Basically ive been watching Fox News lately and ive been horrified with the way they misinterpret peoples views and distort their facts so obviously on their network. Some of the views that they share are so extreme right wing its unbelievable. I would ignore it if it was a small news agency however the fact that it is the largest news network in the USA is unbelievable! Its worrying to see the influence they have over the USA population. Bill O Reilly no way qualifies to be a news pundit, and he only appeals to his audience by being able to shout over his interviewees and distort their views. Am i the only one who thinks this?
The first clip is Bill O reilly reporting on Norwegian mass killer, using it as a tool of disisiveness.
Second is Bill O reilly attacking a 9 11 victims son on air.
Third is fox news presenter getting owned by Obamas spokesman

Why do you believe all the left-wing news channels as the Gods truth?
Simple supply and demand, I get the impression that the American neo-cons want to hear this sort of spin, however tragic that may seem.

And over here we have the complete left wing opposite called the BBC.


Comparing Fox News to the BBC is just tragic.
The same way the daily mail of this country get away with the crap they sprout, they say what some people want to hear, rather than what the reality is.

I find it hilarious that O'reilly gets away with this non sense also I am laughing at the bit about Anders Brehvik the Christian terrorist. How can Bill O'reilly say that Christian do not commit terrorism ?

What about the Christian Crusaders were they not terrorist what about the treatment of African Americans was that not terrorism ? The fact that they stripped off any sort of identity from these blacks and used -abused them.
Or how about the Native Americans whom they used to call native Indians even though they have no relations with India what so ever.Blimey it seems to me that righting whites do not believe that they can commit any wrong when majority of what is wrong with countries all over the world comes from certain countries and America is on top of that list.

Also is it true Rupert Murdoch owns this news program?


Although I'm no historian I think the Crusades were a response to Muslim (if were judging the factions purely by religious affiliation) aggression?

In the same way Muslims always say "no true Muslim would kill in such a way- Islam is the religion of peace".

Also, do you realise how many civilisations had slavery at some point? Romans, Arabs and Africans themselves? Before you start frothing at the mouth yes I know Britain was involved in the slave trade- but Britain was also one of the first western nations to make slavery illegal.

Not defending Fox News just pointing out flaws in your post.

Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and of course banned-in-the-UK Michael Savage are ace. Check out the last one on YouTube to see how brilliantly bonkers he is.
Papa Bear :adore:
Bill O'Reilly is a Bastard and so was Glenn Beck,Sean hannity and that awful lady Megyn Kelly. What i love is when Jon Stewart ripped fox a new ******* he owned them so badly it was hilarious.

Britain was not the first country to make slavery illegal bub. The Persian empire of old had illegalised slavery as well as many others throughout time.

And the BBC is a shining beacon of impartiality compared to Fox.

He's so entertaining LMAO. Though I agree, he and Fox are so biased!

Hmm true enough. Must be one of those facts that often go unverified. Heard it so many times I thought it was genuine fact.

Yes I did, but you fail to see the left-wing media do nasty things and lies in a more suttle way.

Unfortunately there are a great deal of very stupid people in the world. May of which happen to reside in the USA. (Not calling all Americans stupid)

Because in the US the law is different in regards to what one can say... you can lie and it is fine apparently.

what is this obsession with the daily mail and fox news?

its like certain types just cannot bear differing opinions. i think people who get so worked up about fox news and the daily mail and the sort of people who would have loved working as stasi agents in the soviet union.

in fact, if you people hate diversity of opinion so much why don't you go and move to north korea?
