The hardline Conservative media has nothing but distain for actual journalists. Fox"News" has less of a credible staff roster than ANY network in America. Their programs consist mainly of Republican talking-points mixed in with accusations of other media outlets being biased. The old adage of 'pot-and-kettle' is getting great mileage when people point out how Fox employees view other journalists.
So, what happens when someone with actual credibility, honesty, and integrity - who happens to work for the network that is most vilified by Fox"News" - dies suddenly?
But don't be fooled by O'Reilly's words. He, like many in the conservative movement, don't care about anyone but themselves. This is one of the defining values of the (neo)conservative belief structure. It values "I" over "we". They are always right while others are always wrong. They never accept responsibility for their actions.
Bill O'Reilly should never be taken seriously. His false portrayal of sympathy and humbleness does nothing but mock the memory of Tim Russert.
You think i'm wrong?
Take a look at O'Reilly's opinion of Russert not too long ago:
LOL @ Bill "I gotta calm down...I gotta get a drink".
