Fox News Edits Out Bill O’Reilly Slamming Obama Heckler

By: Jason EasleyJune 15, 2012


Bill O’Reilly slammed heckler Neil Munro and supported Obama for calling him out, but when Fox News posted the video, they cut out O’Reilly’s criticism of the heckler.

Videos from Fox and Mediate @ link~

Fox News just so happened to edit out Bill O’Reilly’s criticism of Neil Munto and Bill-O statement that Obama was correct in calling him out, “Munro was absolutely wrong in interfering with the president’s statement. As Talking Points always says, you must respect the office of the presidency, even if you don’t like the person in it. Mr. Obama was correct in calling Munro out.”

This is par for the course for Fox News. In fact, this isn’t even the first time that they have edited O’Reilly’s statements on his own show. In May 2011, Fox News edited Bill O’Reilly when he made a comment about Shep Smith liking Common during his debate with Jon Stewart. Speaking of Jon Stewart, Fox also edited out his critical comments about the network while appearing on O’Reilly’s show.

This is business as usual for Fox News. Selectively editing video is their stock and trade, but to edit out O’Reilly’s criticism of Tucker Carlson’s conservative website in his Talking Points segment is a new low. The reason why O’Reilly has the highest rated show on cable news is because he portrays the old school rational conservative. Part of his gimmick is to be more reasonable than the rest of his Fox News colleagues, but there is no room for agreement with Obama at Fox News.

Not even Bill O’Reilly is immune to the propaganda machine’s censorship blade. Fox News is not a news network. They are Republican state run television, and this is proof once again that anybody who is watching Fox News, or visiting their website, isn’t getting the news.

Sorry, I can't really give a shit. I don't expect anything better from Fox, and if O'Reilly doesn't have the self-respect to call bullshit, then he can go headfuck himself for all I care.

Don Henley - Dirty Laundry



I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me somethin', somethin' I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around

We got the bubble headed bleach blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's goin' on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry

We can do "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down

O'Reilly is pretty consistent about decorum/manners (despite his own behavior) and Fox is pretty consistent about the anti-Obama message. So there you go.

at a SOTU address and Bill O’Reilly praises the man, then this happens and Bill O’Reilly is critical, one must think Bill O’Reilly needs to seek mental help.

.... Fox is playing to their audience. Their audience doesn't WANT TO HEAR O'Really when he says anything supportive of the president.

That said, I've noticed that businesses with TVs are almost never tuned to Fox around here any more. So that's something.
