O'Reilly To Reporters: Americans 'Hate You'
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/22/oreilly-to-reporters-americans-hate-you/

O’Reilly to reporters: Americans ‘hate you.’“Bill O’Reilly said newspapers have a dismal future and also criticized a writer in the audience during a speech Friday at the National Society of Newspaper Columnists (NSNC) conference.”

“Newspapers are dying, and there are two reasons why,” said the Fox News host and Creators Syndicate newspaper columnist. “One reason is the Internet. The other is ideology.”

O’Reilly contended that many newspapers are losing circulation because they’ve allowed the “liberal” ideology of their editorial pages to “bleed into news coverage” — despite, he said, there being a greater number of “traditional conservatives” than liberals in the American population.

The result? “Audiences are estranged from most major newspapers,” O’Reilly told the columnist attendees. “They hate you. When someone hates you, they’re not going to give you your money.”

2. He talks like an adolescent with all this hate talk. Seriously, the last time I
said I hated someone was when I was in middle school.

4. Well if this is true....
...about people turning away from newspapers because of ideology. Then why aren't rich conservative entrepreneurs coming in to the market to create newspapers to fill the void for this "greater number of traditional conservatives???"

What? Can't these "traditional conservatives" read????

:shrug:
