Argument against Bill O'Reilly?

grammalvsu — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:18:15 -0800

My uncle loves "The O'Reilly Factor" and relies on it for much of his news consumption. He sees Bill O'Reilly as a "straight-shooter". I'm trying to convince him of the folly of his ways. What evidence can I point to? thank you!

Is Scott McCLellan a patriot or a weasel?

Who spins for the White House? As O'Reilly berated Scott McCLellan he made him admit that he wasn't getting talking points from the White House. Who are the "pundits and commentators" who do get these talking points. I've heard Rush Limbaugh, the O'man mentioned Chris Matthews. Who else? Michael Gordon? Roger Ailes?

Is O'Reilly's Safari bookshelf a good substitute for printed computer books? As the walls of shelves in my office close around me, I need to either get rid of a lot of my old books, or stop buying new ones. I like to print things and annotate them, and it looks like O'Reilly doesn't let one print much without additional charges.

Who sponsors "The Factor"?

How can I find out what products and services sponsor "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox? I'm planning to organize a targeted boycott of "The Factor" and need accurate, up-to-date information about what products and services sponsor the show. However, I live in Canada and don't get Fox News and online clips of The Factor don't usually include the commercials. Google turned up an article that lists some sponsors as of January 2007, but I'd like to be able to verify that information and keep tabs on new sponsors and those who drop out.

O'Reilly Parodies.

Have you noticed anyone parodying Bill O'Reilly on TV? Ever Since Stephen Colbert's show premiered, I noticed that he parodied Bill O'Reilly's style on the O'Reilly Factor. I would really be interested in finding out if anyone else (comedian or otherwise) parodies Bill O'Reilly on television. Once I learn who parodies Bill, I'll try to catch a clip of it on TV, internet, or video.
