O’Reilly, Rove claim Economic Crisis is a Media Conspiracy to help Obama

I am so tired of his crap. I know it's terrible, but I wouldn't be sad whatsoever, or feel any human emotion other than joy, if Bill O'Reilly were violently murdered in his sleep.

Because he is poisoning the minds of the gullible Republicans who watch him. Yes, alot of those are old people on their way out, but alot of the South watches him too.

The same people who believe dinosaurs and Jesus existed at the same time.

I've watched the segment on Monday & a couple of times since then. In no way did O'Reilly or Rove claim that the economic situation is good. They fully understand and report on just how bad things are. However they make a valid point in saying that many media outlets only report the bad news and they never put things into perspective (for example unemployment now is at comparable levels during the Clinton administration).

Of course the economic situation is terrible for anyone who recently lost a job. Just like it was bad for anyone who lost a job in 2000 from the dot com bust. However you can't say that we're in a depression just because some people lost their jobs.

Just wait until Jan 20th. All of a sudden on that date, some news outlets (MSNBC) will say that we miraculously recovered from this downturn and will give all of the credit to the Messiah Obama. Start counting the positive stories before his coronation, I mean inauguaration, and the positive stories afterwards. They'll be blaming President Bush throughout Obama's presidency for anything that goes wrong. Just wait & see. It's already happening.

Visanthe-
Thanks for continuing to promote that tired old right wing trope “the media is biased to the left.” What a wet sack of bullshit. The number of lies the MSM has promoted and refused to research for the public good during the previous admin is staggering, absolutely staggering. I am sick of people like you seeing a fucking conspiracy under every rock except the ones that your beloved republicans have sown. Eat shit and read some facts. The economy is bad. It is getting worse. Comparing this economy to the late 90's and early 00's is absurd-like comparing cave dwellers with the height of Roman development. The unemployment rate in the late 90's, early 00's was often below five percent (a figure previously thought to be impossible by economists), last month the economy shed over half a million jobs–these are real numbers, V, not some bullshit I just made up. We are bailing out the rich and watching republicans asking auto workers to take a pay cut before they bail out the big three. Didn't see congress demanding that CITI and Bear-Stearns and AIG execs take a fucking pay cut before Congress allocated $700 billion to give them. Now they ask UAW workers to take a cut (note-they did not ask the executives to take a pay cut) before Repubs will authorize a measly 15 billion bailout? Fuck you and your whiney, self righteous, uninformed and just plain selfish and stupid opinions. Go decompose.

That is so absolutely true. The media is beefing up the economy “crisis” to help Obama. We're not stupid. I know of no one in my circle of friends, colleagues, etc…who are feeling this economic crunch. We are at the best economic place we've ever been in our family and am tired of seeing the media say it's so horrible. The public knows there are spectators who govern wallstreet and such and with the media cowtowing to them they can tell them whatever they want, knowing full well that the driveby's have no mind of their own anymore, they just bend over and say “give me more” to the liberal left. George Bush has sold out the country by giving bailouts to industries and corporations who don't deserve it. He has sold out his party by doing this and not letting the free market do what it needs to do to weed out the bad businesses. I have never been more ashamed of a President than I am of him. Thanks for turning out country over to a socialistic government (democrats) President Bush.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH VISANTHE SHIANCOE. Just wait until January 20th when Obama is sworn into office and all of a sudden the economy is going to miraculously heal with his majestic hand waved over it. HAHAHAHAHAHA You heard it on this website folks. When that happens will you people who love the cowtowed media please admit that the left owns the media and drivebys, except for Fox News, who reports the only fair and balanced news there is out there. At least they cover the news and don't just sing praises all day and night about obama, while smearing any republican they can find. Funny, Stevens from Alaska was already tried and found guilty about accepting gifts and not telling he had them, but Charlie Rangel, who is one of the most crooked people out there, along with Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Harry Reid, can take money, not claim money given, etc…is still in office and the media has nothing to say about him.

Batt; maybe you should read some facts. This economic crisis is the result of democrats. Barney Frank who is head of oversight for Fannie and Freddie said there was no problem just four months before the collapse in housing which caused all this mess. He and the other dems in congress kept butting heads with the republicans in congress who were calling for more oversight and regulation. Bush had nothing to do with this mess. He is now considered as having sold out the republican party because of this bailout mess, but he was not the one who started it. Trust me, if the democrats could have blamed a republican for this economic mess it would be heard far and wide from there lackies, the media, but since it isn't the fault of reps you don't hear a word. Why do democrats have to curse and smear people who relate facts and their opinions. That is all they are known for anymore. If they don't have a valid argument they retort to cursing and cruel smearing. Sad really. THE DEMS ARE THE ONES WHO PUSHED THE BAILOUTS, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

Uhhhh…dinosaurs and God did exist at the same time, God has always been here. Do you not know your history?

O'Reilly is not poisoning the minds of republicans. I would like for you to cite one instance of what he says as not fact. I dare you. One thing you don't seem to realize….republicans research the news they hear, unlike democrats who will not EVER research anything about their candidate for President, their senators, governors, organizations (ACORN), etc…and just take everything from their driveby media sources as gospel. Really kind of pathetic when you think about it.

Yep.

Exactly.

That was supposed to be in response to “contesa”.

Not sure why it didn't thread properly.
