O'REILLY: Some Journalists Are Political Activists (Cough)
This dweeb is as obtuse as Bernard GOLDBERG. What time is his meltdown, again? This link is an exercise in his self-satire.

*******QUOTE*******

O'Reilly says some journalists have turned into political activists (NYDN)

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/178194p-154963c.html


.... What I'm not wrong about is that more than a few so-called journalists have turned into activists - people who are dedicating themselves to getting a certain party or person elected and are using their positions in the media to do it. ....

.... But let's face it, with the rise of entertainers like Rush Limbaugh and other radio talk-show people who openly root for the Republicans, those on the left feel they are at a disadvantage. ....

So, you as a news consumer should know American journalism is becoming increasingly partisan, and ideologues on both the right and the left have infiltrated the news business at very high levels.

But remember this: Passionate news analysis is one thing, but abusing the public trust is quite something else.

5. This is too funny!
I wonder if O'Really was able to keep from laughing as he wrote it. There is no way he is dumb enough not to realize he's describing himself and Faux, right?

I am quite sure this is the event O'Reilly is talking about.

Greenfield mentioned it on Imus last week. He said O'Reilly was having a fit about it on his radio show.

7. Wow, Orwell had O'Reichley pegged correctly, didn't he?
And Julius Streicher could not have done a more adept job at projection of his own evil.

9. Scrambling to preserve that No-Spin franchise
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 10:50 AM by charlie
are we, O'Reilly? Must've been painful apologizing for dearth of WMDs in Iraq, huh? Worse, your cheerleading threatened your vaunted impartiality, so what better to do than taking a whack at the other rightwing pumpkinhead who showed you whut's whut in your AM dial foray? Nice going, you weak-kneed freak.

12. He loves telling the most obvious lies he can..



It's a game with him and people like Ann Coulter.

Their whole schtick is to try and get under our skin. They know they are lying and they don't believe their positions.

They take the positions they do because it makes them money.

The Liberals take positions because they believe in them.

O'Reilly has no soul and is an empty vessel whoring himself to the highest bidder.
