Bill O’Reilly Lets Free His NBC Derangement Syndrome

If it’s true that an unexamined life is not worth living, there has to be a whole sub-corollary that an unexamined life is absolutely necessary for FOXNews pundits. Or we can cut the philosophy and just call Bill O’Reilly the most comically hypocritical talking head on the airwaves today. At least, it would be comical if I wasn’t afraid he was about to stroke out. Temper, temper. Obviously, He Who Must Not Be Named has gotten under Billo’s incredibly thin skin. But rather than call him out directly, O’Reilly opts to declare a jihad against the whole of the NBC News Department. Scott McClellan’s revelations in his book that he felt the media was too soft on the White House during the run up to the Iraq invasion has given Bill O’Reilly the ammunition he imagines he needs to target NBC:

O’REILLY: I’ll tell you what, I wouldn’t work, Bernie, and I don’t think you would either—I don’t know about Jane—for any organization like NBC which is in the tank, dishonest, has been dishonest, and doesn’t deserve any credibility. You’re working for them, you’re part of it! You’re part of it!

GOLDBERG: What do you want? You want everyone to quit?

O’REILLY: Yeah! I would! I would!

HALL: Bill, I still think you can differentiate—you never want to hear me say this—I think he will have a tough interview. The Today Show was okay. That’s different from what he’ll hear on MSNBC. I just think there’s a difference there. I know you don’t agree with me.

O’REILLY: You’re wrong. There’s no difference. It’s the same guys running both. There’s no difference, Jane. I know who these people are. You gotta make a decision in life. If FOXNews ever did what NBC News is doing. In 12 years, FOXNews has never told me what to say, how to say it, and never allowed any org…any of us…any of us! to go in the tank and attack one candidate and give the other a pass. That’s what they did at NBC. They allowed Hillary Clinton to get carved up, and they let Obama go. That’s a stain that will never go away.

First of all, Bernie “The 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America” Goldberg cannot be described as “fair” ever from anywhere other than the deepest bowels of BizarroWorld. But for Bill O’Reilly to call being in the tank for one candidate and giving the other a pass “a stain that will never go away,” well, that’s some world-class hypocrisy. Bush-Kerry ring a bell, Bill? And please, spare us the “no one tells me what to say,” we know better than that.

Heather included a later portion of the show where O’Reilly lambastes the major network anchors for saying that they had all gotten calls from White House officials, unhappy with particular coverage. I love the logic Bill employs: it can’t be valid unless Williams, et al., name the officials involved and it can’t be that bad, since Bill O’Reilly never got a call himself. Hmm…I wonder why that is, Bill. Could it be that the White House considered you an ally?

1. If O'Reilly says NBC is bad it must really, really be good!

[johnfunk]

13. What would be really good? Bring back Fairness Doctrine and apply it to cable news...

Within a day, that fat turd Roger Ailes and his patron Rupert Murdock would be forced to air a new series in prime time...

With apologies to the peacock: now that would be must-see TV...

ON EDIT: Is it just me, or does Richard Perle look like he's channeling john Belushi?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. He's lost his mind

KO, take a bow. Your work here is almost done .........

[madmax]

5. LOL I've been thinking about the same thing

KO must be on a mission from God to become the impetus in bringing O'Liely down.

Bless KO!! :bounce: :patriot: :applause: :woohoo:

[Vanje]

3. "Fucking thing SUCKS!!!!!!!" nt

[Disturbed]

4. O'liely calling anyone dishonest is flat out hillarious.

:rofl:

[girl_interrupted]

6. O'Reilly the falafel phone sex guy

[hokies4ever]

8. WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

:rofl:

[tjwash]

7. Heh...that's comedy gold. Someone from fux spews calling another network dishonest.

What's next? Someone from Shell Oil ripping on the pharmaceutical industry for price gouging?

[Vickers]

9. I really hope they are covering the studio cameras with plastic sheets

because his head is REALLY about to explode.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. Dear Billo

You aren't an anchor, you don't do news, you have an hour long liefest each night on the network that perfected In The Tank. Peabody award. I'm an independent! oops lemme get that GOP thingie off my voter registration card. The mean streets of suburbia.

In the immortal words of Voice Deity Jim Ward:

"I've seen Combat, and Rat Patrol, and Twelve O'Clock High"

11. O'Reilly lied at least 75 times in 2004

O'Reilly is also highly dishonest by pretending to be independent when he is a rabid conservative right winger. There was some guy who found O'Reilly attacked left wing people and orgs. hundreds of times a year. The only time he attacked right wing people or orgs was when they were acting 'liberal' on immigration. This was back during the McCain immigration bill.




Also the main reason he hates NBC isn't because of their coverage, it is because Olbermann keeps bringing up the fact that O'Reilly sexually harassed a subordinate.

This is all obvious, but still needs to be repeated.

Its actually a bit scary to think people this misinformed, angry, aggressive and dictatorial make up a reasonable chunk of the GOP. I know there are moderates and libertarians in the GOP, but there are also alot of O'Reillys in there too.


Its also a shame that this is what our media has devolved into. But the internet is replacing traditional media.


PPS: Read the sexual harassment lawsuit. In it you can see him talk about picking up girls when he is in Italy, using a dildo on himself, Thai hookers, giving masturbation advice and telling the woman he was sexually harassing that if anyone told on him 'he'd make them wish they'd never been born'. Why do these family values guys always get caught doing this? THe leader of the KKK in the 1920s was caught raping a woman in a train. They ran on family values & conservative traditions too.

Here is a quote (no idea if it is word for word or memory) of O'Reilly's response to being told by Mackris that his sexual harassment might get him in trouble if a woman went public.

"If any women breathed a word I’d make her pay so dearly that she’ll wish she’d never been born. I’ll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she’ll be destroyed. And besides, she wouldn’t be able to afford the layers I can or endure it financially as long as I can. And nobody would believe her, it’d be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They’d see her as some psycho, someone unstable. Besides, I’d never make the mistake of picking unstable crazy girls like that."

12. Bill O

His meltdown was hilarious. For Mr. no spin zone his mind and
actions were fair and balanced.HAHA           Looks like the
ditto heads are being shut up. It is about time.

[Beaverhausen]

14. Keith must be tired of naming Billo "worst person in the world" by now

[blondeatlast]

15. If only he could "retire" Billow like they do athletes!

:rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Did O'Reilly ever apologize to America over the WMD thing?

I seem to recall that he promised to apologize to the people of the United States if no WMD were found in Iraq. Has that apology ever been made? Or is he still awaiting confirming evidence?
