(5,953 posts)BECAUSE NBC is is a REAL new outlet that's actually CONCERNED about their credibility.
Fox News, on the other hand, will let O'Reilly stay no matter how many of his stories turn out to be bullshit, BECAUSE they're NOT a real news outlet, and they're NOT concerned about their credibility. They're a propaganda/advertising machine that's only concerned with trashing the Democratic party while selling overpriced gold, survival seeds, and 'freedom canes' to water-headed rubes. Get rid of O'Reilly, and you've undermined their only two objectives.

A little spine-stiffening up and down the Dem ranks would be a good thing.

(25,111 posts)of course fake news is the absolute worst. Reporting news, nada. Creating pure hatred yes. I have no sympathy for O'Reilly. Besides other things, I remember Dr. Tiller.
