I just call it like I see it. You have over generalized; at least you have seen the show. I don't like when my in-laws put Bill down and they have never seen his show. 😄
BTW thanks, I thought bullshit would be censored. It is strange that t*t is censored.

It's his job to know. To know before he speaks. Not onmly is it his job, but it's his responsibility.

A coward? Hardly. It's his rightouss self-esteem that makes you hate him so much. I hardly call anyone who mauls the ass of anyone who looks at him wrong a coward.
Yes he is a coward. He is in a position where he can spout off his bile, and when challanged he acts like a 3 year old or cuts off a mike. He does not maul anyone's ass, he does not meet anyone on nuetral ground. He is a terribly cowardly man.

A fraud? He's been a journalist for over 20 years! He was on the tonight show or something like that.. How is he a fraud?
Journalist in the loosest sense of the term. He worked as lead anchor for "a current affair" for christ's sake. He is a fraud because he distorts the truth for his own agenda. he distorts facts to make himself popular amongst the ignorant and make money. He is a snake oil salesman. He is a fraud.

Actually I believe that the environment is more fragile than some people would have us believe. I spend alot of time in Canada's north where there is very little human interaction with the environment. More and more I see the devastation and problems that people leave in their wake and it would take areas affected thousands of years to rebound from the small scale distruction.I also live just outside of Toronto, a city of 2.5 million. Many days you can see the brown haze of pollution that hangs over the city as a dense smog visible from miles away. It is well known that because of this smog and all the concrete (which affects the ambient temperature of an area relative to it's heating and cooling) that Toronto experiences variences in weather patterns that are unique to a large city.
Now I gave a small scale example of pollution affecting an environment and a larger example. This is happening globally, but people still don't see it happen? Yes the earth experiences trends, but we are throughing in a definite 'fudge factor'.
Definitely have a point there. The thing is that in a long term struggle man vs. nature we will lose.
As for Bill O'Reilly, the main subject of this thread, I've never actually watched his show, but I should probably get around to doing that at some point. From what I gather he is an idiot. I usually only will watch the headlines, weather, sports, Lost, and an occasional Simpsons episode if it's one of the old ones.

Absolutely not. Be straight forward.Typing "bullshit" isn't being straightforward. Ignorant? Yes. Straightforward? Not so much.
If you read the post above you will see that I said it was over generalization. Bullshit is not an insult or ignorance, it is an expression that states a distain for a point of view. When ever you over generalization, you are wrong. 😆

Is this thread just a bash Bill O'Reilly feast? Or is it a thread having to do with how commentators are distorting the global warming controversy. I think the latter would be better than just a bash thread.
it has to do with oreilly saying the the tsunami was caused because of global weather patterns. its about the fact that he's an idiot.
if you can prove that the tsunami was caused by this global pattern of warming, and not by a massive earthquake, then please state the case.

SpellJammer, if you were trying to post as a sock and not get caught, you did a bad job. You have let many tells go but the raising of covservatives vs. liberals and your hate for PVS and me are the big sell.
As for michael moore, yes he distorts the truth the same as O'Rielly. What's your point?

I think that would be a better topic then just bashing. I think a lot of commentators do this kind of thing. Remember the Bush and the National Guard controversy? That commentator got canned.
