There are some interesting things I've learned recently about FOX news. Unfortunately much of it is far too complicated to even attempt to discuss here and in fact some things can't be discussed here per forum guidelines.
Suffice it to say that FOX is not conservative, nor is it "fair and balanced". They are, as every other major news network, left of center. They just do a better job than most of disguising it. Well let me rephrase that. Not every on air personality at FOX is left of center; some are rather conservative. But at the highest levels of management, the conservative image is more of a marketing strategy. They do have their biases, but they aren't conservative ones. Even Sean Hannity is less a conservative than he is a republican, but even before that he's a self promoting media personality. It's all about ratings and market share. Rupert Murdoch is anything but conservative. FOX does have it's value, if you can seperate the wheat from the chaff. It only shines however when compared to MSNBC and CNN. By the way, I notice here lately that ABC seems to be giving MSNBC a run for it's money in the liberal hypocricy department. Ultimately, all of them are really just tools of the NWO.

Fox started out pretty conservative but they quickly decided the best way to a larger audience was to market to liberals too. So now most of the stuff you see on Fox is so polluted with stupid liberal thinking that no one can get any good information there. If you don't already know the subject Fox News will not explain it for you. The one guy on that network that did explain things and teach actual US history was booted off because the liberals boycotted his sponsors and IMO because O'Smiley was jealous of his success. Beck started out doing a format very similar to his wildly successful radio show and he was gaining audience incredibly fast. He got close to getting as many viewers as Bill so all of a sudden he changes his entire format. The humor was gone. The freedom to discuss what he wanted was gone. And instead he was, IMO, forced to do shows based on history for the most part. And he still was very successful. If he could have combined both history and his radio format he would have knocked Bill out of the cat bird's seat and Bill wouldn't have liked that. If you watch Fox for long you'll know that the first thing Bill cares about is Bill. He would throw a hissy fit if someone at Fox was going to get more viewers than him especially if they did it at 5 pm. Bill is nothing but a joke now. His shows are just repeats of previous shows. He can't get guests because they don't like being ambushed. I really, really wish Fox would can his rear and put someone good in his place. Bring back Beck and put him in that time slot. He could double the ratings IMO. |

I used to watch O'Reily but I agree he is rude and interrupts his guest so he can talk almost all the time.
Ignorance is the real answer to most of the anti-gunners problems. They hate guns because they know nothing about them.

When I see how totally uninformed O'Reilly was on gun control and guns in general, it makes me wonder if some of his other positions are also so very ill informed. I too get upset when he constantly interrupts (under the guise of keeping the guest on track but often just to get his point across). And those that sit in for him are not much better. While O'Reilly is a bit of a bully, some of these elected officials need some bullying or all we get is the "team message". I rate these politicians below used car salesmen!
I'll still watch O'Reilly because he is the only game in town. The same goes for FOX News. While not exactly fair and balanced, the mere fact that the left hates FOX News is enough to know that they are doing something good if not totally conservative (that's what Rush does, total conservative). They are no way far right or even center and certainly not liberal like just about every other major news media. I learned a whole lot from watching Glen Beck. While a bit of a extremist in thinking it is all a conspiracy, he showed the ties between the arms of the left. I did get upset at the constant religious references but that is just who GB is, I guess. I'd like to hear from him exactly why he left FOX. I don't want to hear someone else's opinion. I want the facts from him. I'd watch him on his new channel but he wants money to do it and I am not willing to pay to hear him. LDBennett |

Me and my friends used to watch him but then we realized this guy IS "operation mockingbird" or just plain old "the wizard of oz" Either way I don't watch him anymore. He is compromised, an idiot, or a sell out. I watched the clip you refrence and it only confirms my suspisions he is "mockingbird"
If you don't know what it is; search engine 'operation mockingbird'. You decide. Last edited by Haligan; 07-25-2012 at 04:48 PM.. |

LDBennett,
After reading countless numbers of your posts I've come to the conclusion; YOU know what your talking about. I invite you to listen to the Alex Jones radio show at Infowars.com, it doesn't cost anything to listen to him. O'Reilly ain't the only game in town, my brother. Danny |

What does "a nut in NORWAY shooting 77-1 yr ago" have to do with anything in the USA??
Gun clubs need a 'media day' and invite all media to shoot. So you say "they wont come"--fine make em say NO. Im going to try my club again.. Last edited by langenc; 07-26-2012 at 03:49 PM.. |

Unfortunately I watched that commentary, and O'Reilly showed his ignorance of the topic. A year ago or so he had the fella who started "Oathkeepers" and treated him badly, again showing his ignorance. It's probably hard having adequate material 5 nights a week to captivate an audience, but ignorance is no excuse IMHO!

if you are against some guns, you are against all guns. the point of the 2nd Amendment is to have a civilian force(The Militia) as well armed as the military to insure that the government doesn't try any funny stuff. so unless you want to limit the military to pump, lever, break, and bolt actions and semi-autos, and outlaw the military from having tanks, cannons, and high explosives, then NFA 1934 need to be repealed.

I saw how uninformed and liberal Bill O was when he interviewed Obummer. Then he is totaly uninformed when it comes to the OIL and Gas
industry. Beck was the best they had and a lot of people didn't like it. I used to watch Fox all the time, I don't anymore becaud I can't stand people arguing all the time. Bill O used to have Michelle Malkan guest host and she had higher ratings than he did. She was gone! Beckel and Jauan Williams make me puke!!! Fox either sold out or was trying to pull a fast one on the public. About the only one I like to watch now is Stossel. Rant done. I guess I am dissapointed in them. Beck was the only one that had the baXXs to say what needed to be said. |

Again, what part of Entertainer didn't you understand? Ha Ha - He is difficult to watch at times. I know he says he doesn't want his guest to bloviate, but that's all he does. I wouldn't want to be on his show trying to make a point.

NFA items can be purchased without that much problem, I have an NFA Trust setup to purchase them with. The Trust cost $300 to setup from the Attorney, allows anyone I have listed on the Trust to legally possess them, requires no fingerprints, no background check or CLEO sign off when purchasing an NFA item. Each stamp is still $200 and takes anywhere from 4-6 months for the paperwork to go through the system; mostly because they don't have enough examiners to process it any faster. The hoops consist of filling out a form and sending it to them along with $200. As long as your State Law allows possession of the item you are good to go when your stamp comes back.
