HOME BILL O'REILLY RUPERT MURDOCH INTO ACTION CONCLUSION

 

 

The Pawn for the Fox News Network

Bill O’Reilly is the host of the Fox News Network  television show, The O'Reilly Factor. Peter Johnson with U.S.A Today reports The O’Reilly Factor is routinely the highest-rated show of the three major U.S. 24-hour cable news channels. The show airs every weekday on the FOX News Channel at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Watching O’ Reilly scream and humiliate is guests may seem amusing but this isn’t a funny little game we are playing. Filling viewers full of hate to reap profit, is a downright dirty tool that could hold dire consequences. This isn’t even journalism. O’Reilly is pumping viewers full of Propaganda. Let me repeat myself PROPANGANDA not journalism designed to influence the opinions and behaviors of large numbers of people.  O’Reilly pumps viewers full of facts he selects carefully that promote the Fox News Network and their conservative agenda. Propaganda can be completely truthful, but that’s not the case with the O Reilly Factor. O’Reilly tells half truths--if the conservatives like it, and the rest are his theories buiding up to: lies, lies, and more lies.

Not only does he lie, he is a Probanganda pumper for every conservative pocket-book friend of his lovely boss Rupurt Murdock: The creator of dangerous new empire known as the Fox News Network. O' Reilly is employing ruthless tools of to promote the conservative agenda: HATE as a tool to divide Republicans and Democrats. OReilly is saying your either with us-- (us being the conservatives) or you will pay.O'Reillys dirty tactics of the Fox News Networks behalf could build into McCarthyism that swept over the U.S. from the late 1940's into the early 1950's where thousands of Americans were accused of being Communists. These Americans lost their jobs, thier careers were destroyed, and some were even imprisoned.

News Corpse, an Internet Chronicle didicated to what they would describe as Media Decay, found a study that itemized seven propaganda devices as defined by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis: Devices O'Reilly uses to belittle liberals and their opinions and theories.

  • Name calling - giving something a bad label to make the audience reject it without examining the evidence.
  • Glittering generalities - the opposite of name calling.
  • Card stacking - the selective use of facts and half-truths.
  • Bandwagon - appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the crowd.
  • Plain folks - an attempt to convince an audience that they, and their ideas, are “of the people”.
  • Transfer - carries over the authority, sanction and prestige of something we respect or dispute to something the speaker would want us to accept.
  • Testimonials - involving a respected (or disrespected) person endorsing or rejecting an idea or person.
    

Lawyer and Author, Jerry Spence, offers a great analysis on O'Reilly's charactor.

And, now we will move on to perhaps the greediest and most powerful of all: Rupert Murdoch.
