Shut Up Bill O'Reilly!


The video Outfoxed opened my eyes to a lot of things. I had no idea that this was going on with Fox news. Although, I do not watch the news I will definitely never watch Fox News. The one thing I really hated about the documentary was Bill O'Reilly. His attitude was so arrogant and psycho, he made me furious. He was so rude to the people he was interviewing with, telling them to shut up, turning their mics off, and fading them off screen all because they have different views than him. What really made me angry was the part with Jeremy Glick. He had the right to voice his opinion especially since his own father died in the 9-11 tragedies. If Bill didn't want to hear his opinion then he shouldn't have had him on the show. Not only does he insult people and yell at them, he lies about what they say. Jeremy could barely get his point across to Bill before he was yelled at and cut off. On future episodes of the show Bill made up complete lies about what Jeremy said about the Bush administration. He made Glick look like a conspiracy theorist and that wasn't him at all.


I understand the entertainment factor that Bill brings to the show. People tune in to see how obnoxious he is going to act and how many times he will tell his guests to shut up. For me that is not entertaining but aggravating. I would never be able to watch his show because he would make me so mad and I would feel bad for his guests. Especially since they said that the guests they have come in on the democratic and liberal sides are mousy and not as strong as Bill so they cannot stand up for themselves as much. I think that Fox news and Bill O'Reilly are annoying and wrong and I will never watch their news again!
