Reply #48: Reminds me of O'Reilly...

[ExPatLeftist]

I happened upon that windbag the other night ranting about MSNBC and how horribly unprofessional they are in that there is no clear division between what is news and what is opinion.

Yeah, the king dick on FOX NEWS was complaining about another network's lack of clear division between opinion and fact.

O'Reilly then immediately shifted over to a news "update", which featured, of course, the attractive blonde female newscaster's opinions on the election.

The true irony is that Bill did not see the irony.



Yes, MSNBC has opinion segments, but they are clearly defined as editorials and I have never been unsure there whether I was hearing news or opinion. On the other hand, with some studying of Fox News, that is exactly what is lacking there - any division whatsoever. They jump between opinion and "fact" constantly, and the "relaxed" newspeople even throw their opinions into the middle of a story.... "X happened today, can you believe it? That is just ridiculous." I hear crap like that all the time.

So, in your opinion, what is so incredibly "unprofessional" about voicing an opinion in an editorial segment? It has been done in the news since news began. Please, do tell.
