What I saw was "experts" not engaging on complex issues (voter ID, climat change, Benghazi) to discuss the possibility of alternative approaches. This is not to support the journalists, I could care less about the channel or the individuals involved. I just see the robust discussion of ideas as paramount to flushing out truth. However if shutting down a discussion fits ones ideology/narrative and makes them happy.... Have fun with that. (I will take Colin Powell as an expert on voter registration the day I accept O'Rielly as a principled journalist... Double strike out on that one)
And note how this is a video produced by a far-left propaganda machine (Media Matters), promoted by a far-left link bait website (Upworthy). Perhaps even more so than Fox news, Media Matters is just another monkey flinging poo. Everybody, duck!
"Monkey flinging poo" (haha!) how descriptive, how accurate. I'm not a big fan of Fox though I think they have some excellent individuals on there, Stossel, Nepolitano and a few others, but Media Matters is the bottom of the barrel from which the monkey is acquiring flinging material. Never heard of upworthy but it's on my radar now, Thanks.
Exactly. Media Matters is nothing short of a Marxist/Socialist Anti-American think tank. Sorry, I prefer my Stars and Stripes over their hammer a sickle.
Pin it!

Wait only 5 times?
BTW, the Reza Aslan thing is a bit more complicated. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/07/is-reza-aslan-off-the-hook/">http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/07/is-reza-aslan-off-the-hook/

I STILL love Bill Nye even though he's not on TV anymore.
