That is, according to the blowhard O'Reilly.
So, the blowhard Ted Baxter opens his show with his stupid talking points by ripping into some MSNBC hack and how this hack blamed FOX for their excessive coverage on the Bundy ranch event of a couple weeks ago. Ted then asks if this MSBNC hack was not watching the excessive MSNBC coverage of the Christie Bridgegate event. Ted then says (I'm paraphrasing here) if this guy did his homework he'd have known that MSNBC too was guilty of excessive coverage of the Christie event. So basically, Ted said the guy was irresponsible.
After his talking points, he has a 2 person panel of Mike Gallagher (who BTW, called Bundy a racist) and some lib doofus and all they talked about was how ignorant Bundy was for his remarks yesterday and how they (Ted) felt sorry for the guy.
Not once on this panel did any of these POS's make mention that Bundy's remarks were taken out of context by the NY Slimes and how they edited the video.
Funny thing too is before the show, Teddy B made it a point to tell his audience that his staff does their research and only report on the facts.
The hypocrisy of this blowhard O'Reilly rips this MSNBC hack then turns around and does the same thing.

Someone might want to refresh Bill O’s memory about a thousand times or so. He seems to have completely forgotton holding much the same opinion as Cliven Bundy not so long ago.
Even if someone were able to break through O’Reilly’s bubble and get close enough to him to show him what Bundy really said, and what the context was, O’Reilly is way too arrogant to ever admit to having been wrong. Like Obama, he’ll just double down and use the “It’s so because I say it’s so. End of story” line he uses whenever he’s cornered.
Baxter is am a$$hat looking for a head to perch upon. F*ck him.
Me too.
O’Bloviator (and the others who quit defending Bundy) are running scared of the ‘racist’ label, as applied by the drive-bys and hairless reed, etc.
I sent Bilge a copy of the real Bundy remarks yesterday.
His crack research team must not have reported the real facts to him.
This is one “folk” he won’t ever be looking after again.
He needs to retire to look after his loofah collection.
I haven’t wasted 10 seconds on BOriley since he showed his colors RE: the Swiftees. Watched him every night before that.
I am sorry but Bundy is an idiot. Anyone who in the 21ST century cannot utilize the common sense necessary to not draw race parrallels to something that is not remotely close deserves the blowback. Within 3 weeks the man had many i. His corner over states rights and fed over reach. He then had to take to the mic (might i add on his own) and espouse his personal beliefs that have nothing to do with the issue at hand. If you want to follow someone this ignorant march on. But I wont be following anyone this stupid to use some level of common sense. To do otherwise is a march to another losing election
Who the hell cares what the context was!? For him to be so damn stupid to bring race into a discussion where it didnt belong was the absolute worst thing he could have done. He has lost his audience and quite truthfully maybe the real cause here. Do we even remember what that cause is? Nah we’ve spent days now talking about the dumb comments made by someone seeking a mic. All the while Harry is laughing his arse off.
What these tools don’t understand is, Cliven Bundy is a cowboy. He raises cattle. What’s `worse’ he’s an old cowboy. I’ve got an old story below that might illustrate the point.
Rancher Bundy doesn’t pretend to understand political correctness and more important, he doesn’t care. When he was young I suppose he wanted to wrassle cattle and young women; now that he’s 69 years old, I suspect he just wants to raise cattle, enjoy his family and what’s left of his life and be left the hell alone.
I know how he feels. I saw a show on the Apollo 11 moon landing this afternoon and watched a 39 year old Neil Armstrong boarding the spacecraft.
And I found myself thinking, I haven’t felt this proud and good for I can’t remember how long.
This country has gone off the rails and it’s because of people like O’Reilly in the chattering class, the Democrats and the establishment GOP.
A Wyoming cowboy gets off a plane in L.A., walks into a nearby bar and sits down beside a stunning redhead. He tries to pick her up but she says, “Don`t waste your time. I`m a lesbian.”
“What part of Lesbia are you from?” asks the cowboy.
”You don`t understand, Tex ...
“No ma’am, ah’m not from Texas. Ah’m from Laramie an’ ...
She keeps talking: “See that gorgeous blonde on the other side of the bar?
“Well, I`d love to take her up to my room, strip her naked and make mad passionate love to her!”
“Wow!” says the cowboy, “I`d like to do the same thing.
“I must be a lesbian too!”
Ted Baxter is a success, Neil Armstrong was a cowboy; Harry Reid is a success; Cliven Bundy is a cowboy.
Go Galt. Toellwitemall. Rant over.
Well, when the BLM shows up on your door, or another alphabet agency for your stuff, please feel free to call. Expect the help you gave others in return, but do call. Just so we know. Sorry you can’t see the Forrest for the trees here but that’s your call.
He's only lost those in his audience who are too stupid to understand that what he said wasn't racist, and who don't expect him to be a professional media handler.
I stand for any American, even those whom I consider to not be as much of a masterful genius as I am when it comes to working with the media when the spotlight is turned on.
Years ago, when we first got Fox, I was a fan of this guy --- and in context to what his colleagues at the time were spewing, he was decidedly better.
But time has moved on and this arrogant dim-wit has not grown.
I now avoid his spew, as I have previously avoided the spew of the talking heads of the alphabet nets.
How were his comments taken out of context?
Sorry, been under weather this week and haven’t followed.
My lungs feel like hot sand was poured in em and this headache is atrocious....
Unpolished and inarticulate perhaps - probably not an ignoramus - but even if he were, at least that’s not the same thing as a racist, if only those demonizing him were thoughtful enough to pause and figure it out....
This is a great opportunity to educate anyone talking about Bundy regarding the difference between racism, political incorrectness and 1st amendment rights... Also about fedgov overreaching and media propaganda....
Mr Bundy is a simple man, honest, with a tendency to speak before putting mouth in gear. The "nobody" version of Joe Biden.
The practitioners of twisting words and sophistry are having a field day.
What's new?
He did that to me after 911, when for almost a year he defended islam and muslims as being totally blameless for al Qaeda and the jihadi worldwide terrorist movement.
O'Blowhard finally educated himself and no longer is in that place, but quietly, hoping nobody noticed.
