This is true! O'Rielly had no reason to follow Murdock & was livid Murdock was willing to sink Fox to such low depths. O'Rielly wasn't going to compromise his integrity to air oj. My neice is an NBC co producer in N Y for Today Show. She Emd some a heads up abt 10 days ago then followed with an E stating O'Rielly was going to walk - along with other interesting issues re this topic. She stated Regan contacted NBC news offices after Barbara Walters turned the interview down. NBC was quick to say no way would they ever touch the story.

Hobie16, "rat bastard" is close but still too good for oj.

I was trying to keep it clean for the family audience here.

Latest news says Fox was banking on big audience numbers from this as their TV season is in the toilet. The only things they've got coming up is 24 and American Idol. They don't hit until January. Rupert's gonna get a lump of coal in his stocking.

"House" did much better last year because they didn't have it competing head to head with "Dancing With the Stars." That'll teach them to program a thoughtful, well-written, adult type show against pop culture.

The L.A. Times had an interesting article this morning regarding the number of Fox affiliates pulling out, as well as lack of sponsers that they were getting for the O.J. show. At the end of the day, it was indeed an economic decision. Shame, but either way, it's off the air, the books are going to be destroyed and recycled and O.J. will have to crawl back under that rock he belongs under (preferable one of say, oh I don't know, at least 3 tons).

Last night Leno did a bit abt oj then went on to mention his guests. "Tonight we have The Killer on. No! Not oj. Jerry Lee Lewis." Smooth & cool, yet with a sharp point. ;)

This is a story that keeps on giving. It now turns out that Fox tried to buy off the Brown and Goldman families with a piece of the profits. They obviously turned the offer down.

Darph, I don't think anyone would accuse you of being prejudiced, and it shows how silly our society has gotten when we have to write disclaimers in our posts to that effect. He is worthless and a traitor to his own race for so many reasons that came up during the trial. For all intents and purposes, he was living as a white man once he divorced his first wife. He never lived in Ladera Heights (the exclusive black neighborhood near Fox Hills, where wealthy folks live) - he lived in Dana Point and Brentwood. He married white, he socialized with white people, including one of my girlfriends from H.S. who lived up the street from them in D.P. He hired a civil rights attorney who hijacked the case into being one of race, and willingly, shamelessly played the race card for all it was worth for a jury of undereducated people who were willing to make a political statement, rather than doing the right thing by Ron and Nicole. Yes, he may have gone into the 'hood, to thank everyone immediately after the trial, but since when has he gone back? Does he do anything for any black causes? Doesn he do anything for Africa? You don't see him celebrating Kwaanza or his own blackness. Does he date black women? You wanna piss a black woman off, be a black man dating white women (ask some of my other gf's from h.s.). He is a hypocrite, pure and simple. He played black long enough to save his own ass, and went back to living as a white man as soon as he could.

Being a Latina, I am going to have to throw in my own disclaimer here and claim not to be prejudiced as I was part of a rainbow tribe of girlfriends in school (black, Chinese, Jewish and me, the token brown girl).

As Dennis Miller used to say, why be a racist and denigrate an entire group of people simply for the color of their skin, when you can get to know someone really well and find so many good reasons to hate them for themselves?
