A blunt guide to Bill O'Reilly, the L. Ron Hubbard of cable news
A Canadian Look at Bill O'Reilly
A blunt guide to the L. Ron Hubbard of cable news

Bill O’Reilly doesn’t like me. Not at all. I’m a socialist, and I have been educated to hate America—for I am every Canadian in Bill O’Reilly’s world. Therefore, what I am about to write is of no consequence.

1. "The former host of Inside Edition was lecturing a Four-Star General...
on the intricacies of foreign policy and the Iraq War." LOL What a great line.

2. The dregs of society
I gave the editorial a cursory glance--no more, as the subject doesn't deserve that much space. Tuned the beast in once and tuned him out the same number of times. He represents the worst of America. What floors me is that any sane person would agree to appear on his show and that he has a following is even scarier.

3. I agree.
I wrote the editorial a while ago, but the site (Counterbias) has been a little low on submissions lately so I decided to finally put it up. I think it's my second article on O'Reilly, and I can assure you that it will be my last.

4. Writing gets it out of your system, doesn't it?
You know I would have congratulated you for writing the piece except that I let my disgust for the twerp over-ride my manners. As I said I certainly did give your editorial a cursory read--the way you laid it out made it easy for me to scoot through it quickly ;-)

8. That was quite an interesting comparison
It'd be interesting to see if O'Jackass decides to go for tax exempt status.

9. One of the better deconstructions of egO'Reilly I've ever seen.
I think the whole reason he hates Canada so much is being called "pompous" in a joking matter by that columnist. His ego is so inflated he takes it as an assault on America.
