As if there were going to actually be someone in the media that would be truthful. That would not be concerned with keeping his job, getting pay raises, etc.
It was said a LONG LONG TIME AGO, by a retiring newspaper man, before many of us were even born, that anyone that believed that ANYTHING in the news media that was released to the public, was pure unadulterated truth, was in for a shock.
O'Reilly, and any other news figure, is a human being. They need money to survive, the more the better. They are not there FOR THE TRUTH, as they rarely are even allowed to tell the truth. Most of the time they are not given the truth, and they know it is not true.
THEY ARE THERE TO MAKE A LIVING. Whatever it takes. Ask Geraldo.
Faultering in your eyes does not bother O'Reilly one bit. Faultering in the ratings does. That's all that counts to them. When it is all you are measured by, you come to respond to it and it only.
