On September 19th, 2007 the No Spin Zone’s host Bill O’Reilly made at the very best ignorant comments and at worst racist comments. This was already being talked about but when Media Matters picked it up network news started to report on it. This of course threw Bill O’Reilly into a fit. Does he not realize, when you make comments like “it was no different than any other place” what do you expect people to say. Then to add insult to injury, Bill then goes onto his evening show and says no one complained and it was an attack only by the media. When callers to his show complained. Bill is a paranoid egomaniac.
Of course Bill is not alone. Most FOX News (I use the term news lightly when referring to Fox) reporters and in general all right-wing talk show hosts use the same excuse when their prejudice behaviors and stupidity surface. Here’s a few words to key on when John Gibson, Glen Beck, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity and others insert foot- “I didn’t say that,” I was taken out of context,” “mainstream media is attacking me,” “the smear merchants attacked me,” and the excuses go on. Below is Bill’s original comments because you won’t hear them on his TV show.
I’m also tired of the FOX News “fair and balance” sale job. They have Dick Morris a true Clinton hater, Juan Williams that gets slapped around at every discussion, Kirsten Powers that is as timid as a field mouse and agrees with Michelle Malkin more than not and poor Alan Colmes that is a whipping boy for Hannity and guests. I give Alan credit of late, he has stepped up his game and started giving a little back.
