"Mother Jones" is your source?

Interesting. Not many comments from the fox news crowd. Given all the comments people had about Brian Williams. Where's the O'Reilly cartoons?
-
Because oriley is on fox and a right winger, he's considered tuff and beyond reproach on the subject of war.

Buenos Aires was a wild place back in the early 80s

Only liberals watch Fox News. Hope this helps. Reilly is a cable talk show host like Sharpton. Not a big three anchor

So that excuses him lying. Because no one watches him. Got it. I thought I read somewhere that fox news was the most watched news channel or something.RaceBannon said:Only liberals watch Fox News. Hope this helps. Reilly is a cable talk show host like Sharpton. Not a big three anchor
You've said some stupid shit, but this one takes the cake. -
HOLD on a second, are you trying to say someone said something on a cable news channel claimed a story that wasn't true and sensationalized. That's just not possible.

Did I excuse him for lying? Can I get a link on that? I didn't read the article and I don't watch his show. I didn't say no one watches him I said only liberals watch him.2001400ex said:

Most salient point made. Not sure why it is so hard to understand the difference between opinion and hard news. Big and obvious difference, but this generation doesn't seem to understand that. Most get their "news" from comedy central. We are so fucked.RaceBannon said:Only liberals watch Fox News. Hope this helps. Reilly is a cable talk show host like Sharpton. Not a big three anchor

Read your original post. You state that he is on cable news so his lie doesnt matter.RaceBannon said:

Keep making excuses for O'Reilly. It's OK for you side to lie. Just admit it.Southerndawg said:

Williams was relied on as the reputable face of an entire network to be trustworthy as he delivered facts to the audience.
O'Reilly is an entertainer, whose goal is to inspire controversy and ratings.
If you can't see there's a difference, please go to Iraq and defame ISIS. -
He didn't lie....he was in Buenos Aires during the Falkland conflict

Making excuses. A lie is a lie. Both are faces of a news network. The Tag line for fox news is "the most trusted news network", " we report, you decide ", " fair and balanced ".Blackie said:Williams was relied on as the reputable face of an entire network to be trustworthy as he delivered facts to the audience.

It's called a tagline jackass. Foxnews is the right winged MSNBC. Those who don't realize that, life can't help them.2001400ex said:

I didn't look into it, but I really don't care. O'Reilly has an agenda, just like Hannity, Oberman, Maddow, etc. Their shows our heavily opinion based, and are often scewed or eggagerated to fit an agenda. Brian Williams position isn't supposed to be opinion based or have an agenda. His fabrications and eggagerated stories created an agenda, and thus undermined the legitimacy of his show and network. His action skewed the show to a Foxnews or MSNBC impression. That is a very big problem, as a lot of viewers watched that show to avoid the biased crap.
Fabrication and extreme eggageration is wrong. But you expect it on one side over the other. If you can't understand the difference between the two, then I don't know what to tell you. -
The difference is I used to trust Williams. I never trusted O'Reilly.
I'd guess that the average American feels the same.

cable news
network news -

The problem is, people watch O'Reilly and MSNBC and believe that shit. Opinion or not, both are news that people trust. Here's the difference with me, I don't trust any news. I research myself and look at multiple sources before I make my judgment. The average person in America doesn't, they believe what they see on TV or read on the interwebs.greenblood said:
