[font size=5]Former Fox Host: O’Reilly Is Head of a Right-Wing ‘Cult,’ Not Held to Same Standards[/font]
Former Fox News Watch host Eric Burns ripped his old network and his old colleague Bill O’Reilly on Reliable Sources Sunday morning, likening Fox News’ viewership to a cult and claiming O’Reilly got a pass from his audience for alleged fabrications due to his charismatic authority in right-wing media.
“The people who watch Fox News are cultish,” Burns said. “For many years conservatives were extremely upset in this country because the only newscasts they had to watch were liberal…they never had their own television station. When they got one, their audience loyalty soared.”
“O’Reilly as the head of the cult is not held to the same standards as Brian Williams, who is part of the larger media culture,” Burns said.
Burns said that these and other embellishments had been hiding in plain sight for years, and indeed had been called out by then-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann back when the two were competitors. He said two things had changed: the Williams story had placed O’Reilly’s tales in new context, but more importantly the O’Reilly claims coming under scrutiny involved his days at CBS.
“No one expects much out of O’Reilly as a Fox News host,” Burns said. “But he did this when he was with CBS. It doesn’t matter when he does it with Fox. But when he did it with one of the major networks, the attempt is to make more of a story out of it.”

Which newscast is liberal??? Not even MSNBC is liberal. Geez. All news and political stances have moved to center and far right. That's all we get anymore. When is the last time Noam Chomsky or anyone like him was allowed on TV?
Puhlease.........
