As I arrived at the ballroom of the Omni Shorehem hotel in Washington yesterday to give a speech at the Take Back America conference, I was approached by one of Bill O'Reilly's video crews, looking to do an ambush interview about objectionable anonymous comments that appeared on our site (comments that we unequivocally repudiate and take down as soon as we become aware of them; more on this in a moment).

O'Reilly has been banging this tired drum -- calling me no different from Nazis and the KKK -- for weeks now and is giddily promoting yesterday's exchange on his website as "An Explosive Showdown. We confront the Huffington Post over Tony Snow comments." (It will apparently air tonight).

My first response to the Fox hit squad was that they needed a lesson on the rudiments of how the Internet works, especially when it comes to comments.

HuffPost gets around 500,000 comments a month. These comments are anonymous and in no way represent my opinions, or the opinions of HuffPost or our bloggers. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to abusive or hateful language or comments -- such comments are taken down as quickly as they come to the attention of our moderators.

And we are constantly working to develop new technologies -- and backing them up with more and more 24/7 moderators -- which will allow us to more effectively filter out objectionable comments. But no system is perfect and offensive comments occasionally slip through -- on our site and any place else on the Internet that encourages a free and open exchange of ideas. Including the Fox News site.

Indeed, Crooks and Liars' John Amato has gathered a collection of hateful comments that can still be found on foxnews.com. And Keith Olbermann has pointed out comments posted on Bill O'Reilly's own site that, among other things, threaten the life of Hillary Clinton.

Let me be as clear as possible. We find the kind of toxic comments O'Reilly is pointing out utterly repugnant and take them down. Period. But we refuse to let the vile actions of a miniscule number of anonymous, trouble-making trolls force us to shut down our comments section -- as many sites, including many conservatives sites, have done. We are committed to striking a balance between freedom of expression and freedom from a noxious atmosphere that ultimately discourages expression.

Finally, I find it laughable to be lectured on hate speech by Bill O'Reilly, who has done as much if not more than anyone else in the media to debase the public dialogue. He spews hate as readily as he breathes. It's his lifeblood.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if O'Reilly had one of his staffers put these offensive comments up on HuffPost, just so he could have something to rail against.

1. I didn't bother to read this article, busy right now, but, did want to say: THAT BILL O'REILLY IS SEEMING FAR MORE CREDIBLE TO ME NOW THAN THE IDIOTIC KEITH OLDMAN OLBERMANN, HE SHOULD GO BACK TO SPORTS BROADCASTING. I have not seen Olbermann do a SPECIAL COMMENTARY ON IMPASTOR-REV. WRONG (WHO IS NOT WRIGHT) asking Obama to stop the divisiveness and nastiness from him and his campaign. OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGN DREW FIRST BLOOD before the primary season when IMPASTOR-Wright made his Hillary "rich white people, privileged" hate sermon, yet they make themselves look like victims using the line: "The Clintons....".

2. The nerve to compare the great Bill Clinton to McCarthy for a very innocent remark re: PATRIOTISM? The nerve to make the Reagan Trajectory comment:

This so called Obama "CHANGE" coalition pushing for a new America is NOT THAT NEW! It was revitalized NATIONALLY in 1992 with a great man named: Bill Clinton preaching diversity, equality and inclusiveness and acting on it. Clinton's transformation emanated from Lincoln's courageous stance and MLK's dream, a transformation that returned this country's trajectory back to one of equality, diversity, inclusiveness. A trajectory truly Indonesian (FOREIGN) to Reagan and Nixon and treated like a "fairy tale" by Obama.

3. O'REILLY: You have mellowed down man! You are NO LONGER THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, that would be OLBERMANN AND MATTHEWS, TWO BIASED U KNOW WHAT!

I don't watch Fox so I wasn't aware of Arianna's predicament. I don't want the meters to include me as a percentage of the viewers who happen to watch FOX. It only adds to the rate they can charge for their advertisements. I will say this however, the recent fiasco where a FOX news anchor abandons the set appears to indicate that they have some reporters who have a conscious and are not totally out of touch with the reality of their broadcasts. Kudos to him.

As for the censuring:

Name calling just turns me off. Using foul language to get a point across doesn't bother me. I had a post censured because I used the word chosen. So its not as simple as one would think. I presume someone of the chosen flagged the post and it was retired.

I have read, learned and changed my views on some aspects due to the insightful posts here. Reading people refer to others as idiots, pigs, etc. may be fun to write and read but it doesn't change anyone's opinion or state of mind. It may say tons about the author. I may chuckle but I prefer a more challenging thought process.

Arianna, there is no need to defend against anything that comes from the news corporation. The owner and CEO has freely admitted that he believes that what the people want to hear is the same thing as news (I am paraphrasing). They might as well have prime-time interviews with Bat Boy. Incidentally, I personally have had a few comments I have made moderated right out of existence and overall I am grateful as I tend to be very passionate and I would hate to think I'd gone too far and become nasty.

