“Fox News and Bill O’Reilly were the DEATH of the uber liberal written and televised news. God bless him!”
If only that was true. And O’Reilly referred to Free Republic to be a “far right” website.
I guess you haven't been around too many decades. If you had been you would realize that Fox News and Bill O’Reilly WERE the death of uber liberal written and televised news.
Those old networks really DID control the limited media and they really DID decide what was news, how much was to be reported, how much was NOT to be reported, whose names were to be ignored, denigrated, honored, etc.
Those old networks really did rule the world. THAT is why Fox News and Bill O’Reilly were constantly, CONTINUALLY vilified, defamed, reviled, belittled, scorned, insulted, attacked and verbally abused by the major networks:
From Wikipedia:
The Big Three television networks are the three major traditional commercial broadcast television networks in the United States: the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), CBS (formerly known as the Columbia Broadcasting System) and the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Until the 1980s, the Big Three networks dominated American television.
