TV Host Fired for Criticizing Bill O’Reilly

A Boston TV host was fired by Comcast Cable, a well-known supporter and contributor to the Republican party, after publicly protesting the New England EMMY chapter’s decision to honor Fox News host Bill O’Reilly.

Nolan, the fired former host of the network’s CN8 Channel, believed that it was improper for the regional EMMY organization to nominate a figure as “partisan” as O’Reilly.

The host had this to say:

“He’s delusional,” Nolan said of O’Reilly. “He’s a man that mangles the facts. He inflates and constantly mangles the truth, and his frequent target is the ‘left-leaning’ media — the ones who do report the news fairly.”

Now, I realize that it’s only a local EMMY honor. But that’s the whole point. Why would Comcast risk their sterling reputation just to stamp out a little regional squabble?

Obama Finally Eroding Clinton’s Key Demographics

Mark Casey — Tue, 20 May 2008 21:01:38 +0000

We’re almost to the point where we can stop suggesting that white people and women will refuse to vote for Barack Obama. A new Gallup Poll not only has Obama opening up a 16 point lead over Clinton nationally, but she no longer has a majority of support among women, whites who didn’t go to college, and Hispanics.

It looks as though the Democratic party is starting to come together behind their presumptive nominee. Now, we can start the general election proper, which should be more interesting than it otherwise would’ve been, since both Obama and McCain have a strong appeal to independents and party moderates.

And what about CNN.com? Have they toned down their anti-Obama bias? A little bit. But you tell me if you’ve ever seen them link directly to Essence Magazine, an African American culture mag, other than today, when they’re linking to a feature about what John McCain will do to help African Americans?

I’m not saying it’s wrong for this Essence article to exist, and I’m certainly not implying that John McCain won’t do anything for African Americans. All I’m saying is, CNN has never linked to Essence before.
