Correct, OReily's claim of a "no spin" zone is b.s. I know it, you know it, I think everyone knows it. I just see the phrase as an advertising gimmick. He is not the only one who uses advertising gimmicks. But, I think the major network news shows and some newspapers like the NY Times do this with much greater pretense.[/QUOTE]

Well I'm glad that you know it. But the majority of folks who watch his show take his word to be absolute truth. They then regurgitate the same rhetoric that he does and pass it off as their own thoughts and beliefs. And that is the danger that FOX news is to America. It takes advantage of the uneducated, and promotes fear in an attempt to sway people towards the right.
