But they'd rather not air the benefit and mention the tragedy in Haiti as little as possible and then complain when people don't come running when they call. At the very least, it goes to show how irrelevant O'Reilly is as it pertains to reporting real news. It's not hard to find where the money goes: Evenly split between UNICEF, the United Nations World Food Programme, the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Oxfam, the American Red Cross, Partners in Health and Yéle Haiti, a foundation formed by Wyclef Jean. The article you linked to has a link to CharityNavigator.org, which lists most of those. Besides, if O'Reilly simply wanted to know where the money went, he should be contacting those charities directly, don't you think? Lastly.... if it's so important to make sure enough money goes to the Haitians in need, why didn't FNC do a telethon? Where is their support? Where is Bill O'Reilly collecting donations and where is that money going? That's right. They save their support for tea baggers...

Once again, O'Reilly, as you've quoted him above, was simply looking to uncover the money trail. MTV spearheaded an effort to raise as much money as possible to assist the Haitians, with celebrities manning the phones ready to take your call. Yet with numerous reports circulating that donations through many charities are not making it to the victims, O'Reilly asks MTV to describe exactly how it will do so. And he gets no response. So, FNB, are we Americans expected to simply open our wallets and pour money into Haiti without having an understanding of exactly what, where, when, and how that money will be applied to the crisis there? If that's the progressive, liberal expectation, then please donate to my "Pay Off Marbran's Debts" charity. I guarantee you that all donations will go directly to that cause! Hell, even NBC got O'Reilly's sentiment right just two days ago: http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=11819076 To quote: "Leslie Anthony with the American Red Cross says, "It's really important that you as a donor are staying on top of things and that you are aware as possible of what organizations are soliciting where the money is going." " But old Bill is just mean for ignoring Haitians' plight. GMAFB! Meh. Once again, O’Reilly, as you’ve quoted him above, was simply looking to uncover the money trail.
