Fairness Doctrine Opponents at Fox News Demand Counter Point of View on Non-Conservative media, like Al Jazeera.

Amazing hypocrisy continues to emanate from Fox News, especially when it comes to extreme right wing propaganda. They regularly stack the deck with just conservative pundits, denounce the Fairness Doctrine and vilify everything liberal. Alan Colmes, in the clip below, fires up Bill O’Reilly with the simple claim he wasn’t anti-American and that Al Jazeera presented news unavailable in the Middle East.   

It so astonishing to see screams of fairness and balance from the most outwardly biased propagandist right wing media outlet ever created. Crooks and Liars:

O'REILLY: Sometimes your positions are far left.
COLMES: All right, fine. But am I anti-American?
O'REILLY: I don't think you're anti-American. But certainly the far left is taking anti-American positions.
COLMES: But look, but let's stop this name-calling. Let's stop demonizing anybody you don't agree with and call them anti-American.
O'REILLY: I just ran a "Talking Points Memo" that backed up, all right, with four specific things that this is an anti-Semitic, anti-American network and I could do 40 of them.
COLMES: But you said those were people on the network as guests.
(CROSSTALK)
O'REILLY: There is no counter. Why don't you grasp this? I'm getting a little mad at you. Grasp this! There is no counter on it, you got it? There is no counter on it!
COLMES: Yes, I hear what you say. It's free speech.
O'REILLY: So it's this, yes, it's free speech. Shouldn't be praised by a pinhead like Donaldson.
