O'Reilly Cuts Off His Vacation To Rage Against Media Coverage Of Ferguson

[DonViejo]

By CATHERINE THOMPSON Published AUGUST 21, 2014, 7:13 AM EDT

Bill O'Reilly was so furious about the way the media was reporting on the situation in Ferguson, Mo. that he left vacation Wednesday night to appear on "The O'Reilly Factor."

The Fox News host blasted NBC News in particular because he said it "pays Al Sharpton to deliver garbage." Sharpton has made several appearances in the Missouri city since an unarmed black teenager was fatally shot by a white police officer there on Aug. 9.

"Al Sharpton has the nerve to insult the American police community, men and women risking their lives to protect us," an incensed O'Reilly said. "This charlatan has the gall to do that and NBC News is paying him? My god, why is this acceptable?"

He then went after MSNBC contributor Michelle Bernard for saying there is a "war on black boys."

1. O'liely is a large part of what is wrong in this country today

[RKP5637]

8. Exactly! He and those like him keep raking the shit, keeping it stirred up to increase their wealth!

Too bad the fools that watch and support the bullshit are so dam clueless. He and those like him don't give a shit about the US! They just see it as a money making opportunity!

[madokie]

10. It all comes down to that one word, Greed

[RKP5637]

12. Yep! That's pretty much the common denominator! n/t

[Cha]

2. Says the garbage man projecting.

[RKP5637]

3. O'Reilly smells the money in all of this ... sees an opportunity to stir up some shit, maybe get

some more RW viewers and racists, increases his profit margins some more with a few more viewers. And his idiot audience can't see through this ...

[COLGATE4]

7. You're absolutely right. O'Loofah is only about

the money. He'll say whatever it takes in order to keep his mouth-breathing, Depends-wearing group of geriatric neo-nazis pumped up and tuned in to Faux (and particularly to HIM). Just another slogan he can put on his shlock coffee cups that good little Conservatives can order for Xmas from his website.

4. O'Reilly please! The press is carrying your racist pro-cop BS

Top story about Ferguson on google news yesterday was the nonsense story about Wilson having basically a fractured skull but still firing 2 headshots, never calling for medical assistance, AND standing over Michael Brown's body for HOURS.

"Unrest"
"Riots"
Etc are all YOUR spin

[muntrv]

5. Hey Loofah Man! Sharpton is acting no worse than say

Hannity at the Bundy Ranch.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. I can actually imagine his fan club clamoring for Bill to 'get out there and say something'

[Gothmog]

9. So what

O'Reilly is a joke and that fact that he is upset makes me smile

[Ikonoklast]

13. Under 'Cause', I have "Aneuryism" in the dead pool for BillO.

I'm looking pretty good lately.

[rurallib]

11. sounds like an outside agitator to me

arrest him, boys!

[jwirr]

14. Let's face it - O liely is not the only problem - it is the entire Faux News network. I wish we

could start working on the faux news advertisers and put them in the same boat as limpballs. They are not of any value to the idea of news and truth.

[Johonny]

15. Protecting "US." Us doesn't include the reporters arrested, shot at with rubber bullets, and gassed

nor any of the citizens wrongfully arrested or killed over the years. I agree with Bill, Al Sharpton is insulting the community that is designed to protest the "us." But you know Bill you might have to start getting used to the idea we're sick of only the "us" being protected and we're not shutting up.

[UTUSN]

16. The most self-deluded, 1950s repressed White male, denial-addled, verbally/emotionally abusive

specimen ever.

[Capt. Obvious]

17. Did he use the term, "race hustlers"?

That's a favorite of his
