The O’Reilly Factor(y of Misinformation)
December 3rd, 2003 Chris Posted in Uncategorized |
“MoveOn’s mere existence drives Fox News fulminator Bill O’Reilly into such fits of rage that he once devoted a segment of his program to attacking the group while refusing to allow its staff on air to answer his charges. On his Sept. 17 show, he said: ‘Now, the MoveOn.org people wanted to come on here, but I can’t have them on because, you know, they’re going to attack Bush. I got to defend Bush.’
“Fair and Balanced” my ass. Fox news is a freaking joke, and don’t get me started on Bill O’Reilly.
He proceeded to rant against MoveOn’s nonprofit status, saying, ‘I don’t know why we’re giving tax-exempt status to propaganda outfits … When you say you’re nonpartisan, as MoveOn.org says it is, and then you’re not, that’s a lie, is it not?’ O’Reilly fails to register comparable outrage at the partisan activities of nonprofits such as the Christian Coalition and Concerned Women for America”
Touche, Bill.
