Time now for the Most Ridiculous Item of the Day... I think it's safe to say that I had no idea what I was getting into when I told you in December that we would police the media for personal attacks in the new year 2006.

The situation is far worse than I thought.

Scores of American newspapers are printing personal attacks on people with whom they disagree, and facts don't matter; accusations are the rule.

We've listed some of those media outfits on BillOReilly.com, and now the Atlanta Journal-Constitution joins the "don't buy, don't advertise" list.

Under the leadership of publisher John Mellott, editor Julia Wallace and editorial director Cynthia Tucker, the paper has become a far-left publication that slants news coverage and engages in defamation. As a result, the newspaper's circulation is in a free-fall--only the San Francisco Chronicle has steeper declines.

So, we urge fair-minded Georgians--and that's about 90% of you--to avoid the Atlanta Journal-Constitution until the Cox Company makes some changes, which it will have to do... sooner or later.

Ridiculous? Off the chart.
