It will come as no surprise to learn that Bill O'Reilly was the first Fox News on-air personality to to lose the Democratic Governors Association challenge:
In the wake of Fox News officially becoming the media arm of the Republican Party with its $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association, Nathan Daschle, the executive director of its Democratic counterpart has issued a challenge in a letter to Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes:
In the interest of some fairness and balance, I request that you add a formal disclaimer to your news coverage any time any of your programs cover governors or gubernatorial races between now and Election Day.
During Wednesday's broadcast, Bill-O had the Republican gubernatorial candidate from Ohio, John Kasich, on his program and didn't bother to inform his audience that he had a vested interest in promoting Kasich's candidacy.
On the other hand, O'Reilly was fair and balanced. He opened by calling Kasich his "pal," cited a Rasmussen poll, said that Kasich's Democratic opponent wouldn't come on his show because he couldn't handle the questions. O'Reilly then peppered Kasich with hard-hitting questions on the President, how the liberal media might hurt him, and whether Sarah Palin would be campaigning for him. Ouch.
