From 2 minutes 20 seconds in O'Lielly insists that the entire Fox News lineup is "not overly hostile to President Obama" but blatantly avoids mentioning his buddy Glenn BecKKK's seditionist behavior.

Also, 4 minutes in he starts whinging about Garrett not being the White House's gimp any more.

1. Can't do it

I just can't bear to watch. Faux is annoying as hell even for just a minute or two.

2. No doubt they honestly belive they deserve access to OUR President...

even after their shameful bootlicking (among other things) during the maladministration and ongoing attempts to torpedo this Administration with loaded questions, B.S. and RW conspiracy theories. They just want to keep their viewers stirred up, and the WH is simply not providing the opportunities.

Besides, does Faux employ anyone who's not an embarrassment to the term "journalist"?

4. I think O'Reily skipped Beck cause he doen't like him n/t

[Turborama]

5. I have to beg to differ on that one

Admittedly he doesn't like him and that could be part of the reason, but if he mentioned him and tried to contextualize him like he did with the others it would have totally negated the spin he was weaving.

6. Okay, you win :) n/t

9. Last weekend, at a Farmer's Market in Bisbee, AZ

I got into a discussion with an older fellow (even older than me) who had houses in Tucson and Bisbee and during the conversation told me he had plenty of money...

We were discussing "cap and trade". I told him I didn't like it either, I prefer a carbon tax. He said that climate change was not settled science. I should have smelled a rat...but...

I informed him that nearly all of the world's climate science who weren't bought off by the coal and oil industries agreed about climate change and were mainly arguing over whether it's already too late or whether we have 5 or 10 years to drastically power down.

He asked why he hadn't heard that. I replied, "well, you won't hear it on the MSM." He said, "I don't listen to that." I said, "Well, you won't hear it on NPR either." He said, "I don't listen to that either."

"I only listen to Fox News...", he said.

I quietly and respectfully informed him that "Fox-News" was the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, that Rupert Murdoch (Damn, I should have said Australian Rupert Murdoch) lost hundreds of millions of dollars building that propaganda arm to mislead the public with lies.

He sort of got quiet after that but not hostile. I think no one had actually questioned his delusion before...

11. Wow, good going

I wonder how many others out there could be made to reflect like that if they were told the truth about Faux News. It's extremely frustrating that there's so many gullible people out there who get easily convinced by the smoke and mirrors aimed at the lowest common denominator. We all know the purpose behind Murdoch's Dysneyfication of their 'news' by using fancy graphics & busty blondes, glad to hear your pulling of the curtain had some impact.

14. He's got to be kidding!

Fox News isn't "hostile" towards Obama? The only way that could be true if they go ahead and admit they're hostile to EVERYONE. You have to agree with them for them not to be hostile.

What idiots.

15. Is Faux News so damn insecure that 25% of their news stories involve journalists making fun of...

...their precious network?

Faux News is the bully that runs crying to the principle when they finally get their asses kicked.

Plus the EGO of this network is through the roof!
