This whole rant becomes a lot funnier when you know that according to Keith Olbermann, the O'Reilly producers tried to bully Scott M. by saying if he didn't come on the Factor FIRST, he couldn't come at all.

But since they were very late in asking this, many interviews were already lined up and Scott and his publishers were not going to push them aside to placate Bill-o.

So Scott refused and went on Keith O first and told Bill-o to shove it. Keith's lengthy interview got 26 rating points higher than bill-o's show for the night.

So bill's self righteous rant is more about his bruised ego and fear of losing rating dominance to his arch enemy, Keith O.

I hope someday bill-o blows a blood vein live on the air. Blood will come squirting out his ears. Now THAT would draw some ratings!

This man's hatred of Keith Olberman is pathological.

That is the fourth time this clip or some "remix" of it has been on alternet.

Can we grow up and stop posting it already? O'Reilly says more than enough to discredit himself thousands of times over, so can we stop playing this clip over and over like jr. high school kids?

I really never saw republican show hosts as the crybabies that they are till they reacted to Scott's book. This book has more killer instinct then I've seen democrats muster.

Look, we all know BillO is the Sultan of Smarm, so it is wonderful to see his hypocrisy in all its splendour.

This video clip is a keeper!

It will prove for the ages just where and when the US Media really lost its way.

Criminal Conspiracy and Complicity to Commit Treason Charges!
Posted by: Bearzerker on Jun 2, 2008 8:51 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Bill O'lie-ly be dammed... BOYCOTT FOX NEWS CORP

I would like to see criminal conspiracy and complicity to commit treason charges
leveled at all the top executives of all Corporate controlled MSM news outlets,
and be taken immediately!

Why?... because they took pages directly from Joseph Goebbels play book;
1.)by assisting in the subversion of truth, in order to lead us into war.
2.)support in diverting TRILLIONS of taxpayers dollars and by profiting in this action.
3.)by supporting GRAFT, GREED & CORRUPTION
3.)material and emotional support of illegal detention and torture, plus condoning these activities including against their own [eg. competitors reporters photographers etc.]
4.)and by providing material and logistical Intelligence and Support contrary to existing conventions knowing that this will effect future war correspondents ability to perform their duties.

and all this was done for one reason... for the bottom line! ...PROFIT!...

But what really pisses me off is,
how the corporate executives running this dog and pony show made it look so ...[sl]easy...
SOMETHING/ANYTHING... MUST BE DONE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Joseph Goebbels' Quotes;

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The
lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

"It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion."

"During a war, news should be given out for instruction rather than information."

"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We must ensure a quality control mechanism to
eliminate Propaganda emanating from government agencies.

This can easily be done by revoking broadcasting rights to broadcast News information. News should never be infotainment trivalised for the bottom line, news reporting is a serious business and should be classified as such by being a privilege to broadcast... that being by issuing licenses that is separate from their regular broadcast licenses!

Simply put... a broadcast license fee structure should be reviewed yearly and with bottom line penalties for corporate structures that do not have regulated news coverage, rewarding those that do have licensed news reporting by being exempt from the yearly somberquete.

News licensing guidelines must be enforced to ensure non-governmental interference in the future, their-fore the licensing body MUST BE non-political.
[Don't need a repeat of Colin Powell's son issuing broadcast licenses now do we, never forget that]
To much damage has been brought through the corporate streamlining of news and information sources to our societies detriment, action is needed now.
Crimes have been perpetrated by and through this medium, and the sheeple "DO" care!

to all the Patrick Fitzgerald's out there... where are you?
now... right NOW... is your time!
