[davew]

surely a truly random sample ->>

The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 1,000 completed interviews conducted Feb. 25-26 among U.S. adults using a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.


I wonder if I could selectively do a poll that have over 80% agree to this ->
Holder and 0bama should be tried for TREASON and given life in prison :eek:

[Dave Schwartz]

Which would account for about 75% of all Republicans. No surprise.

Look at the other side of the aisle. You will probably get similar percentages for the left-wing political storytellers.

(Which, IMHO, are what both sides are: Storytellers.)

[Tom]

The other 65% is free to not watch his TALK show.
What percentage think Brian Williams is trustworthy?

maddog, you are nothing but a troll.

"But now O'Reilly stands exposed of the same kind of puffed-up truth-bending he so regularly derides on his show. O'Reilly said (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/bill-oreilly-brian-williams-falklands-war) he was in "active war zones" in the Falklands in 1982. He wasn't. He said he survived a "combat situation in Argentina." He didn't. He said he "saw nuns get shot in the back of the head." Nope. Not even in the same country (http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/02/25/another-fabrication-oreilly-never-witnessed-the/202667)."

O'Reilly is WORSE than Williams. Time for him to go.

[Clocker]

O'Reilly is WORSE than Williams. Time for him to go.

It is easily done. It just takes one button on your remote. Beyond that, why do you care?

[DJofSD]

He said he survived a "combat situation in Argentina." He didn't.



So I guess that makes him the first dead on-air personality?

[maddog42]

It is easily done. It just takes one button on your remote. Beyond that, why do you care?

O'Reilly has been exposed as the biggest hypocrite of all.

[DJofSD]

It is easily done. It just takes one button on your remote. Beyond that, why do you care?
Just look at the moniker -- mad dog says it all.

[Tom]

O'Reilly has been exposed as the biggest hypocrite of all.

No, that is Williams.
You need to look up the definitions of anchor and talk show host.
You really don't know what you are talking about.
But that never stopped you before. :lol:

Instead of a poll that include people who do not wathc his show, why don't you post his show's RATINGS?

That is the only stat that matters.

[maddog42]

No, that is Williams.

So it is ok for O'reilly to lie because he is a "talk show host". You guys are hilarious.

[Tom]

Ni it is not OK, but there is a HUGE difference between someone lying on a talk show, an entertainment show, and an alleged NEWS ANCHOR.

You are ridiculous.

[Clocker]

So it is ok for O'reilly to lie because he is a "talk show host".

It ain't lying if you believe your own BS. :p

And Bill is way down the list of BSers on TV. Or in politics. Personally, I don't watch him because he is so full of himself. But the fact that he has a TV show that some people watch doesn't make me froth at the mouth.

[maddog42]

"By journalism ethics, Fox should distance itself from its truth-challenged employee. But that's not likely to happen because for Fox and its fans, credibility is established by different means. Having common enemies matters more than factual detail. That's why Fox has left a canyon-wide gap between its standards and those of NBC.

NBC took its tarnished anchor off the air; Fox let O'Reilly use his show to go on the attack. NBC executives began an investigation of Williams; Fox News CEO Roger Ailes (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/23/business/media/bill-oreilly-fox-news-host-fights-back-at-claims-of-exaggerated-stories.html) publicly backed his marquee talent. Williams apologized; O'Reilly threatened journalists (http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/bill-oreilly-threatens-ny-times-reporter-202990.html) writing about him.

NBC tried to make itself better. Fox went to war."

Wednesday night’s show, which went head-to-head with President Obama’s immigration interview on MSNBC, far surpassed the president’s ratings as The Factor drew 3.1 million viewers. The president’s interview, meanwhile, garnered a total of 907,000 viewers, reports Deadline Hollywood.

"By journalism ethics..."

Anybody that thinks that Bill O'Reilly is a journalist is probably giddy with anticipation of the Easter Bunny coming next month.

And probably believes that Al Sharpton is a man of the cloth.

It is too bad you do not hold elected officials to your same high standards.

[FantasticDan]

Anybody that thinks that Bill O'Reilly is a journalist is probably giddy with anticipation of the Easter Bunny coming next month.That's somewhat disingenuous, since before he became a political commentator, O'Reilly was indeed a reporter and journalist for many years.

There's a fine line these days for talking heads who seem to be half "entertainers", and half news media.

Yeah, and Al Sharpton used to be a preacher.

And the fine line exists only for people too ignorant to figure it out. I didn't consider Brian Williams to be a journalist either, although he might have been one early on. I found the whole flap about him to be amusing, not shocking, and I didn't care if he got fired or not.

Williams got fired because he destroyed his image. O'Reilly will not get fired because his image is untarnished in the eyes of his fans.

As you know, he isn't a journalist now, and MD continues to conflate journalists with commentators. That said, I think O'Reilly's a know-nothing, hypocritical* bully.

*I love when he yells at a guest, "do your own research!" Give him 10 minutes and he'll use the phrase, "my staff found..."

That line is crossed by those pretending to be news media, like Candy Crowley, the Pig, and Williams.

O'Reilly is not close to the line.
btw, I do not watch his show. I am not entertained by him.

You guys fail to grasp the significance of the NEWS media lying or slanting the news politically.

I don't watch FOX or NBC news...you don't see me wasting time creating these useless threads. The only one who should really care in any of this is Brian Williams and Bill O'Reilly. Why do you care so much about O'Reilly? Or Brian Williams for that matter?

Who the hell cares this much about millionaire talking heads?

The vast majority of Americans don't have a clue who Bill O'Reilly is or what he does. And don't care. Much to his chagrin. :p

And that poll and the results are statistical garbage. Fifty percent of the respondents said they had not heard of the allegations. That didn't seem to stop them from expressing an opinion on the hypothetical question about what should happen to him "if he lied".

To summarize, in a poll in which 50% of the people were not aware of the facts, a plurality said that if he lied, he should apologize. :D

I may have to stock up on popcorn and start watching O'Reilly. I love cheap sleazy drama. Gee, I wonder if the geniuses at MSNBC are covering this. That should be even more fun than watching O'Reilly spin.

[reckless]

Because Media Matters has Democrats in Congress supporting them full bore.

Also, Democrats are fighting full bore against conservative minded 501-Cs side-by-side with establishment GOP fools.

Everyone on air, in politics, wearing religious garb, and on PA has lied about something. The difference is that some proclaim their trustworthiness for the sake of accumulating power, prestige, and wealth yet lack any vestige of it.

AFAIK, Brian Williams was put on a pedestal by himself and NBC as this virtuous symbol of honesty and integrity. Please find me where anyone, anywhere, anytime did such a thing for Bill O'Reilly.
