Chances are Arnold didn't stop in 2000. Serial sexual predators rarely stop until they are forced to. We will see how many more women step forward in the next few days. The jury is still out on whether Arnold should be arrested. But first someone needs to press charges on a recent rape or battery allegation.

Well yes, that's true. But I think it stinks because of the timing, like a last minute political smear to swing the vote away from Arnold, esp the woman's vote, with no time to counter the charges just before the election. A classic political tactic. Where were these women for the last three years? And now they step up. It stinks like politics. And it's so obvious.

The Oh Really? Factor: Unspinning Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly NEW YORK - October 3 - FAIR is pleased to announce the release of "The Oh Really? Factor: Unspinning Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly." Written by FAIR's Peter Hart, the book sets the record straight on the errors and inconsistencies on the most-watched program on cable news. About the book: "Caution: You're about to enter a no-spin zone" is the warning with which Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly kicks off his no-holds-barred cable news program, The O'Reilly Factor, every night. O'Reilly is the reigning king of cable news, with a huge lead in the ratings, two best-selling books and a nationally syndicated radio program. O'Reilly's "no spin zone" motto is clever marketing-- but who's keeping track of O'Reilly's own spin? From his support for Bush's tax cuts and a war with Iraq to his attacks on everything from National Public Radio to "welfare mothers," O'Reilly consistently concocts evidence to support his conservative talking points. Sometimes it's even hard to keep track of O'Reilly's opinions: after the September 11 attacks, he advocated devastating bombing against civilian targets in a number of countries, including Libya ("Let them eat sand."). Questioned about it a few weeks later, O'Reilly was spinning: "I never said bomb a civilian. I would bomb military targets. I would bomb military targets.... I'm not talking about civilians." Following in the footsteps of FAIR's hit book, 'The Way Things Aren't: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error', 'The Oh Really? Factor' uses facts and humor to challenge the many absurd, outlandish, and just plain incorrect statements made by the country's most-watched cable news host. CC
