O'Reilly thinks CNBC hired Howard Dean to placate 'the far-left loons'
Bill O'Reilly doesn't seem to care how much of a self-promoting shill he makes himself appear when he starts talking about cable-network ratings. Because he never makes one of these reports without claiming that Fox is Teh Awesome in the ratings, while MSNBC and CNN are always about to swirl down the toilet.
Rrrrrright. That would explain why Rupert Murdoch just reported a $6.4 billion loss.
But O'Reilly ought to consider it a warning when even Bernie Goldberg, fergawdsake, is telling him that his cockamamie Unified Theory of Media Suckage -- which explains that so many media entities are in trouble financially because they're liberal, of course -- is a load o'crap. Especially when he starts speculating, as he does in this segment, that CNBC hired Howard Dean as a contributor in order to placate MoveOn.org and other "far left loons."
O'Reilly: Well, we have a gentlemen's disagreement on that. The sop to them was, 'Don't hurt us anymore, and we'll put Howard Dean on.' That was the deal.
Well, here's Sam Stein's HuffPo report from which O'Reilly got the story in the first place:
But the decision to bring the recently departed DNC Chair on board, the source says, was finalized well before the current wave of CNBC-angst. So while grassroots groups have sprouted up in recent weeks petitioning the network to make wholesale changes, Dean's hiring can't be viewed as a direct result of public pressure.
"This was in the works long before the Jon Stewart stuff," said the source, "but it will be good for our side to have him on."
Ah, details, details.
Later on the show, Glenn Beck came on and gave O'Reilly a Mickey Mouse cap. That produced the following fitting image:
Last week whilst soaking in a tub of Radox, Pears and Pinaud, I came across an apropos quote for our currect Republican Recession, and the sudden need for bailouts, and failed managers awarding themselves huge bonuses:
"The people's voice is heavy with hatred,
now the curses of the people must be paid,
and now I wait, I listen...
there--there is something breathing
under the night's shroud. (Zeus) takes aim
at the ones who murder many;
the swarthy Furies stalk the man
gone rich beyond all rights--with a twist
of fortune grind him down, dissolve him
into the blurring dead--there is no help.
The reach for power can recoil,
the bolt of (Zeus) can strike you at a glance."
Aeschylus, The Oresteia: Agamemnon, v. 456-88.

Keep thinking we're loons. Fine with me.

and he happens to be pretty entertaining when he speaks
move on now controls nbc??? lol
and if left wing media is falling apart, shouldnt loofa boy be rejoicing?
why does he sound so pissed?
and the only person who smeared a rape victim is the pervert himself
That makes him sound like the rape perpetuator.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
We became fed up with the Conserva-Cram Media a long time ago. This was both television and our regional paper - The Chicago Tribune - perpetually cramming their self-serving CONSERVATIVE SWILL down our throats.
We gave up ALL television over 15 years ago. We gave up daily newspapers about 10 years ago.
It would take radical changes to bring us back to either.

its technology that is destroying the msm....not a lib bias
20 year olds dont read newspapers anymore
and go look at overall tv ratings....they are down across the board...and they keep falling
Thanks to MTV starting that whole reality TV nonsense.
I haven't had cable since MTV was all music.

And all the boob-tube viewers are beginning to have the demographic of old, conservative, and frankly -- stupid.
Let him have these viewers. Really.
With a straight face he congratulated BillO on having the 70 - 90 demographic in his pocket.
He slipped it in in the middle of an ego wanking of Poppa Bear and it went right over O'Reilly's head.
Classic Colbert.
Sacre Bleu !!

The Hallowed Mickey Mouse Cap has been SOILED ..
OMG this is too terrible to bear ..
Democracy is too important to be entrusted to politicians.

As much as I dislike Bernie Goldberg, he did make sense a couple of times last night when he tried to correct BillO's reasoning of why "left-wing" newspapers have folded and when he disagreed with BillO's reasoning why CNBC hired Howard Dean.
Having said that, Goldberg is still a putz, and BillO the Sad Clown is an even bigger putz.
BillO seemed rather perturbed last night, throughout his entire show....more perturbed than usual. I wonder if the UPS thing got under his skin?
It's always a character study in the use of hyperbole.
BillO the Clown: "They are using tactics never seen before!"
Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Hey loofah boy, what is ambush reporting of people on vacation, some kind of mainstream journalism is it?
BillO the Clown: "The media love affair reached its apex last October and November. But now television ratings of MSNBC and CNBC cratering!"
Of course they are Bill, of course they are. I think you meant FUX News, people are tuning out propaganda these days, aint ya heard?
Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia
BillO, the Clown, is totally irrelevant. The mouse ears fit his juvenile persona very well. He's going senile before our very eyes.
This is what we on the left need to do:
Do not split your viewing time between CNN and MSNBC any longer and focus on MSNBC. We as a bloc number 72%. The reichwing yahoos number 28%.
We can essentially knock BillO, the human assclown, off the air.
Our switch from CNN to MSNBC is having the desired effect. That, and boycotting BillO, the Fart Clown's sponsors. UPS has already pulled their ads as of yesterday.
What we 72%ers do is significant so it's time to use that power we indisputably have right now.
DO NOT TUNE INTO CNN FOR THE NEXT WEEK AT ALL. We can make MSNBC #1 by our sheer numbers. It's time to show the Fox News Monopoly that the power is with the people.
Good call Schunka , you rock with this sentiment
;^)
... going to be fitted for a straitjacket?
He's nuts.
billo's obsession with nbc's and zucker and immelt dont add up. the way he gets worked up over it makes me think there is more here than meets the eye. it comes across as so personal, like a vendetta. what did nbc do to bill that makes his blood boil? comon someone help us out here. somebody knows something and we need to hear it.
He can't stand to be questioned. It's his authoritarian personality.
To question him is an affront to his position in society. ( Hey, he's nuts).
Do you play the dobro?
What is your conceptual, continuity?
BillO has on a number of occassions accused the New York Times and others who favor open borders of wanting the Christian white male power structure to disappear and wanting to have a permanent Democratically led government. He is afraid that all of the brown people will overrule this country.
So, yes...BillO is very afraid of any affront to his position in society.
BillO indeed has a vandetta against the entire GE/NBC/MSNBC organization. And that vandetta is primarily because of his hatred of Keith Olbermann. Keith sets the record straight about Faux News, in particular, BillO the Clown. Keith tells the truth about BillO and his bullying tactics, and quite frankly, BillO can't handle the truth!
..that once, Billo said KO name, last name wrong. And now, rather than admit he made a mistake, he never says, KO's name.
If we were talkin' 'bout anybody, any-bod-dee, other than Billo, I'd think a statement like that was bluster. But we're talkin' Billo here, shut yer mouth! Can you dig it?

Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
This clown troll is a vile scumbag that is certain, but I hate the way he is able to generate controversy daily on liberal blogs which only helps to increase his popularity with wingnuts and make cashola for Fux and Murdick. If we really want to hurt his obscene ratings we have to ignore his crap, it's tough I know but it must be done. We're not far left anyway, Socialists are far left and I bet their blogs don't even care what this filthy man has to say.
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein
I was just out grocery shopping, and I saw a box of loofas on sale. I should have picked up about a half a dozen or so and sent them to Mr. Loofa Boy himself.
How can you ignore that type of comedy? Its kind of like slap-stick. You know, when you saw the Marx Bros. dressed up like diplomats in Duck Soup, you knew that it was comedy, you know there would never be politicians that stupid ('ceptin' mebbe W). That's what I think when I hear about the stupid stuff (like his whole show) Billo does; why would I take a comedian like Billo seriously when he spouts stupid stuff and is only capable of spouting stupid stuff. That's me but hey, this is America and there are still a lot of people out there in America who think wrestling is real, the moon landing was faked and the President is a muslim.

to catch part of the segment with that repulsive beck fella while channel surfing. Good god, do people accually take these fucktards seriously? Really? Between blowing each other, the weird faces and the lame attempts at humor.......It's just surreal and seriously wrong. I'm in awe, the bad kind.

are really digging on the whole divide and conquer thing here in America.
In fact, they are overdosing.
They really want us to start killing eachother.
Americans have been dazed and confused for so long now, I wonder how many people even know what's hitting them.
I would like to see what the true statistics are on how many people are really this stupid compared with how many are really just afraid to question what's going on because the Becks and the O'Reillys are scaring the hell out them.
When was Bill-O wrong about anything?
Hey,
Usually Goldberg just sorta lets O'Reilly spew whatever he wants to... but in this segment, I give him some credit. he actually stood up and rejected some of O'Reilly's insane ideas about why newspapers are failing, as well as the right of blogs such as Think Progress to attempt to influence media coverage. He was dead right, they have just as much right to attempt to influence coverage as Newsbusters does.
Maybe Goldberg has seen how far in the toilet O'Reilly is and just doesn't want to get dragged down with him. That said, O'Reilly and Goldberg have been mutual blow jobs for years, so Goldberg's going to end up in the same toilet, anyway.

O'Reilly cannot comprehend how or why NBC would have viewpoints and hosts on their shows that represent opposing viewpoints because he works for Fox, Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, all of which are lockstep in their viewpoints since they are a propaganda outfit.
Please somebody get him some medication.
Bigger ears help him hear himself better, which is really the impetus
behind his blather.
Poor Bill O The Clown... Stuck in clown purgatory somewhere between Krusty and Emmett Kelly..... Send in the clowns.....
Please don't soil the name of Emmett Kelly by comparing this smoking pile of sh*t to him. Kelly was a comic genius with a lot of class.
Even Krusty is a gentleman compared to O'Rielly.

My bad Mike.. sorry.. didnt know you took your clowns so seriously....LOL ^5
You have nothing to apologize for, Col Kilgore, I might have been a little over the top myself. You sir, are a gentleman.
I just felt that comparing O'Rielly, a man that lies profusely to hurt others, to a gentle soul like Emmett Kelly who spent his whole life making people happy was not a fair comparison.

Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
..either MSNBC, et.al., is really powerful and run by the librul-media OR they are about to collapse because of poor management. Which is it Bill? Are you not so sure? Maybe send out more stalkers? Clean the tin-foil hat now and again so the signals keep coming in without so much static. What is Beck doing on his show? Only the chaotic Orally mind wants to know.
Its early in the morning and probably not many people analysing or bloggo-ing or so, I thought I'd have some fun at Billo's expense and hey, I got an e-mail from UPS about them dropping Orally from the list of shows they buy ad space from. Its raining here but Its a Beautiful Day isn't it?

So who gives a shit about any of these networks.
Look at who owns CBS.
Here's an interesting breakdown of just who owns our "free press": (granted this is from 2003 but that makes it all the worse since the Rah, Rah, Go War bullshit was all we ever heard.)
Who owns CNN? or MSNBC? ABC? CBS?
Dean has gone way down in my esteem for signing on with CNBC. As far as I am concerned, the owners, producers and commentators on that network need to be investigated and charged under RICO statutes. They conspired to make huge profits for themselves and for corporations by passing on information to the public which was specifically meant to manipulate markets. It was all a sham for years.
Shame on Howard Dean. There are so many other ways he could have made plenty of money after leaving the DNC.
