NPR Will Now Hunt Down Bill O'Reilly Like a Dog and MAKE Him Answer Questions [Cowards]


NPR's Tell Me More devoted a panel to the fact that Fox News created, sponsored, hyped, and otherwise bears complete and total responsibility for the tea parties. And Fox wouldn't come on the show!

This is interesting in light of the fact that Fox has made a practice of stalking people who refuse to come on the Factor Zone and face Bill O'Reilly's tough-but-fair stream of sexual innuendo. A Fox producer recently explained the tactic to the New York Times: "We're trying to get answers from people.... Sometimes the only way to get them is via these methods." Jesse Watters, another Fox producer who actually has the job of following slight young women for hours while they go on weekend trips with their boyfriends and then ambushing them with a camera crew even though they never had any idea that Fox wanted to "get answers" from them because they were never asked to come on O'Reilly's show, has summarized it thusly: "If they don't come to us, we'll go to them."

When the reporter who wrote the above-mentioned Times piece tried to "get answers" from Watters, the big-talking manly man declined. But at least Fox was willing to put someone up to defend themselves.

No such luck for NPR. Said host Michel Martin:

And I should mention at this point that we asked Fox News for a representative to come on the program to characterize how they view their coverage of these tea parties. We worked at it all day and after repeated requests, they declined to provide a guest or issue a statement or assist in our conversation in any way. So, I think it's fair to point that out.

And balanced!

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
