Why O'Reilly is a bad journalist

BtW, click for a larger view......That's what I think of the white house and how they get the television stations to release that fake crap...

You bumped a two-year old thread to post a picture whose link doesn't even work?

A Viking Yeti bumped it, and I expect all of the old links, images, and videos to no longer work. I personally have no problem with bumping this thread if a user has something relevant to say.

 

[Ondskan]

lol.

Usually when I ( a communist one could say ) says "look at the us, they burned hundreds of thoulsands people in Vietnam" they say to me: hah, that's nothing compared to Stalin.

I have to deal with that, not the people who are against communism.


Anyway, ya Bill is awesome. I watch his comedy show atleast once a week.
Almost as good as the Daily Show or the Colbert Report but there just to much Bullsh*t that it drags the score down a bit.

 

[Berzerker]

Bill O'Reilly - defender of the faith, champion of Christmas - thought Revelation was written, what, 5,000 years ago?

So thats why O'Reilly avoids debates about "his" religion, he'd be exposed as a fraud. At least Limbaugh admitted the reason he avoids religious debates is because he doesn't know enough about the Bible - the foundation of "his" religion.

 

[Ondskan]

Ann Coulter (invade their countries, kill their leaders, convert them to christianity) wouldn't be invited if people on Fox had read and respected this clause: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."



Let's look at who Jesus says our neighbor is: You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. (Matthew 5:43)



Soon someone will come here and write: So in a free country/media we can't invite those with opposing viewpoints?

Not if you are inviting them once a week or more, smiling to them and agreeing with them and at the same time calling yourself something that is fundamentaly wrong in that guests eyes. That would make you a hypocrit.

 

[Berzerker]

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

its amazing how many Christians think Jesus came to fulfill the OT laws they've decided they like when he clearly said this is the law he came to fulfill.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Hehe... *blushes* Didn't notice the date. Got too caught up reading the thread. Sorry.

 

[MobBoss]

its amazing how many Christians think Jesus came to fulfill the OT laws they've decided they like when he clearly said this is the law he came to fulfill.

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

 

[Berzerker]

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

 

[Berzerker]

no...NO...Jesus came to fulfill a ban on eating shellfish

 

[MobBoss]

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Please note that the part you highlighted does in no way indicate a replacement, but that the law of the prophets is worthless without the two commandments that Jesus just gave. In other words, the Law of the prophets is summed up in these two precepts.

no...NO...Jesus came to fulfill a ban on eating shellfish

You mock that which you dont comprehend. Fairly typical.

 

[Ondskan]

Touché Mob. Fairly typical for you and Fox News



Again dodging the whole thing tho.
So you agree with ann coulter and disagree with the statement made by Jesus Christ?

 

[MobBoss]

Touché Mob. Fairly typical for you and Fox News



Again dodging the whole thing tho.
So you agree with ann coulter and disagree with the statement made by Jesus Christ?

Which quotes by either are you referring to? But where I might disagree with Ann Coulter, I would never disagree with Jesus. I might disagree with your interpretation of what Jesus is actually saying though.

 

[Ondskan]

Ann coulter: Invade them, kill them, convert them (forcefully?).

Jesus: Love thy neighbour. Love your enemies and pray for those that persecute you.

Now we are all human and can't really reach that level...well most of us.
But you seem to agree with Fox and Bill, despite them (mostly Fox as a whole) bringing in Ann coulter (alot, with a friendly smile and many of them agree with her and some are even her personal friends).

So you either must agree with Fox news and thus Ann Coulter and her viewpoints (at least some of them, which all are quite horrible) or agree with Christ. You can't keep watching a hypocritical newschannel as a source of information and say that you do not agree with thier policy and their hypocricy though.

 

[Berzerker]

Please note that the part you highlighted does in no way indicate a replacement, but that the law of the prophets is worthless without the two commandments that Jesus just gave. In other words, the Law of the prophets is summed up in these two precepts.

So did Jesus say he would return to fulfill a ban on eating shell fish? Is that what he really meant? And if the 2 commandments summarize the Law how can it be worthless without the commandments?

You mock that which you dont comprehend. Fairly typical.

I comprehend you quite well, and Jesus did not say he was fulfilling every law or practice found in the Old Testament. Otherwise he wouldn't be criticizing laws, like divorce laws started under Moses.

 

[Berzerker]

I would never disagree with Jesus. I might disagree with your interpretation of what Jesus is actually saying though.

Thats funny, when I showed what Jesus said and did to defend an adulteress, you offered illogical theories to turn Jesus into a supporter of punishing adulterers. You even said Jesus wanted them to stone her to death after taking her to a judge, except he didn't say anything about taking her to a judge. So it aint my interpretation you're disagree with, you disagree with what Jesus said and did.

Do you support and endorse public prayer? What did Jesus say?

 

[Ondskan]

He never discouraged it tho in Mob's defense. (Public prayer).

 

[Berzerker]

I dont know what MobBoss says about public prayer so he may not need a defense but Jesus told his followers to not pray in the streets and synagogues because that is what the hypocrites do.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

To the Bible quotation...

'The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.' -Luke 12:46-48

I don't appreciate the idea that a drunken slave should be beaten, and am even less approving of the idea that by beating him, he is placed among the 'unbelievers'. Why are the nonbelievers in the position of the drunken abusive slave in the first place? Regardless, I don't hold much value toward Bible quotes, so I'd rather see this thread on topic, rather than deviating to an atheist vs. monotheist flame-fest. (Oh, and I do realize the irony behind helping derail the thread and then discouraging it, so don't bother pointing it out. I just couldn't help myself.)

 

[Fox Mccloud]

Adding more fuel to the fire.

Huge "error" repeatedly shows up on O'Reilly's show. It's impossible to know if this was just a mistake on their part, or an amazingly stupid lie.

This one is really funny.

Not biased to you at all, eh? You lambast and ridicule Bill O'Reilly and others for their bias, yet when in actually backing up these opinions, the sources you use have their bias written, often on the front page for all to see.

You seek in your faux pas authoritarian liberalism of self righteous hypocricies of fairness, balance and objectivity in news reporting, and the right to free opinion editorials only so long as those expressing opinions buttress your point of view of what is and is not righteous, fairness in conformity with your world view. Anyone expressing a dissenting view that is in any way different from yours is to be silenced and shouted down with left-wing propaganda that is often far more biased then what you accuse others of being.

Besides Crooks and liars, Keith Olbermann, a man who has built his career on insulting, ridiculing and creating a mantra of propaganda against those who are at most, just as atrocious and terrible as he is, also is cited as "evidence" for the bias in Fox News reporting and Bill O'Reilly reality distortions.

Yet, no matter however you would want to spin it, Keith Olbermann is on the far left fringe of authoritarian liberalism which seeks to silence that which is not agreeable to him, like his twin silent obfuscator of truth Phlegmak who once fallaciously protested to me that he is independent and perhaps believes that he is even moderate. If so, then so too would be Bill O'Reilly, in fact.

You are among those that you say you are not, which ridicules and attempts to shout down any opinion which disagrees with your own opinions while pretending to promote free speech and diversity of opinion. You are not interested in truth nor fairness.

You are one of them, as I have always suspected. You are one of those that you obsess in hatred while attacking them in a vile piety of self-righteous hypocrisy seeking to mask any other voice which you deem unacceptable with even more biased sources and propaganda as you do to Bill O'Reilly who you accuse of doing the exact same as you do in an attempt to destroy him advocating a policy of liberal authoritarianism which you claim to fight against and critisize.

That is all.
