Bill O'Reilly : "Dishonesty in the media is almost at a scandalous level!"
:rofl: :rofl:

Yes, this ultimate hypocritical douchebag actually offered up this observation in a (promo) interview for "his" (i.e., ghost-written) new book on the death of Lincoln, this morning on NPR.

1. And nowhere is this more prevalent than at Fux Nooze!
Thank you, Billo, for finally speaking the truth about your employer!

3. I don't know what's funnier, the fact that he's the one making the claim or the fact...
that he turns back at the last moment with the "almost".


It's like turning to your friend and saying, "the graphic sexual content in this movie is almost obscene."

6. I know NPR's been faltering for quite some time, but when I heard them announce this guest I was
blown away. Shameful.

12. Did they call him on this statement or just let it slide?
Once upon a time there were people like Bob Edwards who would probe that statement.

15. can't blame you for that. I have pretty much turned them off period.
your response sure made me chuckle. I could almost see millions across the country flipping it off.

9. Nothing more disgusting than Billo at 6 a.m. AND he's now a
"Historian" because he got a history degree from Marist College. And I'm William Shakespeare since I got a degree in English from BC. Insufferable bastard!

11. Hell, I was stunned when I heard this morning that he had, at one point, taught history
Thankfully he got out of the profession, because he certainly doesn't know his history.

14. Yeah, he taught High School History for one year. That's the extent
of his teaching "experience" and credentials. Nonetheless, he portrays himself to be an Historian, an Economist, a Philosopher or whatever other field he wishes to attack that day, and his public laps it up.

16. Surprised he actually went back to NPR
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 09:41 AM by RZM
Took him a while. Last time he was on with Terry Gross it was a complete debacle. He hung up on her minutes into the interview. NPR's ombudsman actually came kind of close to taking his side in his analysis of that exchange, but if you're such a tough guy Bill, why didn't you stay to argue your points? It made him look like kind of a baby, IMO. Haven't heard this interview - I assume it went a bit better.

18. Same old game: Victimizer playing the victim.
Just like the uber-wealthy Koch vampires and their paid shills in our Congress crying that class-warfare is being waged against THEM!! HA!!

26. Is this the same Bill O'Reilly who categorically declared that Iraq had WMD?
Because he has not apologized yet for being 100% wrong on that one, despite his solemn assurance. That seems kind of, I dunno, dishonest on its face. Its blotchy, bloated face.

30. He should know, and there's no "almost" about it. One of the most Dishonest and Scandalous frauds
on TV and he tries to project his own behavior on "The Media." LOL Someone Raise his taxes and let him Quit as he claimed he would if they were raised. What a buffoon, a goon and an absolute baboon. No offense to baboons. lol, lol.
