Why is everybody pickin on O'Reilly?
January 21st 2007 12:06
It seems that all of online America is anti O'Reilly. Okay, Im just a naive Australian boy from working class Fairfield, west of metropolitan Sydney, but I gotta admit to being perplexed to the war on Bill.
Every chance I get I turn on Fox News at 10am or 12pm to watch the O'reilly Factor, and what I see is a Patriot and defender of the basic rights of all Americans. It's a great show and it makes for a change from the usual anti U.S. sentiment that is screened on every other worldwide news service.
I got particular joy out of seeing Bill O'Reilly rubbing shoulders with American troops in Iraq recently where we actually got to here from some of the people on the ground. These guys and girls didn't paint the same bleak picture as everyone on the other side of the world did. Cudos to Bill O'Reilly, here was a man who had the support of the grittiest Americans around.
And so why is it that I read condemnation all over the internet for Bill O'Reilly? I've got two theories: It's easy for the spineless to make anonymous attacks over the internet (this is a line of thought which I scooped from Bill's most recent book Culture Warrior).
Or maybe the right who are more traditionalist minded simply haven't come to grips with the internet in the same vast numbers as the extreme left.
I wish you all a great Super Bowl week. Hopefully there are no wardrobe malfunctions and C'mon the Patriots.
NOTE: At the time of writing New England and the Colts hadn't played, but Im anticipating Brady will take the Patriots all the way again.
