Fox News Bill O'Reilly Admits His Liberalism and Democrat tilt
Wire Reports/The Spokesman-Review | 9-25-2004 | Unknown

Posted on 09/25/2004 5:41:06 PM PDT by lilylangtree

On Sunday's "60 Minutes" during which he is interviewed by longtime CBS newscaster Mike Wallace, Fox News Commentator Bill O'Reilly comes out with some surprising comments. He says he is pro-gun control, anti-death penalty, for civil unions and for gay adoption, (as a last resort instead of state custody). And he won't necessarily vote for President Bush in November.

I've known (Democratic presidential nominee John) Kerry for 25 years. He's a patriot. I'm listening to what he has to say," O'Reilly says.

All the reasons I watched Fox are ancient history. They chose their path after 2000 election & continued to be same as LSM in most respects.

If Fox wants to be different than the alphabet networks, I have a few suggestions:

1. Replace BO'R with Tony Snow or Jim Angle

2. Dump Greta for Laura Ingram

3. Send Alan Colmes packing and give Hannity his own hour

4. Put Ollie North in Primetime

5. Move Shepherd Smith to late night

6. Replace Whorealdo with Dennis Miller

7. DO MORE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING (without Rita Cosby)

8. Interview 1 guest at a time & lose the shouting matches.

9. DUMP the Peterson/Kobe stories

I could go on and on....

I find myself watching Fox less with each lefty they add to their programs.

That certainly explains why he's had so many missed opportunities to nail liberals like M Moore. I thought he was just a coward. Go figure.

The only good thing about BO is that he likes the Beach Boys :o)

O'Ratherly's survival depends upon the avaliability of methane-he could care less about oxygen.

Some of these people like Greta, Rita, Abrams and others have gone over ghoulish to the point where I am beginning to think they are closet necrophilia nut cases. I mean enough already, I know they cater to a warped audience, but cripes, it gets really weird for people to be that obsessed with hacked up bodies, strangled corpses, rotten cadavers and such.

Funny! And true.

It's your right to watch someone intellectually dishonest and it's our right to point out that BORe is just that, a BORE.

"If he doesn't have any friends, it is because he is a dick, not because he is "fair and balanced".

John"


Actually his not having "friends" is his gimmick playing to the victim class as being picked upon.

He constantly name drops.

Orielly is a complete spin, will say what ever he deems appropriate to keep that light shining upon his face.

Thus far the only thing that he seem really concerned about is how much taxes he has to pay, now that he has "income" he pays, he will get over the tax issue once he becomes properly invested.

There are idealogues on both sides, we have to big enough to admit that. The extreme left is perhaps more extreme than the right. Since we are conservative, we view the extreme left with such disdain since they are the farthest away from our core beliefs. Should OReilly be so extreme, I will be so inclined to be the first petitioning for his removal.

Hey, O'Reilly, get lost!!!!

I'll neer lsiten to that phoney fraud and his goofy "no-spin zone" again - EVER.

Furthermore, I intend to alert all my conservative and Republican friends about this phoney.

What else can you expect from a Longggggg Island boy who worked in the major media before.

No wonder Sean Hannity beats him out.

No spin zone my eye. Anti-gun liberal Democratic creep. Joh Kerry a "PATRIOT"????? The man who met while in uniform with the people killing American boys????
The guy who met with the Sandista commies in Central America?

Who do you think your kidding O'Reilly?????

And she's funny, too! Have you ever heard her nighttime talk show on WABC (NYC metro area)? She and her broadcast crew have so much fun when they're on the air.

Actually, I've never heard her on the radio. Just things I've read from things she's said. Very impressive. I have seen pics, easy on the eyes.

O Reilley is a flip flopping liberal. I posted a rant about him when on one show he said that we must win the war in Iraq no matter what and was all gung ho about it. Four days later after a few big explosions in Iraq he went on his show and said I think this war cannot be won and I wonder what we are doing there.

He is disliked by both sides, his day in the sunshine will be a short lived one. He realizes Rush crushes him on the radio, this is a desperate attempt to pick up more listeners.

BORe just announced that he signed a five year contract with FNC and he's not going anywhere.

Perhaps they can move his show to 1a.m. We can't stand him anymore and there are lots of other credible intellectuals who deserve some airtime.

"Should OReilly be so extreme, I will be so inclined to be the first petitioning for his removal."


His treatment of the Swift Boats Vets was sickening. That was just one of the "extreme" incidents out of his "almighty" mouth.

He's probably not even Irish-Americal. His family name is probably derived from Orifice- We can only speculate as to which orifice.

You have followed his pandering to these street thugs far more closely than have I. But I will tell you that my decision to stop watching him was heavily influenced by his endless cosseting and butt kissing of these hip hop/rap pimps and thugs, few of whom could formulate a declarative English sentence, as if their views on any subject whatsoever were entitled to the most passing consideration. Also, his endless buffoonery and rudeness toward conservative female commentators. The idiot needs be sh*tcanned and replaced by the thoroughly brilliant, brave and beautiful Laura Ingraham.

BORe is using the billclinton dictionary. The one that has variations of the meaning of 'is'. Patriot defined as war criminal, I guess.

She also has a web site:

I like your list, but:

1) replace B.O. with Rush Limbaugh. This moe alone will send Fox raitings through the roof, and restore conervativ faith in Fox.

2) replace Greta with Laura Igraham.

Oh, and I don't give a rat's ass about leftists or anyone else complaining that this would hurt Fox News "fair and balanced" titled, since it fairly balances out the leftist networks.

Plus, I see conservatives as "fair and balanced, while leftists tend to be unfair and imbalanced.

3) replace Shep Smith with Ann Coulter.

4) Give Fred Barnes his own one hour daily show (maybe replace Gibson or someone).

5) Get rid of Juan Williams. The guy's just a big dummy.

Now all of this would make my dream network :o)

Somehow, I get the feeling that you'd feel mighty welcome in Vinagaroon County, Texas!

Judge Bean sends his greetings!

Bad Bill, on the other hand, does not.
