Awright, dare I ask...WHO is Otis Page?
Whoever you are, you're doing a great job over at the BOR Feedback Zone (sticking it to Bill regarding the SBVT).

Once again, I find myself wanting to play Devil’s Advocate for Bill O’Reilly.

Bill O’Reilly is not a news anchor or news reporter. He is a news commentator and, in that role, he does not report the news; he only comments on the news. As a commentator, he gives us his views and only his views and he is under no obligation to be fair or balanced while doing so. This would be different if he portrayed himself as someone who was reporting the news. And I think it is very important to keep this point in mind when discussing the relevance of his show.

That said, when I watch his show, I usually expect him to have guests who oppose his views so I would expect John O’Neill’s interview to be one where Bill O’Rielly opposes John O’Neill. And, personally, I would not want it any other way. I also expect O’Reilly to be fair with O’Neill and would be surprised to see any Chris-Matthews-type antics.

In my opinion, much of the SBVT’s credibility stems from the fact that the media has gone out of their way to condemn them and, yet, the American people still believe them because they always come across as telling the truth. And, the tougher the interview, the more this fact comes across. I have yet to see an interview were these guys did not score some good points (regardless of the hostility of the person giving the interview). And, when the goal is to undermine a candidate’s credibility, a few good points is all it really takes.

So, please, I beg you guys to continue to take every opportunity to keep hammering home the message that the media simply cannot possibly know the truth until candidate Kerry releases ALL of his records and journals.

Force them to start asking the dreaded “WHY” question.

Why does the candidate want to keep those records away from the media’s scrutiny?

it's been my impression that O'reilly is tuned in on a person's public backing.
given that O'rielly will be aware of O'Neil's popular support i look for O'Neil to have an easy time.

i don't believe Bill will dare to try to put John O in a bad light

It looks like I have to retract my comment about emails having no effect on BOR. I don't really know what has changed his mind about reading the book, but it very may have been the email barrage that did the trick. Whatever it was, he will know the score when O'Neill shows up, and that is a major difference from before.

I think BOR is very full of himself since his show is #1 rated TV cable news show on tv and hes going more towards the left to dig up more viewers. I think Oneill is being set up for an ambush. Though im confident O'Neill is more than prepared for one.

O'Reilly has lost his credibility over the swift boat veteran issue and to read that he has never read the book sinks it even lower. I and probably like most veterans have found more professional and fair minded commentators to listen to for analysis and let's not forget that watching these channels extensively puts us into a passive role rather than taking direct action such as handing out flyers, writing letters to the editor, donating Unfit for Command, etc.

This week I am in the process of handing out 1,000 flyers (flyer was made available from the forum) for the swift boat veterans so that they public learns the "truth" about John Kerry and they can donate to support the cause.
