Did you ever wonder if O'Reilly's entire show is scripted by the GOP?
Just watching I realized that he plays down every bad thing against the * admin and hammers anyone or anything that is anti-*. He is very pro-war and really seems to be pushing a RW agenda and giving it an "average guy" face.

It just seems to be a subtle way to subconciously manipulate the morans watching his show to help strengthen suport for the *ies.

I think that is why they settled the lawsuit so quickly, because the gov't needed him to continue what he does to help keep and manage the base.

Is this too :tinfoilhat: or do you think I have something here?

We may not be seeing the beginning of state-run propaganda, because it's probably always been here!

1. No, because the entire Faux news channel
is scripted by the GOP through Ailes.

5. Just faux news?

What about talk radio, all those op-ed pieces, syndicated not-quite-journalists, or even all the right wing rhetoric that oozes into the "main stream" corporate media.

They all just regurgitate the talking points memo of the day. But who says that neocons are creative?

oops. Typo.

4. No,I've never wondered about that at all. I know it to be the case!
Dildo Reilly is a thin skinned hypocritical shill for the RNC.

6. You need some cocoa and a blankie
Cuz your life is going to get real interesting over the next 4 years. You're just realizing Foxnews is GOP propaganda??? Yikes. Wait until you realize the rest of the media isn't that far from Fox. Cripes, we just got Olbermann in the last 6 months. Before that, nada.

7. HELLO? what about Rush, Hannity, and Coulter?
And here in my (unfortunately) RED home state of Tennessee, there's also Steve Gill and Phil Valentine. I have heard these guys lie so much on the air that it would be unbeliveable if I didn't hear it with my own two ears. These guys are why so many believe that Saddam was involved in 9/11. We've got to neutralize these guys. But, when they're so popular that even when they're convicted on drug charges people still belive them, what can we do?

10. Sex fiends, drug addiction and outright liars on Bush TV and radio.
I call everything Bush TV now, it's the truth. Everything is censored now and when you have these propagandist on our airwaves 24/7 for Bush TV/Radio you have a nation seduced by lies. There's not much we can do other than sit back and watch the empire fall.
