O'Reilley Getting His A** Handed To Him. (1 Viewer)

Pathetic how the Oriley factor edited much of what Maher said, you could even see the edit point.
So not quite a$$ kicking.
Then Letterman "60% of what you say is crap" not quite handing him his a#$ either, but more so of putting ORiely in his place.

Oberman however, now that was handing back Oreilley his a$$ well done. It proves what letterman said quite nicely.
Oreilly is bad but not nearly as pathetic as the fat druggie limbaugh. But it is exactly due to him not being as obvious as limbaugh that ppl actually believe the bullshit that he spews.

Well as evident this election, even with faux news rolling full steam, rove at his top in negative spin, limbaugh flailing his arms to mock Michael J. Fox; seemingly America has had enough of the bullshit spewed by these individuals.
The election showed a complete and total rejection of these idiots.

What was most troubling to me was Fox's attempt to cover up O'Reilly's misrepresentation by doctoring the transcripts, though they corrected their cover-up.

Fox News has corrected its online transcript of the May 30 edition of The O'Reilly Factor to reflect what was actually said. The transcript originally stated that host Bill O'Reilly blamed Americans for committing World War II atrocities at "Normandy" instead of what O'Reilly actually said, which was "Malmédy." During an interview with former NATO supreme commander Wesley Clark, O'Reilly inaccurately referred to a massacre at Malmédy, Belgium, during World War II as one committed by U.S. troops. In fact, at Malmédy, German SS troops massacred Americans. As Media Matters for America noted, the transcripts at both Fox News and Nexis previously indicated that O'Reilly said "Normandy," when it is clear from the video of the program that O'Reilly said "Malmédy."

And yet not a single conservative radio program has filed for bankrupcy. Only Air America.

The relation of this with the topic? Oh I see, no relation, just trying to derail the thread with nonsense spin.
Better luck next time.:lol:

I answered the assertion YOU made, Einstein, so it has complete relation....to YOUR very post. You claim America is tired of what Limbaugh and O'Reilly have to say - that's the silly assertion you made, but their programs are the top 2 national radio programs on the air. Sorry, son, but that's exactly on topic.


There! That should shut your piehole.
Better luck next time.

hey CA, dude was talking about most people. and you're talking about viewers and listeners! those are two different things, obviously.

in April/May 2006, the Pew Research Center asked this question, "How often do you watch 'The O'Reilly Factor' with Bill O'Reilly?" the results were: Regularly - 9%; Sometimes - 18; Hardly ever - 11; Never - 61

the same poll also asked this question, "How often do you listen to Rush Limbaugh's radio show?" the results were: Regularly - 5%; Sometimes - 10; Hardly ever - 9; Never - 76

Gallup Poll, November 2003. Question: "How has Rush Limbaugh's recent involvement with drugs affected your view of him--you respected Rush Limbaugh and still do, you used to respect him, but now do not, or you never respected Rush Limbaugh and still don't?" Results: Respected and still do - 26%; Used to respect, but now do not - 8; Never respected, still don't - 52; Didn't before but do now (vol.) - 1; No opinion - 13

Another Gallup Poll, Nov 2003. Question: "Next, we'd like to get your overall opinion of some talk show hosts, political commentators, and authors. As I read each name, please say if you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of these people--or if you have never heard of them.) How about...Rush Limbaugh?" Results: Favorable - 34%; Unfavorable - 51; Never heard of - 9; No opinion - 6

Pretty fuzzy math, considering they are the two top nationally syndicated programs in the country.

Again, you're talking about viewers and listeners. I am speaking about the whole country. jfuh was talking about the whole country. therefore, your "point" is irrelevant. this thread is turning into "currentaffairs getting his *** handed to him."

answer me these riddles three! let's unfuzz your math. how many people tune in to those shows each week? how many people live in this country? how many people never watch O'Reilly or have never respected Limbaugh?

Nope, sorry. Maybe you are talking about the "whole country" but jfuh wasn't. Let's review what jfuh was spewing, shall we? He claimed that America was tired of what Limbaugh and O'Reilly was offering. He brought up these broadcasters, not me. In order to grow tired of their messages, one has to "listen" to the programs. Here's your *** back. :2wave:
 
America isn't the whole country? :confused:

It's obvious as to why you are dodging my questions.

The only dodging here is the avoidance of what jfuh said. He said America is tired of what Limbaugh and O'Reilly are selling. With listenership in the millions, it's obvious that people are buying it. Maybe you have an answer as to why Air America took their toys and went home? :lol:

Yep, millions. if you were informed, you'd have said that it's obvious that about 5 to 9 % are buying it. only 5 to 9% of America is still in the millions. so you state only "millions" to make it sound like a lot.

I'll gladly answer your questions. Liberals don't listen to talk radio. I've heard Air America and I thought it was pretty knuckleheaded.

Correction. Not enough people listened to it, regardless of their party affiliation. Many liberals listen to Limbaugh and O'Reilly - they call in daily to debate the issues. They're listening to talk radio.

:rofl You said Limbaugh has liberals on his show. That's hilarious! His show is a masterbatory exercise in ego stroking.

Piehole? didn't know you had such an obsession with my a$$, but sorry I don't swing that way.
I made the assertion that America was sick and tired with partisan slander like that given by Oreilley and Limbaugh which is why the GOP led by Rove caompaigning lost so miserablly. Learn to read ca.

And yet, they have the two top rated national radio shows....which you keep failing to address.

I haven't heard him in years. I used to sleep with the radio on, his show would be on when I woke up. If you think that helped his show, more power to ya. I grew bored of his BS. He couldn't handle a logical debate.

I know he worries about how to win your listenership. He worries all the way to the bank!

So do crack dealers, what's your point?
