Exposing our benevolent leader as a fraud - bad.
More Paris Hilton - good.
Bread and circuses.

Fox News is to Journalism as
WWE Wrestling is to Sports.
O'Reilly is a pompous thug that works for the Fox Republican Propaganda Network. At least in the former Soviet Union citizens knew they were being lied to; Americans actually believe and agree with the Right Wing talking points repeated everyday on Fox News, Rush, Savage, etc.
The rest of the world saw more of the carnage inflicted on Iraq in 2003 than most Americans, whose taxes support the War Department. CNN International showed the results of missiles, bombs, cluster bomblets, and white phosphurus rounds landing on Iraqi women and children. CNN (U.S.) did not.
Americans are celebrity consumed because that's what the media has fed them.

There is a persistent campaign to try to have the media downplay the reality of the violence in Iraq. He is simply part of that campaign. It sometimes takes the form of criticizing the media for not presenting enough pleasant stories or good news about Iraq.
It apparently is not working since the violence in Iraq continues unabated and individuals would, in any case, have access to other sources of information from the foreign press on the Internet. The US media doesn’t want to look absolutely silly so they continue to report what is happening.

Tell the dead soldiers' families these bombings are not important like O'Lie-ly said. I cannot believe old Dilldo lathered up about Fox's reporting of the War when Fox had been slammed for not covering it as much as the other networks....oh, wait.....I can. He was trying to justify why Fox does not cover the war very much. Fox thinks sensationalism and opinions are more important than real news.

Let's take this a step further. I think we should question the journalism of Fox News in general. Case in point. Watch these:
Video #1 actual footage from the candidates debates (on Fox, no less!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD7dnFDdwu0
OK, now go to video two
Video #2 how fox reported on this part of the candidates debate which fox earlier showed live:

Any more questions?

I've been watching this for 2 days. O'Liely said "Does
anyone really care about the bombing in Tikrit?, No".
Also, that Fox does less reporting about Iraq simply
because they have no way of finding out what is really
going on in Iraq.
He might have cooked himself this time.

Welcome to BO faux news. He has sold out , bought the farm, lost his marbles seems like he has a invincible plated shield that he can do no wrong. Sad he was a good journalist once upon a fairy tale time. Change the channell. I did long ago.

He was exactly right on when he said the left leaning media reports every KIA and bad situation. The media wants this war lost, so therefore they have to keep bringing only negative news to the table. It's exactly what the terrorists want, they want all loss of life shown over and over. He also was talking about his own show, not Fox News.

Why no, I hadn't. I too find it interesting that some media outlets, Yahoo included, headline bad news against America. If you only watched CNN or looked at Yahoo news and other liberals you would think that our soldiers have made no progress at all. It's kind of like propaganda against my country...know what I mean? Glad I could enlighten you a little.

They actually show less of Paris Hilton than both CNN and MSNBC. He also said that he personally doesn't show bombings that occur everyday, not FOX News, because he doesn't see the point in showing every bombing on his show as everyone knows war is hell. He usually only speak about his show, he doesn't run the network.

Oreilly is a joke. Too bad cons don't know it.
He once blamed a rape victim for being out at night. The way he said it, she was begging for it.
Sick.
