Bill O'Reilly needs to get out more...

But O'Reilly needs to be held accountable for publicly throwing out stereotypes. He's the first to blast someone for doing it, but when others call him for it...ooooh, poor me, I'm being picked on.

 

The "No-Spin Zone" means . . .

YOU can't.

But I can.

 

Nope.
And that's saying something.

 

He's trying to appear more fair than he did, previously . . . in that he tries hard to throw out some temporizing remarks, before tossing out the red meat to his talking-points fan club . . . but the end result remains the same.

Can dish it out.

Can't take it.

A.

Little.

Bit.

 

Batshit. Crazy. Person.

 

It's honestly a tossup: The prejudice is clearly offensive, but the length to which he's simply out of touch with reality clearly makes him unqualified to be the social critic he styles himself as...

 

Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Sean Hannity, Nancy Grace, Bill Mahr

 

None of them ever claimed "if this was the Old West, I'd shoot him," in reference to a detractor. O'Reilly said that about Al Franken.

 

The day BOR doesn't interrupt someone on his show so he can make his lame point is the day I start believing every word he says.

what a tool!

 

No way. O'Loofa takes criticism like a 13-year-old girl with PMS. He's called up columnists at 100,000-200,000 circulation newspapers to bitch about editorials about him. That's why folks like George Clooney and Keith Olbermann constantly make fun of him....they know it gets under his skin.

 

Good grief. I hope most of you are not journalists; otherwise I'm pretty sad about our profession. The genesis of most of these stories on O'Reilly comes from cut-up, out of context quotes from Media Matters. Before you come to a conclusion as to whether he's racist or misguided, at least listen to the full audio. I'm not saying he's not a blowhard at times, but jeez, after this, why would anyone in the national media try to have any sort of honest discussion about race? Impossible.
