Center for Online Investigative Research

This project is designed to track bias by Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly. On September 27, he interviewed President George Bush. In that interview he asked:

"The first one is, according to a poll taken by the Coalition Provisional Authority (search) last spring, only five percent of the Iraqi people see the United States as liberators. Are you surprised they don't appreciate the American sacrifice more?"

The above question linquistic frame is biased. It describes US involvement in Iraq as "the American sacrifice" as "liberators". If one disagrees with that bias, one sudden becomes anti-American and anti-liberation, when neither may be true. One may disagree with US involvement in Iraq for a number of reasons. The question, as framed, is not objective.
