Media Reform Is Bad? Well, If You're Bill O'Rielly It Is

Last night, the self-proclaimed 'humble correspondant' did a segment on the National Conference On Media Reform. Bill Moyers, as shown i a previous entry here, was in attendance as well as may others who strive to take the partisanship, the fear-mongering, sexism, and racism out of news. So, considering that that is O'Reilly's bread-and-butter, he's really trying to make this conference look like a bunch of crazy, drugged-out hippies running naked around a fire and chanting about how America is nothing but evil.

Segment on The O'Reilly Factor with Juan Williams and Mary Katherine Ham


It's interesting - and WAY too predictable - that O'Reilly constantly chooses Juan Williams when he wants to prove that he is 'kind' to African Americans. I know that I don't speak for all of the caucasians in America simply because I am white. So, why does O'Reilly expect America to believe that Juan speaks for all of the African-American community simply because he is black?

Robert Greenwald ( director of the film Outfoxed and the guy behind the Fox Attacks website ) pointed out early on in the conference that O'Reilly's producers ( slaves willing to sell their soul and clean Bill's ass with a loufa to make it in 'media' ) and informed those in attendance that Fox'News' would try and make the conference into something that it clearly wasn't.



So, the question stands - and not just for Fox - do you think the media in the country isn't informing you but distorting your perceptions?
