As promised, the first in our series of
heartfelt but antagonistic emails to America's greatest news figures.
First up, the not very responsive Bill O'Reilly:

Lying Lawyers, Michael Moore

Dear Mr. O'Reilly,
I was a little perplexed awhile back
when you took an adversarial stance with Michael Moore;
I thought both of you were on the side of working stiffs
like me. Clearly you're much more pro-big business and
conservative than I had thought.
I was even more surprised recently to
see your temples throbbing with rage as you addressed
the fact that some lawyers may have been LYING. (September
18, 2002) Isn't that the very foundation of their occupation?
Sincerely,
Fred E. Flyovah
Ann Arbor, MI
PS as much as I question your integrity
and intelligence, I still tune in EVERY night. Donahue's
a pansy. How about a free T-Shirt, Signed Photo, or
Coffee Mug?

DC Sniper Beats O'Reilly In Nielsens

Dear Mr. O'Reilly-
Well, you and your kind have succeeded
in creating another superstar. Seems the DC sniper
is more worthy of airtime than even you, Bill.
I tried to tune in The Factor the other day, after
giving up on you for awhile because of your throbbing-templed
rants about lawyers who lie --- oh please! --- but
instead I tuned in to suffer endless, pointless speculation
about a backyard being dug up in Tacoma, Washington.
Drop us a line when Fox can get back to something
resembling intelligent journalism.
Regards,
Fred E. Flyovah
Ann Arbor, MI
PS -
1.) We still haven't received our coffee
mug or t-shirt either.
2.) Have you been replaced by Shepard Smith?

Dear Mr. O'Reilly-
As both a recovering substance abuser
and a resident of the state of Michigan, I found your
typically ignorant and antagonistic attitude toward
your guests of October 28 not only offensive, but informative.
Informative regarding your intelligence, Mr. O'Reilly,
which seems to be the only thing spinning in your "No
Spin Zone". Spinning rapidly downward in a hopeless
spiral.
Perhaps you'd rather all the money spent
domestically to help people were instead spent on the
wholesale deportation or unconstitutional imprisonment
of anyone who isn't as white or wealthy as yourself?
Regards,
Fred E. Flyovah
Ann Arbor, MI

Dear Mr. O'Reilly-
Touting The O'Reilly Factor as quality programming because
it gets high Nielsen ratings is like saying McDonald's
makes good food because they sell billions of hamburgers.
Maybe you should change your name to McReilly?
Regards,
Fred Flyovah
Ann Arbor, MI
PS- Since you haven't sent us a free coffee mug or T-Shirt,
let alone reply to our emails, perhaps you could at least
point us to the McProduct link where we can buy something
from the "No Fry Zone". |

Don't smash your TV yet, just turn it off for awhile
and see if you can still read...
Perpetual
War for Perpetual Peace
Gore Vidal's essays
rival those of George Orwell in their
insight and clarity. Although given to
some occasional liberal rants, his commentary
is nevertheless informed and thought-provoking.

Forbidden
Truth: U.S.-Taliban Secret Oil Diplomacy
With almost mind-numbing
detail, this book explores the complicated
events leading up to September 11, 2001.
A skilled novelist could only dream of
weaving a tale this complex and fueled
by such interesting characters, many of
whom are powerful figures rarely mentioned
in the mainstream media. A must-read if
you still feel unsettled about why 9/11
happened.

Holy
War, Inc.: Inside The Secret World of
Osama bin Laden
Even though he's a
CNN employee, Mr Bergen seems to have
covered the bases while assembling this
book. We especially enjoyed ironic details
like bin Laden's original call to aggression
being composed in Microsoft Word, on a
Mac. Think Different!
