By: Jason EasleyJune 15, 2012
Bill OReilly slammed heckler Neil Munro and supported Obama for calling him out, but when Fox News posted the video, they cut out OReillys criticism of the heckler.
Videos from Fox and Mediate @ link~
Fox News just so happened to edit out Bill OReillys criticism of Neil Munto and Bill-O statement that Obama was correct in calling him out, Munro was absolutely wrong in interfering with the presidents statement. As Talking Points always says, you must respect the office of the presidency, even if you dont 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 isnt even the first time that they have edited OReillys statements on his own show. In May 2011, Fox News edited Bill OReilly 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 OReillys show.
This is business as usual for Fox News. Selectively editing video is their stock and trade, but to edit out OReillys criticism of Tucker Carlsons conservative website in his Talking Points segment is a new low. The reason why OReilly 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 OReilly is immune to the propaganda machines 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, isnt getting the news.

(8,556 posts)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.

(28,762 posts)at a SOTU address and Bill OReilly praises the man, then this happens and Bill OReilly is critical, one must think Bill OReilly needs to seek mental help.

(28,552 posts).... 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.
