Conclamo Ludus,
That's the best you can do - post a link from "oreilly sucks dot com?"
OK, I followed the link and, hidden among a number of the poorly written opinion pieces there does appear to be one legitimate study referenced, the one conducted by FAIR (
http://www.fair.org/extra/0108/sources.html). The next best thing I saw was a commentary where the author concluded that Fox News is biased because "Alan Colmes looks like a martian."
Back to the FAIR article. It states, in part, that "of the 56 partisan guests on Special Report between January and May, 50 were Republicans and six were Democrats -- a greater than 8 to 1 imbalance. In other words, 89 percent of guests with a party affiliation were Republicans. "
Yes - that certainly suggests a significant degree of bias on Brit Hume's show. That's precisely the sort of thing I was hoping someone could show me and I thank you for posting it.
However, I should caution that I don't take seriously comments suggesting that O'Reilly's conservative leanings somehow indicate all the news reporting on Fox, or the organization itself, is biased. I also don't see how the article posted above (from thehill.com) suggests any bias either. From the article itself:

Let me conclude by saying that I recognize and respect the point that Conclamu Ludus is has been conveying. I, however, will continue to favor the Fox Report over Dan Rather during the 7pm timeslot.
