08 Jul 2003 Bill O’Reilly: If Bush Deserves to Be Treated Fairly Vis-a-Vis Iraq, He Deserves to Be Treated Fairly on Global Warming

Bill O’Reilly was right (July 7 FNC O’Reilly Factor) when he emphatically said opinion columns should contain documentation for inflammatory accusations (his example was an International Herald-Tribune column calling President Bush a liar).
I believe he’s right, but I wish he had applied this standard to his own “Talking Points Memo” of June 19, when he made the infammatory (and false) claim that President Bush is “censoring” federal government global warming studies.
See here and here for more of my thoughts on this particular point, and here for some of Bonner Cohen’s.
