Bill O'Reilly shows more bias in one week than Rather did in 24 years.
If Bill O'Reilly were held to the same standard as real newsmen he'd be doing local news in Salisbury, Maryland on a UHF station....
BTW - Rather's comments were TRUE. O'Reilly's comments are often lies. Rather would never yell at someone he's interviewing. O'Reilly's modus operandi is to yell and attack and call his guests STUPID and he tells them to SHUT UP.
FNC is not a genuine news organization. It is a propaganda wing of the Republican party. |
Unfortunately it is a legitimate news corporation, but one that spins it to the right. I would have to agree with your comment on both sides of the coin...
The same is for politicians in the senate. It can be said that Cheney both was for raising and against raising taxes, etc, etc. The same can be said of Ted Kennedy, of Frist (though his record is not nearly as long), etc, etc.
As to his incredible bias...one sec...let me put on my journalists hat since I do do that.........ARE YOU KIDDING ME. He was hard on both sides of the aisle. He was known as one of THE HARDERST INTERVIEWERES in the media. How DARE you say that he was soft on liberals because of bias! He interviewed fairly, he asked questions fairly, and just because of ONE MISTAKE you label him as a liberal. ONE MISTAKE...how many has olielly made?
