In a recent poll NPR was voted the most trusted news source in the U.S.(52%),no other outlet came near them. O'Reilly knew that other otlets reported the drone but as usual he lied to maintain some sort of relevance in his diminishing popularity. Fox is loosing ratings and credibility.

The airheaded editors of Irish Central quoting the airheads at the Huffington Post. The fact is MSNBC’S “coverage” has been more in the form of apologetics for the clown prince tyrant in the White House. And the remark about “seen by some commentators” is a coward’s way of making a point without taking moral responsibility, typical of this rag.

Bravo, "Nicomax"! Like Rachel Maddow, I do not approve of the current "drone" policy, even though over all I DO obviously approve of this President. The sad thing is that the right wing's "clown prince" (like most right wingers) undercuts their own GOOD case against the network in question by trying to twist it to be one more "anti-Obama" diatribe which the nation long ago stopped listening to (wonderful guest editorial column in yesterday's New York Times about "Suicidal Conservatives"). If the radical right would shut off FOX Non-news and listen to the real world occasionally, they might even find common ground with some people.

Either O'Reilly is a bare-faced liar, orhe is outright incompetent.

On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow has been all over Obama like a wet suit on the drone issue. I believe she is being paid by NBC. For that matter, how much did the major networks climb all over Condi Rice when she obfuscated the 9/11 attack before the 9/11 Commission?

Poor Bill O'....he should watch some of the other newsworthy stations.An ideal target for a domestic "DRONE ATTACK" would be Bill O' and Hannity.We'd have one less pair 'DIVIDING " our great nation.God Bless The BUSH admin for introducing the drones and for OBAMA expanding the programme......look at how many less American troops have been lost.....just like "TRUMAN" and the World War 2 atom bomb. God Bless America and protect us from the likes of Bill O' and his followers. J.O' R.

what ever NBC says I take with a grain of sand the same holds for CBS and ABC the only time I tune into the stations is a ballgame and then I turn off the noise I consider them to be communistic.

I think it is much ado about nothing. The evil Don John was defeated in November 2012 and now the gay folks can marry as they will at least in some states. The Dogberry press recognized the evil of the GOP and exposed the charlatans. I believe O'Reilly doth protest too much. He cannot be what he proclaims to be. Money is the root of all evil and O'Reilly's god is money. He surely must have some good in there somewhere, but it is not apparent to date. Perhaps when he grows up intellectually, he will recognize the poor choices he has made and repent his sins. The drone debate is a waste of time. No matter what the USA government does, there will always be people who do not agree. If there were no "secrets" the USA would be at a disadvantage and would subject itself to greater harm by its' enemies.

Compare the "middle-of-the-road" beliefs of JFK to the marxist vision of BHO. Come on! "The King has no clothes". The media is complicit in its attacks on organized religion for the purpose of creating tht elusive world religion of Marx and Lenin.

"Hosts on MSNBC including Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews and the roundtable of The Cycle" are not "pugnacious political pundits" I guess. Thanks for the alliteration, but O'Reilly is practically a Trappist compared to that crowd. While the use of drones is perhaps the single policy of BHO I agree with, O'Reilly's point remains valid. The media carries his water and buries everything negative. Bush would have been hosted on his own proverbial petard with a similar policy and Uncle Gaff, were he Dan Quayle, would be the media's joke buzzer. While Matthews et al are probably getting fewer shivers up his leg, maybe the underlying problem is the dawning of the realization thst they, like half of America, have been had.

focus on the memo is a red herring. The question is where has the outrage been for years regarding execution of Amercin citizens in violation of the constitution. The press hasn't changed behavior. FDR's ill health and polio disability was hidden from the people by a collaborative fawning press.
