The problem is that he can make stuff up much faster than he can be fact checked.

Any news source; look for maximum facts and minimum interpretation of the situation. Then corroborate the facts.

According to the deposition, he was pretty much yanking his own chain, if you know what I mean.

There's something to be proud of

O'Reilly is another Rush Limbaugh - so what. . . change the channel - I do.

Na, he was pressuring Jetblue to own up to its attachment to the left and Soros by attacking thier sponsoring of some tickets to a Kos sponsored convention.

Soros helped finance and launch Jetblue. O'Reilly found a chink in the armor and exploited it. Soros was on JB board, new people came in, now he is off, some say the new guy, the one interviewed by the O'Reillly show, want him back. They sure could use his money. Last month Soros sold a bunch of the JB stock.

Kos is a left leaning web site, no doubt. It is all showmanship IMHO.

Sticks and stones are all a website or a talk show can do. What else could it have been about?

A boycott is not limiting free speech. It is free speech.

HM & Clod I'm just thinkin here, not really takin a side, I haven't thought that much about it, but...

Depends on what their intent was -If they are trying to remove financial support for the station, thereby removing it, then they are limiting Fox's free speech.
On the other hand if they are just trying to make a statement - what exactly is that statement and why choose this means to make it. If they are unhappy with a particular host, ie: O'Reilly, why not just target that particular host.

Perhaps they will only be happy when all that is on the radio or TV is what THEY want it to be, or their point of view - That is NOT free speech.
Again this is to me like the guy who bitched about the music on a particular radio station - JUST CHANGE THE STATION.

How? Was O'Reilly attempting to limit Yearly Kos' free speech when he tried to get JetBlue to stop sponsoring them?
