"So, just out of curiosity, who do you feel is a credible journalist? "

Where you get off refering to Billy O as a journalist is beyond me. He's not, never was, never will be. I'm not looking to promote anyone but I'll tell you this you need to look hard at what you consider journalism. O'Reilly is an entertainer. Or a better description may be wart on the ass of news media.

"According to your description, it seems that template could be applied to anyone couldnt it? Certainly such left luminaries as Michael Moore, Bill Moyers, Bill Maher or any of the others would fall under that blanket. or how about the BBC? Remember them? the ones who stated the day before Baghdad fell that they had not seen any evidence of Coalition forces being in the vicinity?"

I'm sorry you're so damn confused GA. Moore is an entertainer as well...same with Maher...Moyers certainly has an agenda he's not ashamed to hide. I think you need to figure out what's entertainment and what is supposed to be journalism.

"I would be very curious to know just what standard is being applied here."  

Look GA, I think we need to separate talk show opinions from news. Perhaps if you do that first it'll make standards easier to define.
