What's your opinion? Isn't it funny that the gun crowd hates Billy O. because he once made some remarks against guns that they didn't like, even though everything else he stands for is in alignment with their beliefs? Or, am I generalizing too much? What do you think?Of all the media entities that have ignored the case of Shawna Forde and her killer Minutemen, the silence at Fox News has been the most egregious and noteworthy -- particularly because Bill O'Reilly is fond of criticizing other news organizations for supposedly "ignoring" stories that he has deemed eminently newsworthy (even if, in fact, they haven't really ignored them at all, or it's in fact a story of dubious veracity).

ReplyDeleteI don't know of anyone, gun fan or gun foe, that is aligned with Bill O'Reilly, his beliefs, or what he stands for. Really, not one. Not even the Fox News devotees in my family. No one takes Bill O'Reilly seriously...except certain "liberals".
"Or, am I generalizing too much? "
It's not generalizing when you make something completely up. You shouldn't take jokes like O'Reilly so seriously.
Is all that talk about his huge following and influence a big spin job then? Isn't he extremely popular? Do you really think based on you wide personal experience that everyone on the right thinks he's a joke?
