I stayed up and taped the segment on The Oreilly Factor (FOX News), aired on 6-15-2005, about the SMC graduation protest. Oreilly referred to the people protesting/snubbing the Gov. as "morons," and used that word twice. He goes on to refer to them as: "out of control," "rude," unAmerican," "disrespectful." He said, "We don't treat our elected officials with that kind of disrespect." He said, "SMC should be ashamed of itself."
Virtually nothing was shown of the support for Arnold, but I did catch a glimpse of one SMC Instructor applauding the Gov., and I believe one of the faculty sponsors of SMC Republicans standing to her left (no more than a second or two of tape). The camera then panned left to show about 6 or 8 faculty members with their backs turned to the Gov. The camera panned further left to show two women standing behind the Gov. with their backs to him, holding a sign that said, "$180,000.00 buys a lot of books." The Instructor on the left resembled an Instructor whose name I know, but I cannot be sure it was her.
Given Orielly's popularity, a whole lot of people in America saw this segment.
