10/26   so i asked earlier what major media outlets have actually
        endorsed bush this time around, besides the washington times
        and ny post.  I was accidentally watching oreilly last night
        and he was touching on this topic too, and said that
        the LA Times and NY Times had shockingly endorsed kerry but

9/3     Rather than resorting to personal attacks maybe you should articulate
        why Coulter's and O'reilly political beliefs are wrong.   Attack the
        ideas not the people.
        \_ how about the same for Franken.  His thesis, apart from all the
           partisan wrangling is very simple.  He points out some very specific

Barack Obama with the Rev Jeremiah Wright Fifty-seven percent of Americans do not believe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama shares the controversial views of his former spiritual mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, while about one in four (24 percent) believes he does share Wright's views. And a sizable minority has doubts about Obama because of his pastor's comments, according to a new FOX News poll. Republicans (36 percent) are more likely than independents (20 percent) and Democrats (17 percent) to think Obama shares Wright's controversial and unpatriotic views. Whites (25 percent) are more likely than blacks (15 percent) to think so. Over a third of voters (35 percent) and a quarter of Democrats (26 percent) and independents (27 percent) say Obama's relationship with Rev. Here the racial breakdown is stark: 40 percent of whites and 2 percent of blacks have doubts. "One of the hallmarks of Obama's campaign has been his ability to attract independent voters. This doubt brought on by the Wright controversy has to be troubling for Obama," said Ernest Paicopolos, principal of Opinion Dynamics Corp. Full-page FNC Poll Archive All in all, Americans think your choice in friends says a lot about you: Almost 7 of 10 say they think the people you choose to be your friends reflect on you and your values. Wright was Obama's pastor and spiritual advisor for many years, and performed Obama's wedding ceremony in 1992. Most Americans -- 72 percent -- are familiar with the comments made by Obama's former pastor.

NEW YORK - If someone at Fox News Channel wishes you well, watch your back. The seemingly benign sentiment is a creative signature of Fox's public relations, usually accompanied by a kneecapping. Keith Olbermann was the latest to visit the wishing well. When The New York Times recently asked Fox its opinion of Olbermann, who has repeatedly used Bill O'Reilly as a pinata on his nightly news countdown, spokeswoman Irena Briganti replied: "Because of his personal demons, Keith has imploded everywhere he's worked. From lashing out at co-workers to personally attacking Bill O'Reilly and all things Fox, it's obvious Keith is a train wreck waiting to happen. And like all train wrecks, people might tune in out of morbid curiosity, but they eventually tune out, as evidenced by Keith's recent ratings decline. In the meantime, we hope he enjoys his paranoid view from the bottom of the ratings ladder and wish him well on his inevitable trip to oblivion." Plainly, public relations is a contact sport at Fox News Channel _ with, as Fox PR chief Brian Lewis explains, a sense of mischief sprinkled in. "Has there ever been a more disingenuous phrase in the corporate handbook, or the PR handbook, than we wish him well'?" The list of people to get Fox News Channel's best wishes in print lengthens all the time. The CNN founder called Fox a "propaganda voice" of the Bush administration and compared its popularity to Adolf Hitler's rise in Germany before World War II. Briganti: "Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network and now his mind. A journalist asked the NBC Washington bureau chief whether Fox would get better treatment from the White House with Tony Snow as press secretary and he replied, "no more than they get right now." Fox's Paul Schur shot back: "Tim's sour grapes are obvious here, but at least he's not using his father as a prop to sell books this time around. That said, we wish him well on his latest self-promotion tour." Fox News branched out to Hollywood after the actor criticized O'Reilly. "We are disappointed that George has chosen to hurt Mr O'Reilly's family in order to promote his movie," Schur said. "But it's obvious he needs publicity considering his recent string of failures. After leaving a job at Fox, Shuster said that critical reporting on the Bush administration wouldn't have been welcomed at his former employer. Briganti came back with: "We can understand David's disappointment in being let go by Fox News Channel, but he's too young to be so bitter. On the day the CNN US president was hired, Briganti offered: "We wish CNN well in their annual executive shuffle." She later stuck the knife in further with: "We wish Jon well in his battle for second place with MSNBC." Fox has essentially changed the language in the TV industry with its wishing well, turning a pleasantry into "take a hike."
