The Culture War Rages in the Press
By Bill O'Reilly


Every morning my staff gives me a folder entitled "Bill in the News." It contains articles and TV transcripts that have mentioned my name overnight. Ninety percent of the press is negative.

The same holds true for FOX News in general. Most of the media coverage critical.

So we decided to find out why. If FOX News is the dominant number one rated cable network, and our presentation appeals to millions, why are we hammered in the press? The answer, of course, is ideology.

We can't find one TV critic in the United States of America, not one who isn't a liberal or a registered Democrat. Most are committed liberals, who dislike us for giving conservative and traditional Americans a fair shot.

By the way, if you know of a non-liberal TV critic, please let us know because we always want to be fair and balanced.

1. "We can't find one intelligent and literate person who isn't liberal."

I think that is what the real beef is.

That's my take on his quote anyway.

[Red Zelda]

2. I can't find one brain-dead asshole

who isn't a conservative.

[wryter2000]

3. No, you idiot

You can't find one critic who thinks you're worth the air you use up. That doesn't make them liberal. That makes them sane.

[Initech]

4. He reads newspaper articles about himself? What a tool!

:rofl:

[Buzz Clik]

21. He ONLY reads articles about himself.

[ck4829]

5. Qualifications for being a Conservative

Do you like Bill O'Reilly?

If Yes, then you are a Conservative.

Is that really how Bill O'Really sees the world?

[Virginia Dare]

6. How would he know whether they are registered Democrats?...

has he checked the voter registration rolls for every single TV critic? B.O. is a serial liar, he can't help himself, kind of like his addiction to phone sex with unwilling partners.

[Ellis Wyatt]

12. That was my exact thought

There's no way to know this. It's not like he commissioned a study.

How do people swallow BS assertations like this without immediately calling for him to cite his source? I hate when people do that.

9. "TV Critics" don't typically review your shit propaganda program

they review NEW TV shows. friggin duh, you pompous ass.

the transcript of the Colbert show, where you are regularly mentioned, woudl be laudatory. the sarcasm isn't in the script.

[Kare]

10. I think the problem is...

If you don't like O'lielly (i.e. have a brain) then you must be a liberal.

He's just mad that his "war on Christmas" coverage has not outraged more people.

:nopity: :puke:

[sutz12]

I thought Bill was a TV critic...

Does that make him a liberal? :)

[Bill McBlueState]

11. What if he just plain sucks?

It's called Occam's Razor -- in many cases the simplest explanation is the correct one.

If "ninety percent of the press is negative," the simplest explanation is just that Bill's show sucks.

[louis-t]

18. Your comment reminded of my aunt's response to my Mom.

"You're not getting along with your sisters-in-law, you're not getting along with your own sisters, is there a common element that you can think of...." I laughed for an hour.

[Karmageddon]

13. can't we just ignore this a-hole until he fades away? why bother even paying attention?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

19. I agree,

he warrants no attention.

[tkmorris]

14. The logic is sound, if you accept his premises

In Billo's mind, he believes as follows:

A) I am fair and balanced. By definition this makes me mainstream, middle of the road. Therefore....

B) Anyone to the left of me must be a Liberal.

C) All 'TV critics' (?) that I am aware of are to the left of me.

D) Therefore all TV critics except me are Liberal.

It all makes perfect sense when you realize that Bill operates under the delusion that he isn't a fascist hyper-Christian Conservative asshole. Poor guy. I wonder if he has the same delusions about himself in his personal life? I hope not. He might do something like think all he has to do is talk dirty to the nearest unattached female and she'll just be overcome with his charm and fall into his bed. That sort of thing could lead to disaster, maybe even a lawsuit.

Be careful out there Billo.

[Dastard Stepchild]

17. That was brave...

attempting to wade into his logic like that. :) But I concur. Compared to him, everyone else pretty much takes a seat to the left.

[brooklynite]

15. The issue here isn't liberal TV critics...

...if it were, Fox News, the WSJ, the NY Post etc. could hire one tomorrow.

The real issue is that, the most important issue for Bill O'Reilly to comment on continues to be Bill O'Reilly.

[Uncle Joe]

16. Everyone would seem to be liberal if you are a fascist, it's all relative n/t

[Rex]

20. The implications of why they didn't find one non-liberal escape him

entirely. Not that it is true, we all know Bill can't tell the Truth and stopped hoping a long time ago that he would.

No, the sad truth here is that Bill wrote a worthless story (like always) and the main point went right over his head as he wrote it. Talk about stupid.

Bill, seriously, have someone read what you post first. Pity the little man DUrs. Pray you never become as stupid as Billy O.

[Marr]

22. And what does that say about Mr. "Fair and Balanced"'s political persuasion?

You'd think he'd stop to consider that. If he thinks the world is full of liberals, perhaps it's because he's a fascist.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Did Mr. Dildo ever apologize for being wrong about the weapons of mass

destruction? I think that a solemn national apology to every American should be the next thing out of his mouth.

[LSK]

24. and the hits just keep on coming

Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Joe Scarborough, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Joe Stoessel, Chris Matthews on even numbered days, Tucker Carlson, Tim Russert, George Will, ......

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ladyhawk]

25. I recently learned my mother loves him. :(

The fact that she loves Hannity/Limbaugh/Falwell/Robertson had sunk in, so I was shocked--sad to say--when I learned she loves this buffoon. Sigh. Oh well, I just have to suck it up.

I'm creating a compilation of Stephen Colbert videos, featuring his performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Maybe I should give my mother a copy so she can become an it-getter. There's no danger of her thinking Stephen is serious because my first clip is his 60 Minutes interview where Bill O'Reilly is dissed and called an lying blowhard (basically).

[johnfunk]

26. Looks like Billo's never watched CNN's "Reprehensible Sources" with Howie Kurtz!

You want a conservative shill discuised as a media and TV critic? You need look no farther than Howie Kurtz, media manwhore.

[roamer65]

27. O'Falafel...

LOOFAH...

I can never take O'Lielly seriously.

[PA Democrat]

28. Narcissistic personality disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), a term first used by Heinz Kohut in 1971<1>, is a form of pathological narcissism acknowledged in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980, in the edition known as DSM III-TR. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by extreme focus on oneself, and is a maladaptive, rigid, and persistent condition that may cause significant distress and functional impairment.

Ooh! Check out the diagnostic criteria:

29. Keith Olbermann isn't a registered anything - he doesn't vote -

and he trashes your program, regularly.

Hell, I'd even argue he's not even a liberal - he reports the TRUTH, which just happens to have a liberal bias.
