LOL what a dick

Bill O'Reilly is a horrible excuse for a journalist, if you could even call him that. "The No Spin Zone" my ass, what a joke. More accurately, it's the "Super Right Spin Zone".

The CBC did a small documentary on his show, and he took the time to criticize the Canadian media for being a bunch of commies. Personally, I don't even take that as an insult, since journalists of his "caliber" are the equivalent of fascists (all things being equal ) But the whole country leans left, or at least lefter than the US. Hello? Gay marriage? Hello? Public Healthcare. Is it really that surprising? It's not like it's a new trend up here. Our 'hardcore' Conservatives aren't even as right-wing as your Democrats... they called Kerry a liberal? Ha, he'd be a Conservative if he was in our parliament. CNN liberal? Just barely, maybe, by our standards. But then, I'm not complaining and I dont think many other people are either.

If you think he's a trustworthy, tell it like it is sort of man, then read this: http://mediamatters.org/items/200405020006
The CBC confirmed that there is no such publication as the "Paris Business Review".:cheers:

But it's not like I care what O'Reilly thinks. It's that people listen to his right-wing ranting that worries me. He spins things so hard you'd think he was a possessed washing machine. I dare say it's not even spinning. Tucker Carlson spins, Bill O'Reilly outright lies and tricks both viewers and 'guests'. And he dares to call himself non-partisan and no-nonsense? Fox dares call itself fair and balanced?

He's nothing more than a right-wing propaganda peddler. He doesn't care about the truth at all, only furthering his neo-conservative agenda... gee, if you replace "right-wing" and "neo-conservative" with "liberal", you'd swear I was one of them. Interesting how hypocrisy comes so easily to them.:|

>>Vin Diesel<< would simply tell O'Reilly that his life is meaningless and that his human tissue would serve The Cause better as hamster food. When he scoffs at this, Vin will eat a knife to indicate the seriousness of his statement.

Yeah, that would be suitably EXTREME

This is almost as bad as the US Media calling our capital Londonistan.

Also found from the link.

"Why do the governments of Great Britain and other European nations let so many Muslims into their countries?"

Gee I don't know, because we like them? Because most Muslims are nice people?

Who said that? That's ridiculous!

that O reliy dude watch the video he call s us germans spineless cowards.....watch it

 

[CptStern]

Agreed. To not realize a news channel is either right or left(yeah some new channels are biased towards the left) is pretty ignorant. Also to claim that watching the news makes you ignorant is a pretty dumb comment itself.

Fox is conservative, just like CNN is liberal. It all depends on your point of view, if you lean to the left CNN won't seem as biased because it agrees with you, same with the right and FOX. So take that into consideration next time.

if cnn is liberal I'm a neo-conservative ...boy I cant believe you people think cnn (corporate owned) is liberal ...I've never heard one word even remotely resembling a criticsim towards the current occupation of iraq ...they're all about soldier fluff pieces and "everything in iraq is a-ok" reports

fox = neo-conservative
cnn = conservative
bbc/cbc = liberal

 

[Tr0n]

Ether way...I say get your news from the net.

Screw the bbc, cnn, fox, and all those other ones.

 

[Lemonking]

the media shouldnt be left or right

 

[Venmoch]

Who said that? That's ridiculous!

The CNN site, on a link to the other stories.

 

[clarky003]

Lemonking is bang on the money, there shouldnt be bias in news telling, its supposed to be and should be a disclosure of the truth, weither its politically correct or incorrect.

Oh God. Fox News is conservative to the same degree CNN is liberal. You can in no way call CNN conservative, to do so is just a joke. CNN is mocked in our conservative circles as much as you do Fox, how do you think it gained the common slander name Communist News Network?

Fox is currently the only major conservative voice on television. How funny that in it's young age of only a few years compared to CNN, it has gained more viewers than all of the competition. Kind of says something eh?

Liberals control the majority of the televised media and the majority of the newspapers.

However we conservatives do maintain a firm grip on radio. Air America flopped and was crushed by Savage, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.

Yeah, the world's full of the dumb and gullible.

And although most of Fox News COMMENTATORS (root word, COMMENT) are conservative, NEWS comes streamlined off of thigns such as the AP press or is just factually read. The actual news on Fox News is actually just straight news (For instance when Uma Pumeraju or any other ladies read it off or Shephard Smith's G-Block segment)

Commentators are the editorial part, which is the entertainment section. You can bet whenever breaking news happen it cuts those off (Fox News Alert flashes and it goes to a factoid reporter again) Examples of this were something like say the London attacks happening or the hurricanes.

Although the conservatives do outnumber the liberals on Fox it's not like they don't get the podium for debate. Example being Hannity and Colmes, pure right vs left debate show. Greta Van Susteran is also fairly liberal. The Beltway boys often argue with each other too on issues. Even if you don't like the commentators on Fox's side, you can't say that liberals aren't on the network given time at the podium as well invited on to argue for their side. There'd be no debate and no viewers if not.

I find it funny when someone posts a story linked to from Fox and they say "FOX NOT TRUE LOLZ" when it was something from the AP streamline.

to you it's liberal but I assure it is NOT liberal in comparison to other media outlets around the world ...liberalism is all but dead in the US ..what you call liberal is just a wide sweeping buzzword for anyone who disagrees with conservatism

Fox is currently the only major conservative voice on television. How funny that in it's young age of only a few years compared to CNN, it has gained more viewers than all of the competition. Kind of says something eh?

yes it does say something ...how the majority of americans would rather hear sound bites of knee-jerk reactionism rather than the quasi journalism the other major american media outlets tend to pump out ..seriously fox"news" is not news but rather a carefully orchestrated conservative propaganda machine ...I mean what self respecting news outlet would run with this highly charged headline when it wasnt even remotely true


look at the wording of the article:


"The former POW left Iraq on a stretcher with an American flag folded across her chest, and arrived at a U.S. air base in Germany late Wednesday for treatment at an American military medical center.


compare it to the headline from the same day from CNN

here's a how the story materialized

notice that by the 17th the washington post had revised their story fox however didnt

notice also that the american media had used sources that couldnt be verified? this goes against everything journalism stands for ...it was wholly apparent mainstream media is a mouth piece for the US military

Liberals control the majority of the televised media and the majority of the newspapers.

there's that buzz word again ...all televised US media is corporate owned ..they have fiscal resposibilities to their shareholders and parent companies ...they self-censor ...this is not liberalism

 

[K e r b e r o s]

foxtrot, how come US media never reports casualty figures for iraqis killed ...I mean we know of every single american death why doesnt the american media report iraqi civilian deaths?

Or they're military deaths for that matter?
