Ok, so I'm sitting here watching The Factor (yes, it's Masochistic Wednesday, and no, I don't have a Nielsen box), and for the longest time I keep thinking to myself: "this HAS to be a rerun." Why? Because some crazy ass shit happened today at the Holocaust museum in D.C., and yet I'm hearing NO mention of it from Oreilly! On EVERY other station, this is the big story today. Hell, even Fox News' other shows have been covering it (although Beck then proceeded to somehow blame this on the left, because the right is too inclusive to breed such racists. that was just... wow).
Anyway, so here's where it gets phenomenally insulting. At somewhere around the 25-30 minute mark, Oreilly holds a lengthy segment in which... get this... he expresses OUTRAGE at the discrepancy in coverage between the murdered Army recruiter and the murdered abortion doctor. His primary argument - the media's covered is an indicator of how much they care about these respective events. In a nutshell (emphasis on the nut): The MSM covered the abortion doctor more because his death was more meaningful to them - it was the greater loss (you know, being fellow baby killers and all). BUT WAIT.... he hasn't said a God damn thing about the shooting today!!! An outright attack on the Jewish community, which ended in the death of a black man (who the killer was all too happy to target for equally racists reasons), and yet Oreilly says NOTHING. By his own fucking standard, Oreilly's quiescence on this matter should be interpreted as indifference. He didn't cover it, and so according to his own rants, he just doesn't care.
If you get a chance, watch the rerun later tonight (unless you have a Nielsen box, in which case download it from the interwebs). Compared to the coverage that this tragic event has been given - even on his own lame-ass fucked up network - Oreilly's silence on this matter is deafening... and insulting in the extreme. This clown never ceases to amaze me.
P.S. On another note, props to Shep Smith who essentially admitted that there's a considerable amount of overlap between right-wing psycho nut job extremists and... well, the people who watch Fox News.
UPDATE: Point of Clarification, he did MENTION the incident, he just didn't spend more than a minute on it before moving on to gay penguins (seriously).
