I do not hold Bill O'Reilly to the same standards as Brian Williams.

[silvershadow]

Bill O'Reilly is an entertainer and opinionist. Brian Williams is a journalist and newscaster. What O'Reilly does is not news, in any way, shape, or form. Despicable, yes, but news, no. Please don't let them twist this up until we are elevating Billo's status. I just told a Republican friend this on FB today.

1. What about the President of the USA lying us into war?

The vast majority of Americans don't seem to know or care about that. It's rarely mentioned in mainstream media. Yet Brian Williams is discussed constantly.

The propaganda is mind boggling.

4. I am not defending Brian Williams. I hope he gets whatever is coming to him. But

I refuse to elevate Billo to the position of news anchor, which he is not. He is an entertainer and opinionist.

8. Only Fox viewers elevate him in any way, so not to worry.

2. Bill is the Top Dog at Fox Lies! His viewers lose trust, Fox loses trust. It is exactly the same, do

not buy into CNN trying to reframe the issue - the issue is loss of trust, not standards of journalism.

One step at a time the media liar factory has to be disassembled, Fox is the natural first target.

6. +1000% there!

Bill-O is conveniently trotted out as serious news-personality when it suits False-Noise and as entertainer the rest of the time. I agree that when his credibility is shattered and debased irreparably then also goes that of the fake organization that cuddles him.

3. No doubt Brian Williams was actually IN a dangerous warzone. O'Reillly outright LIED that he was.

fox the 'for profit' republican internet media doesn't even have any real journalists, they have to affiliate (pay) real journalists and buy AP 'news stories'.

5. Regardless of what you or I think, O'Reilly claims to be a journalist

so I say, take him at his word. And if he thinks he's a journalist, he damn well should be held to the same standard as Brian Williams.

Don't let him hide behind that "entertainer" crap. That's how they all weasel out of lying. Limbaugh has done the same thing.

7. Bill will suffer no consequences. Ever.

Fox has had many "reporters," news readers, talking heads, and T&V personalities who have been caught in out and out lies. Never were they punished. Fox even went to court to secure "permission" to openly lie, because of its self-described entertainment status.

9. You are correct, one was a news anchor, and the other not even close, but

it is fun to watch O' Reilly catching flack he deserves.

[DanTex]

10. That's right, and that's why nothing will happen to O'Reilly.

Nobody expects him to tell the truth. It's as if Kim Kardashian lied about something.

11. Wow! Suprised it has taken this many years to

expose this Fake. If you had read Al Franken's book,you would have figured this out for yourself. There are more things out their yet to surface. This guy is Fake Noise's meal ticket,and Murdoch is not going to let go very easy,especially now that HRC might be running for the White House. Just another piece of the Rethug Game.
