O'reilly gone liberal??

[Retro]

amazingarthur, you really are amazing. I checked out your hate O'Reilly website and several things came to mind. First of all, O'Reilly must be making quite an impact if somebody feels the need to develop a whole website dedicated to discrediting him. Kind of speaks to his influence and the fact that somebody is really, really scared of him to bother to do that. Actually, I'm impressed-negatively. Only really "little" minds develop "hate sites" aimed at other people. ( Actually somebody did that to me once- maybe I should be flattered!) Frankly "hate so-and-so" sites DON'T impress me any way but negatively, but not about the target, about whoever does it. Most thinking people feel the same way. Another thing stood out on that site. O'Reilly was critical of the paltry amount of aid France offered to help with the hurricane when they had been first in line to criticize the US Tsunami aid effert awhile back, pointing out that it was hypocritical. ( maybe because it was.) This site quoted an article in an attempt to discredit O'Reilly and then mentioned whether we should also "count the canteens" to evaluate our military help to France. Well, this one went all over me. You see, there is a citation hanging on my wall from France that was my Daddy's. It was for his service in World War ONE. The war in which 124 of his buddies fought to help the French and only 23 of them came back alive. Maybe we should count the canteens. And all those crosses at Normandy. In attempting to discredit O'Reilly's pointing out the disparity between sending a few tents to help our hurricane victims and us sacrificing thousands of our finest to help France in two wars, this website makes his point rather eloquently. It really is, well, amazing. My guess is the people slamming O'Reilly never watch him. I suggest everyone try it and see for themselves what you think.

In case you ever doubt that O'Reilly is a CONSTANT liar and right wing propagandist, just check out the tally they keep on him. Typical of you guys. You can't argue the facts Neo Cons.

I read some of their tally "facts" in which they do a transcript of the program. You gotta be kidding! The transcripts they are quoting support O'Reilly's conclusions! And I'm just wondering what "they" are so AFRAID of that "THEY" are devoting whole websites to trashing this guy. I'm just a cantankerous enough old fart to want to watch and think for myself about what THEY are trying to tell me not to watch so THEY can interpret it for me. Guess what? I can do it all by my ownself, thank you very much. I really don't need THEM!

[amazingarthur]

They document a lot of misinformation about a lot of media reporting. Just so happens "Loofa Brush Boy" is one of the biggest LIARS working in the media.

How can you dispute the facts?

It's easy. Because I can read, hear and watch and think for myself. And their "facts" do not support what I read, hear, and watch about and on the O'Reilly Factor. It's funny "they" just don't encourage people to watch the show and come to their own conclusions about the "facts". Apparently since more people watch the guy than his competitors, there must be a lot of folks who think they can think for themselves without "them" telling them how to interpret the show.

O'Reilly is not my favorite but he is not a liberal or a conservative. I think he leans a little left buy not to far. I sometimes agree with him and sometimes not. I agree with him about the borders but disagree about gun control. All and all he is far more fair than the majority of the main stream media. He is also not a news reporter but a pundit as are Rush and Sean. News reporters are supposed to be unbiased but are so blatantly liberal it is laughable. Pundits only offer their opinions. Reporters are supposed to deal in facts not opinions.
O'Reilly's ratings and those of Fox show that people don't like the way the MSM slants stories.

[amazingarthur]

You consider MSN slanted, but not FOX? MSN is only slightly less right than FOX. FOX is the official right wing brain washing network. "FOX, if we repeat it enough, you'll believe it." Did you know, most people who watch FOX think that Iraq actually attacked us on 9-11? And that's exactly how the right would like you believe it.

Have you seen Tucker Carlson or Joel Scarborough on MSN? Both those guys are weasels for the white house. Just like Sean Hannity!

The comments on these boards are some of the stupidest comments I've heard from the right yet, except Gov. Bush.

[satellite66]

I must have missed typed MSM is main stream media.
The problem is that far leftys like you don't realize that they are out of the norm. You think your in the middle. Fox is neutral and because you are so far left you think they are far right. That is why Fox has the ratings it has. People want reporting not indoctrination. The rest of the media is left and apparently not left enough for you.

Yes, but those would be yours. Nobody who watches Fox thinks Iraq attacked us on 9-11. I have never, ever heard any such thing on there or elsewhere from people who watch. However, I have heard, and believe, that the war in Iraq is vital to taking it to the terrorists on their own turf, part of the broader war on terror which is global, and a vital part of defeating the people who did attack us on 9-11, who are connected in Iraq and all over the world. There is ample evidence to support that and if you don't believe it you are not living in reality.

Really,

Check this out......
A study by the Program on International Policy Attitudes and a polling firm called Knowledge Networks found that heavy Fox viewers were the least well-informed of all news consumers. Fully 45 percent of Fox viewers believed that the US had found ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, had unearthed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and that the war was supported by most people in other countries. Among those who relied on CBS News, the figure was 15 percent; for PBS and NPR, it was just four percent.

BTW, there were no terrorists in Iraq, until we gave birth to them by invading. We should be looking for the real attacker, Bin Laden. Then imprison the next most dangerous person on earth Governor BUSH!

FOX, FAIR AND BALANCED, yeah sure......
