O'Reilly on Jackson and the N-word

A commenter blamed the liberal bent of the media for not making more hay over Jesse Jackson's hypocrital utterance of the N-word.

But, interestingly, it was Fox's Bill O'Reilly who chose to hold back on the revelation.

"It was not relevant to the subject at hand," O'Reilly told Fox News' Shepard Smith in an interview earlier this week, "one civil rights leader disparaging another over policy. It did not advance the story."

Jackson said of Barack Obama: "Barack . . . he's talking down to black people . . . telling n—s how to behave."

This is why the NAACP re-acted the way they did to the Obama terrorist cartoon. The NY'er was going one worse and implying Obama was a "Sand" N----R

That would be me! Bill also played down Imus and Coulter. That's why they call him fair and balanced. I remember your and other liberal media, going berserk over these two. Mr. Johnson be honest, does your paper have a double standard are not. Just check your letters, you run the same one over and over. If you want to sell papers, tell both sides, I could care less if your are a liberal, However do not try and tell us we are not able to see the difference. I remember when your paper was king in our area. We did not leave you, you left us. Now for something tough, do I play golf in Pinehurst this weekend are at home?

We've had this conversation before. As I said then, the letters we run reflect the letters we receive.
You're more than welcome to write one.
