Who: Bill O’Reilly - Spinning a web of no spin.
Bill is perfect example of someone who is almost what he appears to be. To a naive person this very well spoken, extremely organized person appears to run just what he proclaims to, a “No spin zone”. Well, with a little bit of knowledge you will quickly realize that he spins, he rolls, he tosses, he dodges, he diverts and he ends up right were he started, with his personal point of view being declared victorious. Bill is sometimes fair, but only when there is no chance of challenging his view. Out of the Fox bunch, Bill does have the most integrity, which is a very scary reality! Talk about setting low standards.
Journalism Credentials Masters degree in journalism.
There is no doubt that Mr. O’Reilly has a real education in journalism. He did however seem to forget the definition of journalism.
Journalism: ''j&r-n&l-"i-z&m - : writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation and without opinion.
Indicators:
Certain Outcome: the entire goal of Bill’s show is to prove his guest wrong, or right, depending on who the guest is. The bottom line is that whatever Bill’s position was prior to his show, that will be his position after the show. Even if he acknowledges a point or two he concludes every show with a pseudo intellectual “I told you so”. There is no point in watching this nonsense. It is a news infomercial for Bill’s opinion. Attack the messenger: Much like the almost all of the Fox News on screen clowns, Bill does his share of launching personal attacks on people who do not share his views. He does his share of name calling and pointing out controversial aspects of people he disagrees with regardless of weather it has anything to do with the current topic. To paint a picture of how wrong this to do when dealing with journalism you might think of it this way, regardless of Michael Jackson’s odd personal life you can not in any way question his musical talent. Mr., O'Reilly would use Michael’s personal life to discredit his talent. It is wrong both technically and morally. God’s Word: Bill takes it upon himself to declare what is right, wrong, brave, cowardly, patriotic, treason, etc. He gets up on his pulpit and speaks Gods word. OK Bill, settle down. We know how you feel, don’t claim to be the clearing house for ethics and Human conscience
Why he is dangerous:
The big danger with Bill is that he conducts himself in a very authoritative manner. He is impressive. He also tells people over and over how fair he is, so unless you have a clue you will believe him. Remember we are a society of mostly followers. Not that there is anything wrong with that but the truth is that people are easily fooled. Bill put’s on a great show and his impressive delivery is very convincing.
A Message:
Hey Bill, a person with your level of education in journalism should realize that opinion has no place in journalism. While you may be qualified to be a journalist, you are not currently practicing the craft. You should be honest and just admit what you are, a right wing conservative who argues his opinions very impressively. You are another example of Fox News’ fraudulent claim of being a “News” network. Someone with your education should realize that once opinion enters journalism exits
US 'censored' green report - US environmental policies have caused worldwide anger The White House has removed sections of a report by the US Government's own environmental agency to water down references to global warming, say senior Democrats. - TVNL comment: Still no word of this on TV except for Bill O’Reilly. Bill actually spoke out against this! We have to give him gredit where credit is due! O'Reilly's Online Spanking - In fact, the Fox commentator and radio host is being slapped around by some online folks who ordinarily would agree with his conservative philosophy. "We distort. You comply" - Even in a down economy, there are some business models that still work -- selling T-shirts comparing Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly to Hitler, for example. Oh Really O'Reilly - COSMOS LEFT believes FOX talk show host Bill O'Reilly has emerged as one of the most dangerous individuals in this country. There are other bourgeois pundits more personally obnoxious than O'Reilly--Hannity, Colter, Limbaugh--but none of these cretins pretends to be working class heroes. O'Reilly does claim to speak for workers, as fascist demagogues usually do. Bill O'Reilly's Crack-up on Parade! - If you enjoyed watching Bill O'Reilly being handed his ass in a hat over the past few months by Al Franken, find this week's Parade magazine in your local paper. It's downright disturbed -- like Norman Bates disturbed. Apparently a contributing editor of this silly insert, O'Reilly uses the pretense of excerpting his new book to write the cover story about himself. Bill O’Reilly’s Final Solution - The Fox news host has a history of making racist remarks and advocating the mass murder of civilians. When four armed US mercenaries were killed in Fallujah, O’Reilly commented: “Problems continue for the U.S. Military in Fallujah. Why doesn't the U.S. Military just go ahead and level it?” He made it clear he doesn’t “care about the people of Fallujah” and that “we know what the final solution should be.” Apparently, the mass slaughter of hundreds of civilians in Fallujah by the US military just didn’t do it for O’Reilly. O'Reilly Hit With Sex Harass Suit - Hours after Bill O'Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies.