While the guy who Arianna says "Threaten the life of Hillary Clinton" is an apparent whackjob and lonely man, nowhere on that thread does he imply he would kill Hillary. It sounds more like he would lock himself up in a cabin, Ted Kaczynski-style, and hole up there until her presidency is over. Or stage a revolt. Which would be quashed quickly, no matter what party is in power. I think that's stretching things a bit to say her life has been threatened.

Arianna,


I, RonaldMcDonald, do thank you very much for the time and effort that you have put forth into developing a site which I have enjoyed for years.

The ability to get the perspectives on the news from the MSM with all of the contorted twists that truth now goes through (showing us that we're not even getting anything remotely resembling truth from the MSM) and the bloggers who have contributed to this site have made it invaluable.


...However, the other thing which made this place unique was the ability to have open, running, real-time dialogue with people all across the planet of varying political beliefs.


Yes. It *did* get raw and unnecessarily abrasive at times... and *yes*, Bill O'Reilly has made statements before about your site that were beyond ludicrous, but then what does O'Reilly have to say that is ever actually correct?


He has declared his own culture war on the Huffington Post... the result? Queues which take forever to post and dialogue which no longer exists.


I used to come here *daily* (not always as a contributer) because I did enjoy the back and forth open dialogue between people.


The petty insults could get way out there (not that I didn't engage in that myself,) but the constant back and forth and steady stream of invectives could be quite tiresome... I would think that there would be ways to get around such people of pettiness.

To me, it seems as if O'Reilly has won this round... And it's a *major* victory: because we can no longer go to the MSM for the news, thus we come here, and while we may fight and disagree like some alcoholic inbred family in the Ozarks (my apologies to any Ozark inbred alcoholics that may be reading this,) we HAD freedom of expression and ideas... The *very* thing that the MSM and this corporate controlled government *do not* want us to have.


It looks like I'll be my computer's newsreader more often to get my RSS feeds and to stay informed.

In the meantime, please, reconsider your policy... At this rate: the Huffingpost will be nothing more than a distant memory, and we'll have lost something that at one time made the difference.

......and isn't THAT what they *really* want?

To shut us up and make us go away?

LET FREEDOM RING!

Let it deafen them... let's NOT be silenced by a loud mouthed half-witted sexual predator!!!




Respectfully,


RMcD

The Huffington Post without comments will be like running the White House without the US Congress.

I have read comments I have found more beneficial than the short posts of many bloggers.
In fact, the Editorial Board of the Huffington Post should blog the best comments on the posts and reports published on the website.

Without the active participation of the readers in the popular discussions, the Huffington Post will lose the quality time of unique visitors.
The longer visitors stay on a website, the more the mileage and patronage.

Comments are good indicators of the progress of a news media.

I used to watch Bill O, but now I cannot be in the same room when he comes on the television. It is very hypocritical of a man who would constantly label his political opponents as "pinheads", insults them, and shut off their microphones (when they are foolish enough to go his program) to label HuPo as a "hate" site. It was typical of his program not to inform his audience that "Town Hall.com" is a Republican oriented web site. And why is he is picking on Adrianna for earning money from the web site when he sells all sorts of gee-gaws and clothing promoting "The Factor" and hypes heavily his books when they are published?

I think the web editors at HuPo should remove these nasty and vicious comments similar to the cretinous attacks on Nancy Reagan and Tony Snow as soon as possible. By failing to monitor its contents more carefully, HuPo just provide fodder for sleazy Faux News commentators to distract the attention of the American couch potatoes from more pressing issues which might make them think more clearly about whether Bill O is truly "looking out for them."

One other point, I think the campaign by the Left to monitor and muzzle speech they find offensive is now being exploited by the Right in this country to muzzle the free speech of the Liberals and the Left. It is a great way to signal that certain speech is unacceptable. On the HuPo exists many interesting opinions and news items that Bill O and his masters would not want the American serfs to be aware of. So they label HuPo as "hate speech"!

Let's see .if this gets posted. I was blogging on Huffpost while watching Bill say that about Huffpost. I had noticed how nasty the remarks had been & had mentioned it online several times. I even stated that I wanted to like Qbama, but his supporters were so mean, it turned me off. As I was writing I added that I was watch tv at the same time & what I'd just heard.

As far as I know, that blog never got posted. I waited, came back & waited again, but I never saw it. I also noted that since then, I've have'nt seen so much hatred, and in fact I've seen some great posts, with great points. Some I agreed with & some I did'nt.

So maybe old Bill did us a favor by pointing out how nasty people were getting with each other. I had thought this to be an unbiased, intelligent blog in the beginning. Now I see it's an Obama blog. I keep going to other sites to try to find people who only discuss the facts & the issues, but most are about emotions.

