It has nothing to do with audience targetting. The other networks aren’t even reporting on it. Targetting an audience means putting certain things on the homepage but still reporting on the rest. CNN/MSNBC/etc aren’t even reporting this. At all. You can’t find it anywhere on their website.

You sure you looked?

it says it was posted 3 hours ago. I still don’t see how it proves a news organization is biased or unbiased. Just because Fox headlined it and cnn didn’t doesn’t mean anything. Besides, they change headlines every few hours anyway.

Yes I looked. When I made the OP none of the others had reported on it and at Fox it had been the headline for well over an hour. CNN didn’t have an article on it until about an hour after a producer there blogged about it and MSNBC didn’t have it until about an hour ago. In typical MSNBC reporting fashion, they just copy/pasted the AP release on it <_>

I thought it was pretty unprofessional what they did to Bill Oreilly. I hate whoopi and that one red head anyway. At least what’s her face defended bill a little, and knows how to be a reporter/host.

The thing with Bill is that you can’t BS your way out of an argument with him. If you go into the discussion with facts and a no-BS attitude you can have the complete opposite opinion but still have a meaningful conversation with him. When you go into the argument with just your opinion and a bag of obsenities to yell then yeah, he’s going to wipe the floor with you and you’re going to ragequit. An argument against any competant person would end the exact same way.

 

And I agree, Whoopie and Joy have no business being on a show like that. After being on the wrong side of public outcry over discussions on that show it’s really not surprising that she would be professional about it. She’s learned what happens when you blindly defend the actions of irrational people and definately won’t make *that* mistake again. lol
