“You’re watching Fox News. America’s Top News Source… for White People.”

Bill O’Reilly takes us into the “No Spin Zone” for meaningless interviews of Seymour Hersh and Newt Gingrich. SNL’s O’Reilly spits out almost as many incorrect facts as the real Bill.

    You said "SNL’s O’Reilly spits out almost as many incorrect facts as the real Bill."

    As Olbermann points out, Bill is the best worst there is, hey, he’s da man when it comes to distortion.

    You are correct. Satire can be informative.

    The information related by this video is that Fox News is dedicated to being bigoted apologists for corrupt GOP politicians and for keeping their audience in a perpetual state of economic, social and political fantasy that has been used to hijack the Republican party.

    The quality of O’Reilly’s character speaks for itself.

    2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

    Ricky, sweety, just let me know if you need it made simpler. I’ve worked with children all the way from birth to high school, and though most of my teaching has been with the extremely gifted, I’ve spent some time with learning disabled children too. It’s been a long time since I taught anyone at a remedial level, but I can make it as simple as you need it to be. Seriously, honey, if you need help, just ask.

    Ricky: We rely on comedians for SOME of our news. Sadly, they are more accurate than FOX notNews.

    There once was a big flack named Snotty,
    Whose work was denounced as plain shoddy.
    He’d kiss Gannon’s ass,
    Give his crime lords a pass,
    And then go fix his boss a hot toddy…

    Big Dan # 5 re: Raw Story — Wow, lookin’ good! I’m seeing it everywhere, even in my neighborhood.

    I’m kind of a redneck when it comes to breakfast, so yesterday I went out to my favorite scrambled eggs, meat, and tabasco place – you know, pictures of cowboys, brands hanging on the wall, etc. The guy next (rancher-type) to me was talking about Bush – worst president, idiot and so on – So he looks at me with a challenge in his eyes like I’m going to defend Bush. "Hey, man, I agree with you", I said. Pretty soon, the place was in an uproar and it was mainly a visceral rejection of Bush. The were mad. Music to my ears.

    Just an anecdote, but along with a huge surge of public interest in impeachment locally (far beyond our expectations), indictments, generals speaking out, Lewis Lapham, Carl Bernstein (even the beltway acknowledging the lies) — things are changing rapidly.

    But you know me. I believe the current administration going down in flames is the start, not the end of our work.

    Just last week — A friend of mine couldn’t stand the fact that I could only get one very fuzzy channel on my television (it has bothered him for years), so he got me hooked up to the Dish Network for my birthday – paid the installation and the whole thing for a year. It was embarrassing.

    But now I can watch Bill O’Reilly:-( and Democracy Now 🙂

    ARRY…..I also have been noticing a shift in public opinion from my clients, and they were the ones bringing it up this time instead of me. Three people have said something to me about impeachment and how much they dislike bush in the last two days. They are wondering why there is nothing on TV about impeachment. Can you feel it in the air? With how our government and press are I hope it is just the start and we can get to the bottom or the top about whats really going on. I like to catch SNL just to see if they do put anything out there so people will Think. NUDGE NUDGE, I think comedians can make people think about their surroundings better then probably anybody else and the laughs are just a healthy by-product.

    I’ve noticed Fox is always on at the barber shop, the local eateries, anywhere we go in this area.
    Now that even Fox is admitting to a 33% approval for their administration it will be a breath of fresh air into the sleeping Republicans.

    All we can say is FINALLY !!!!!!

    I love Darrell Hammond – I would put him in the top five, perhaps top three, comedians ever to grace us with his talent on SNL (who is #1? Phil Hartman) – but I don’t know that he did a great job of pulling off O’Reilly. I don’t know that anyone else could have done better, which is perhaps a testament to the slimy untouchability of O’Reilly, but I didn’t think it was a great impersonation. The message certainly resounds though.