I want my candidate to be in balance mentally, physically, materially, emotionally & spiritually, as I myself try to be. But, I can not tell you how many times I asked people to just talk about the points & not spew hate. So if you think this blog was never hateful, you are wrong. I was about to stop coming here until I hear O'Relliy say that ,while I was thinking the same thing at the same time. So, I'm back, & frankly the rhetoric has toned down. So maybe there was a silver lining in that cloud.

This is what's called "projection," and the radical right are experts at it. While they're in the midst of doing something despicable, they accuse the victim of doing the same thing. I've noticed the white racists are now calling Obama a racist for sitting through the Rev. Wright's "God d*** America" tirade, even though it's known that Obama was not present for that sermon. Well, say the racists, maybe he wasn't at that particular sermon but he must have been at others we don't know about where Wright cussed out America, so therefore Obama is a racist.

And nothing that has come out about what Wright has said could even be considered racist, such as white people are mentally inferior or born evil, etc. Wright is an angry black man, no doubt justifiably so, who let his anger get out of control sometimes. His outbursts seem more the exception than the rule and there's no indication that Obama was present for his most extreme statements. But that's not the story the media wants to go with. Not just Fox News, either; I've heard CNN pundits like Bay Buchanan claim that Obama sat through "God d***" tirades and another allowed how Obama was lying when he said he had never heard anything that extreme from Wright.

Obama gave two important speeches last week, one on Iraq and one on the economy, but the cable news networks barely mentioned them. It's going to be race, race, race, all the time until they've brought down Obama, I'm afraid.

Once upon a time I use to watch Bill O'Reilly on Fox news and yes, I did enjoy his show but as time went by I could see that Bill had taken some backwards steps. Bill O'Reilly is no longer fair and balanced and it is no longer the no spin zone as he states it is. What happened to you Bill? Why are you on a continuous downward spin? Where do you have room to talk? Bill, remember the saying, those that live in glass houses could not throw stones?
Arianna, you handled Bill O'Reilly's comment just fine and I would suggest that Fox News give a moderator position to Bill as The Factor is sure losing a lot of viewers. Bill has been going down hill for a very long time now and I suggest Fox News Headquarters do something with him. His Factor is a total spin zone meaning Bill spins it all his way and expresses his views only regardless of facts brought before him. Bill you have tunnel vision and as far as fair and balanced goes, it's only fair and balanced in your views. I guess Bill you must think your views are the only views that are fair and balanced. I have written a few times to you Bill and Fox News Headquarters in telling of my disgust in you and your program. Come on Bill, remember the time you stated that John Edwards owes you an apology regarding the subject of our homeless vets? Again you were so wrong Bill, you were the one who owed John Edwards an apology. Our veterans Bill have fought for our country and you and me an all Americans and our veterans must be helped. You did change your mind a day or two latter and then wanted to help our veterans and you said NOW so you see Bill mistakes happen and opinions change. All I can say is Fox News Headquarters must have gotten tons of mail on your segment about our veterans because your opinion sure changed abruptly. Perhaps the name of your show should be changed to Bill's Views And Opinions because that's what your doing Bill, you do not listen except to yourself and you have to be always right.
I read many comments on the Huffington Post and I do not see hate from top to bottom so I don't know where you are seeing this on the Huffington Post Bill. I also have written on the Huffington Post and if you read my comments you will see they are not full of hate but they do address the issue and my feelings and that is what commenting is about. There is no person in the world that can control every individual in what they write as you can see Bill from the comments left on Fox News and you are going to get some wild comments out there at any given time. There will be some that will be full of hate anywhere on the Internet for that matter and all must be monitored. I have one little problem in writing on the Huffington Post and that is that it takes so long before my post is approved so you see Bill, Arianna is not promoting hate but what she is doing is monitoring it the best she can and as you can see on the comments left on your own site that some will slip through. Again, the moral of the story is: Those that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

From time to time, I switch back to Fox just to see what they are talking about and then I immediately turn the channel, because it is the same kind of ugly stuff that is repeated on the show all day long and into the night. I just think that when the viewing audience dwindles, maybe the show will understand that people just do not like listening to that garbage.

I too use to watch Bill back in 2002-2003 when my local cable company first got Fox News. He seemed more fair and balanced then, particularly his reservations about going to war in Iraq--which I opposed from the beginning of the drum beating in August because I knew they were not tied to the Twin Towers and that it woulkd be a cluster if we went in and that we would become mired just as we were in Viet Nam. And I remember Bill saying that for the moment he would support the President on the decision to go in but that if WMD were not found he would oppose the incursion and would speak out loudly about it being a mistake. When it became evident that there were no WMD's--just as I had told people--and he didnot change his position and continued to be a strong avocate for the war, that's when he showed his true colors to me. Now, every once in a while I'll tune him in for a couple minutes just to get my blood pressure up and that's about all I can take of him.
