Confirms what we already know- Bildo is a rich cocky prick

They let him bluster all he likes, but he steps and fetches.

His whole Faux career is an attempt to overcome his failures at the "real" networks. He claims to have been "a war correspondent" in the Falkland Islands, yeah. Probably on a Brit ship, safe and sound. Oh, but then he says he did all the really hard work of a really big BIG story and expected this would be his big break onto face time on the evening news, but the suits decided this was SO big that a Bigger Face was needed, somebody better known, so they flew Bob SCHIEFFER in to swoop in and swipe the glory and it rankles him to this day.

I used to detest Don sLimus since his hatchet job on CLINTON at the Correspondents Dinner, then when he got booted from MSNBC for racism, on through my honeymoon with Mika Mouse, but midway through Campaign '12 I ditched the Scabs circus and tiptoed back to sLimus and have developed an armslength appreciation. He's got the Western/southern chip on the shoulder, trying to convince the rest of the country and especially Easterners that he's smart. And I totally detest his pal Kinky FRIEDMAN, but he's excellent at targeting big name, especially Eastern elites, buttering them up, setting them up, then when they've totally lowered their guard STRIKING like a snake to puncture the pomposity.

So he did it pricelessly to O'LOOFAH, when O'LOOFAH was basking in his best selling ghost written JFK retread. So sLimus went through the whole massaging process, bootlicking about the best sellerism of all his books, asking about the "new" facts that only O'LOOFAH had discovered in the JFK story, on and on. And O'LOOFAH, whose paranoia really needs massaging to get his guard to go down even a little, finally was a bit blasé, and then finally sLimus STRUCK!1 He was well aware of the old CBS grudge with SCHIEFFER, so totally innocently he said (paraphrasing), "With all the new information in your JFK book, did you ever hear how Bob SCHIEFFER got his start with the network through the JFK assassasination?" There was INSTANT ICE in the air and O'LOOFAH stiffly said, "No." So sLimus innocently recited how SCHIEFFER was a young nobody at the local Dallas station while the assassination events were playing through and answered the phone and it was OSWALD's mother calling to ask for a ride to OSWALD's apartment, and SCHIEFFER *jumped* to his car to go drive her. sLimus innocently listed each detail showcasing how HUGH this reporter's luck was in a HUGH story, all the while knowing O'LOOFAH's grudge was tying knots in ulcerations.

At the end sLimus twisted the knife with a rhetorical question about wasn't that a wonderful story about SCHIEFFER as a reporter? Crickets on O'LOOFAH's end of the phone. Bwah-ha-HAH!!!!!!1

That fucking website keeps refreshing like every 10 seconds and cause my browser to jump around and just now, as I'm typing this, took me away from this post entry area on DU and back to the Salon.com tab to deal with a bad script warning. It just did it again, a second time.

Blocked until I know that it's fixed - there! A third interuption just in the time (a fourth)...aw fuck it!

A fifth interuption before I can even hit the post button!

click-baiting articles.

I thought it amusing that O'Reilly knew the "Jack Mehoffer" incident was from a practical joker, but just had to run with it. It's pointed out that the email came from "Jack Mehoff", but O'Reilly himself decided to change it to "Mehoffer" to defuse the chiding he apparently knew was coming. He could have simply changed the first name to "John" and YouTube would have lost a viral video, but O'Reilly obviously micromanages his ring in the circus over there.

When I argue with right wing friends about Fox, they always go with their "fact" that Fox is fair & balanced and the others are biased to to left. I point out the various corporations that own all the media networks and how no one person actually decides what the content will be on their news programs. Corporations are really not people, and their faceless interests end at the ratings numbers. Viacom, Time Warner, and Disney have no implied political allegiance, they're only concerned with earning a healthy return on their network investments.

On the other hand, Fox News is owned by one man, Rupert Murdoch, who gears news broadcasts on his network to suit his personal political agenda. He appointed Roger Ailes to carry out his command to the most minute detail. This excerpt bears out that argument.

Thanx for posting!
