                Update: Astoundingly, Fox New's Bill O'Reilly came very 
                close to apologizing to the American people as he pledged to do 
                if no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. The best 
                he could...[continued] 
                
             
            
               
                 
                    
                    Bill signs 
                    his latest book after a speech in San Francisco on Nov 20, 
                    2003.

            Well known host of the 
              Fox News program The O'Reilly Factor, Bill 
              O'Reilly, apologized to the nation during a speech and book 
              signing in San Francisco on Nov 20, 2003, saying he no longer trusts 
              president Bush. 
            The apology was prompted 
              by statements O'Reilly made earlier this year that he would apologize 
              to the nation and never trust Bush, or the Bush administration again, 
              if weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq. 
            Protesters in support 
              of O'Reilly gathered outside San Francisco's Masonic Auditorium 
              to voice, in a truly San Francisco way, their deep appreciation 
              and admiration for O'Reilly.  
            
            In a strange twist O'Reilly 
              also stated that he has come to believe that "Fox News distorts 
              the news," he is really a secular leftist, and that Noam Chomsky 
              is just "really cool." 
            This was quite a shock 
              to some of O'Reilly's fans, though, most were quick to forgive him 
              because, as one woman exclaimed, "he's really hot!" 
            After the speech O'Reilly 
              was able to spend several hours signing books for his legions of 
              adoring fans who apparently listened to, or at least heard, an entirely 
              different speech, as they seemed oddly nonplused by his out of character 
              behavior. 
            
               
                 
                    
                    O'Reilly contemplates 
                    his change of heart under the banner of the event sponsor, 
                    KNEW.

            "Oh he's just joking 
              you liberal loser" a belligerent gentleman in a rather expensive 
              suit said to a certain corespondent. 
            "Oh yeah, well you're 
              an idiotic ditto-head!" the correspondent yelled back. 
            "That's Rush dumbass!" 
            "Who you calling 
              a dumbass!" 
            I...err... I mean the 
              correspondent was summarily ejected from the auditorium. This was 
              just as well as there was much more important news to cover like 
              the travails of Michael Jackson, and the next enthralling twist 
              in the Laci Peterson case.
