17 unanimous United Nation resolutions giving authority to invade Iraq, 98% support from the House and Senate to invade Iraq,, every intelligence agency in the World agreed he had WMD's, overwhelming support of the United States citizens supported the invasion, and the WMD issue was debated for over a year.

But we are all to believe the revisionist history of the WMD's in Iraq? Jonathan Gruber was right about the a lot of the American public.

If that is the total sum definition of what is important to you that isn't saying very much. Perhaps in a few years you might reflect on the change you've embraced as being welcome and realize the mat you put out also let the fleas in.

There's a couple of clarifications of what you state.
1. Brian Williams was suspended by the network.
2. Brian Williams was not "outed" by some smear merchant but was instead called on his untruths by the people that were actually there which set off an investigation of all his "stories".
3. O'Reilly has since been vindicated by video/audio evidence AND by people who were there.
The one good thing is this whole deal set off a conversation and caused "some" to actually think about the talking heads that feed them prepackaged so-called "news" on a daily basis and it's actual validity.
Am I a huge O'Reilly fan? Nope. I think he's wayyyy too preoccupied with certain subjects like his pavlovian response to anything that has to do with children and his using kids to garner ratings. Also he constantly credits himself with changing laws,influencing government actions and threatening elected officials to do things "he" deems right and proper like some kind of holy crusader.

I wonder if he's double jointed as much as he pats himself on the back...

O'Reilly was simply the target of left wing extremists who were angered and upset over the Brian Williams story and simply wanted to, as liberals like to do, change the subject when things are going against them.

His story was completely vindicated by the video/audio evidence, and therefore, story is over. If anything, the implications we can take away from this is that liberals are vindictive hateful liars who are out to destroy anyone that disagrees with them.

It's getting quite old, and while I agree ol' Bill has quite the ego, deep down he's a good guy with good intentions, which is more than can be said for the liberal left wing scum that attacked him.

And yes, I believe he is double jointed.

I will enjoy the day when the news breaks that Bill ****ing O'Reilly has died. He is infuriating and poisonous and I hate him with a passion.

Who is Bill O'Reilly? Is he that guy that looks like a much older Steve Allen?

Long story short, there are some people who prefer to read their news as oppose to someone telling it to them?

Are you suggesting that if Bill O'Reilly misrepresented his experience in a "war zone", that is somehow less significant that when Brian Williams did it?
Answers to your questions.
  1. Yes
  2. No
  3. No
I take note that you didn't actually address my message. The only thing I see is that you don't like it but can't logically address it, and hence seek to attack the messenger with these pointless questions.
