the Bill O'Reilly fair and balanced treatment during her interview last week.
Wo...

I find it laughable to be lectured on hate speech by O'Reilly, who spews hate as readily as he breathes. It's his lifeblood.

In one of the most incendiary columns ever written, "Race And The Presidential Election," Bill O'Reilly sets the race-bait bar to record-breaking...d...

As someone recently moved to the US. I have been keeping a close eye on the campaign events. I guess untill recently I would fall under the category of swing voters. But after watching Glenn Beck's show on the CNN headline for several days, I am beginning to like to Obama and see a great leader and visionary in him. Glenn Beck's harsh criticism on Obama in all his shows convinced me the Obama has to be an abled leader and someone who wants to really help the country.
And BTW Jon Stewart, you simply rock.
AMAZING!!!!
I love this. It is unbelievable how differently Michelle Obama has been treated in the media, particularly by Fox News as they sweep all of this other stuff under the rug for being deemed "sexist." Whatever excuse or reason they can find to elect a republican, no matter what the consequences! As long as they stay in power!

This is why the Daily Show is the primary news outlet for so many people - they expose the absurdity and hypocrasy of our culture in a way that NO OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATION does! I applaud The Daily Show for this exemplary piece and it underscores why the Daily Show and Colbert Report are worthy of Peabody and Emmy awards year after year.
Don't ever stop Jon - We need you in the media to keep the other "news agencies" honest.
P.S. Great job, Jon, lecturing the other news organizations at the DNC about their lazy reporting over the past few years.
The only other place I've seen the show calling out BS like "The Daily Show" is "Meet The Press". It's bizarre that the 'fake news show' does so much more than the purported "experts".
Mr. Stewart.....please continue doing what you (and your writers) do best!!!
I sent the vid to a woman I know who works on the Factor ( She's my sleeper agent ) & they are aware of this. One producer was overheard saying "I hope the CNN & MS don't pick this up" my agent laughed to herself, we talk about 3 times a week & she tells me FOX is very worried about an Obama victory, they feet it will start a real backlash against what they stand for. Well the commentators that is. You see there is a real divide growing @ FOX that has been kept in house for months now. The reporters are not happy with the commentators passing themselves off as reporters. The persons at the center of the storm are Sean H & Bill O , not much Bill due to the fact he started out as a reporter but Sean H & others of his thinking are getting major backlash, she goes on about how Sean has no college degree & acts like a real news man. But anyway the vid is great & people please Turn of your TV , all this has happened before remember the movie Network .. Wake UP all the press is the same CNN / FOX / MSNBC even the Huffington Post all the same just putting out the point of view they think YOU want to hear I trust no of them ....
Are you suggesting that BO has a college degree?? From somewhere like Liberty or BYU I suppose?
Harvard Law, president of Harvard Law review--NOT on affirmative action. He's been running for 18 months and you think he's got a GED or something?
