What a hatemonger. The tools of the right contain no substance.

A new study by Indiana University media researchers finds that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly calls “a person or a group a derogatory name once every 6.8 seconds, on average, or nearly nine times every minute during the editorials that open his program each night.”
The study documented six months worth, or 115 episodes, of O’Reilly’s “Talking Points Memo” editorials “using propaganda analysis techniques made popular after World War I.” Researchers found that O’Reilly “was prone to inject fear into his commentaries and quick to resort to name-calling. He also frequently assigned roles or attributes — such as ‘villians’ or downright ‘evil’ — to people and groups.
Some findings from the study:
– Fear was used in more than half (52.4 percent) of the commentaries, and O’Reilly almost never offered a resolution to the threat. For example, in a commentary on “left-wing” media unfairly criticizing Attorney Gen. Alberto Gonzales for his role in the Abu Ghraib scandal, O’Reilly considered this an example of America “slowly losing freedom and core values,” and added, “So what can be done? Unfortunately, not much.”
– The researchers identified 22 groups of people that O’Reilly referenced in his commentaries, and while all 22 were described by O’Reilly as bad at some point, the people and groups most frequently labeled bad were the political left — Americans as a group and the media (except those media considered by O’Reilly to be on the right).
– Left-leaning media (21.6 percent) made up the largest portion of bad people/groups, and media without a clear political leaning was the second largest (12.2 percent). When it came to evil people and groups, illegal aliens (26.8 percent) and terrorists (21.4 percent) were the largest groups.
The techniques used by Indiana University researchers to study O’Reilly were also “used during the late 1930s to study another prominent voice in a war-era, Father Charles Coughlin. His sermons evolved into a darker message of anti-Semitism and fascism, and he became a defender of Hitler and Mussolini.” The researchers note, “O’Reilly is a heavier and less-nuanced user of the propaganda devices than Coughlin.”

sometimes glenn beck is on during my last break...one day he spent the first segment ofhis show from start to commercial break on rosie leaving the view...the next day while reading emails someone asked how the cast of the view became news and he laughed and replied 'i wish i could tell ya, man!' !!!!! wish you could tell him, you oughta know, chump!

I've watched the guy, I know his intentions. The word liberal is used as a slander by Reilly, not as a description of a particular party view. The study is secondary but if you wanna believe poor O'Reilly is being hunted by big bad Soros then you keep believing it. I guess you watch him because he is so neutral...lmao.

I wouldn't say it's used to slander. He uses it to describe, it's just a desricption of something that he genuinely dislikes, so it may come off that way. Regardless, the study is completely bogus and couldn't be less biased.
I mean, every 6.8 seconds? That just doesn't make sense, no one does that.
I do happen to like O'reilly, yes. I don't agree with him on plenty, but he immensely talented and by far the best at what he does. (Just my opinion, I'm sure yours is different.) But just because I dislike someone doesn't mean I beleive and subscribe to every negative thing I hear about them. And that seems to be the case with this study, which, by my account, was pretty much tailored to try and make Mr. O look bad. Sorry, not buying it... If he's really that bad, it should be wayyy more provable than these college kids lame measuring stick. Again, JMHO...
