A challenge for all Bush-Haters

[Voice of Truth]

"This man is not a journalist in the traditional sense of the word. If you like him and listen to him, that's fine. But you shouldn't expect him to act like a journalist, and you should keep in mind that he's putting his opinions out there in the best possible light with some cites when he has them, and alot of smokescreens when he doesn't. His standards are lower, and I wouldn't call what he does reporting."

Thank you so much for enlightening me.  You know, you guys sure do like to think I'm an idiot for being a conservative and that's all nice and good, but stuff like this always cracks me.  This, after I said, that I agree, he can be pretty biased sometimes and pulls some ignorant shit in his interviews.  Contrary to popular belief, I'm not a drone of anything, but much like you guys are Discordians and enjoy reading stuff related to it, conservatives actually do enjoy watching news shows or listening to radio shows that talk about things we agree with.  I also really enjoy watching and listening to opposing views because it makes me drive around in my car and yell at my radio; "WHAT THE FUCK!?!  YOU LIBERALS SONS A BITCHES..."  Anyway, O'Reilly is pretty damn conservative except on some social issues, and I'm well aware of that.  He is not a "journalist".  He used to be, but now he does news analysis.  Note the word "analysis" there, so he DOES give his opinions.  It's nice that I have people here to explain to me how his show "really" works.  Thanks, guys.  I don't know what I'd do without you...

As to that interview, I remember that kid talking some shit about the war in Afghanistan really pissing O'Reilly off.  Like I said, I doubt I'd ever be able to find the transcripts, but if I do, I'll look back over them and see what it was.  I have seen O'Reilly tell people they were wrong about shit and that he would do some research on it and let people know the next day and then the next day he makes himself the "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day" for being wrong the day before, so he's not the worst in the world.  He also does interrupt people and isn't the best interviewer in the world, but I like his choice of news pieces and who he tends to go after.  What can I say?  I'm a Conservative, or a "fucking moron" as Gnimbley put it.

The one I still have a problem with is Hannity because he starts out every interview with, "Sir, you voted for Kerry, right?" or "Sir, would you consider yourself a 'liberal'?"  If there is anyone who uses it like it's a bad word, it's him.  He interrupts people 10x as much as O'Reilly and he doesn't even have fair arguments.  People bust out a legitimate point and he'll be like, "I don't know how your liberal mind can live with itself..."  He's a jackass.  I honestly think Combs seems like a good guy, even if I don't agree with his politics.  I can't sit through that show, though, because of Hannity's dumbass.  O'Reilly is intense and occasionally over the top too, but overall, I like his stuff.

I didn't listen to Bush's inaugural speech, but I trust that it probably sounded something like this.

O' Reilly has a thing for loofah sponges and leaving incriminating phone messages. RE: He's a dumbass.

Re: transcripts

I can't access it here at work, but I think I remember seeing the transcript of that OReilly thing at rotten.com.

If you can get past the pics of aborted fetuses & corprophelia, i think there's a news section, and hyperlinks to people's bios.

Could someone check that out for me, please?

Possibly the best part of the site, not just by default because it's a necrophilia fetish website, but because the person who writes it is fucking brilliant

Yeah, but is the transcript there?

Thank you so much for enlightening me.  You know, you guys sure do like to think I'm an idiot for being a conservative and that's all nice and good, but stuff like this always cracks me.

You're so welcome.

He does a good job reporting,

You go around saying stuff like that, you're bound to get a pre-school lesson in journalistic integrity. "He does a good job entertaining" is probably a better phrase.

I used to listen to him almost daily (all we get here is AM, which probably accounts for my conservative listening habits) but after that sex scandal broke even I couldn't listen to him spouting off about moral integrity. Now I mostly listen to Hannity and Ollie North get it on, and every once in a while he has a liberal politician guest and treats them pretty respecfully.

That, and Mark Levin is on all the time, and it's fun to listen to him abuse Hannity's callers after Hannity's over and done with. Cranky old bastard

[Hoshiko]

P.S. eL, I did a quick look for the transcript but didn't see it. I'll keep looking for it.

[Voice of Truth]

Hannity nice to a lib?  I'd have to see it to believe it.  Oliver North is a pretty cool guy.  

Man, O'Reilly doesn't preach about morality.  He's had porn stars for guests before and joked it up with them.  I'm not sure where you got that idea.  He talks shit about people murdering and shit.  I fine that pretty reasonable.  Anyway...
