Bill O'Reilly's Argument For Abolishing Freedom Of The Press

Daily Kos

Once again, Bill O'Reilly has proven that what he said two years ago regarding his lack of journalistic standards is still true: “There are few journalistic standards left these days as we’ve proven on this broadcast again and again”.

O'Reilly can't contain his disdain for anyone who disagrees with him. His outrage is so intense that it led him to say this:

"The most frustrating part about this bill-oreillyis that nothing can be done. The Times has an ombudsman, but he's a joke, and no outside agency has any power over the paper. It can pretty much do what it wants, and does."

Stop the presses! You mean to say that a newspaper can do whatever it wants? How the heck did that happen? Why isn't here an outside agency that has power over these papers? No wonder O'Reilly is tee'd off. He would be much happier if journalists all had to have their work approved by editorial boards that could certify the conservative purity of the message before being disseminated to the people. You know, like the way Fox News does it.
