Examining the Bill O'Reilly Controversy

There is no real mystery to the attacks on Bill O'Reilly from Fox News. It is exactly what it appears to be: the Liberal media's attempt to deflect attention from one of their shining stars: Brian Williams. 

Every journalist exaggerates...bring Williams back! 

To fit that narrative, Liberals had to search thirty year old archives and parse whether O'Reilly said "to" or "at." Nice try.

Undaunted, the New York Times gives us a thirty paragraph article on the subject wherein they conclude in paragraph seven that O'Reilly is guilty:

The accusations against Mr. O’Reilly, which have since been substantiated by other journalists in Argentina at the time, have played neatly into the network’s narrative of being the conservative outlier in an industry dominated by liberals.

Proving that the authors (never mind the editors) of New York Times articles do not read their own pieces, the ironclad guilty verdict against O'Reilly is called into question six paragraphs later:

In the days after the Mother Jones article was published, Mr. O’Reilly mounted an aggressive campaign against the article and its authors on Fox, and aired a video clip and an interview with a former NBC journalist that he said supported his version of events. (New York Times, 2/26/2015)

Oh well...

The O'Reilly kerfuffle is also important to the Liberal media because it deflects attention from the news at MSNBC that the show of Pulitzer Prize winning wunderboy Ronan Farrow is being canceled. Apparently, even though Farrow attracted twelve viewers, two more than Al Sharpton, MSNBC pulled the plug. 

MSNBC is in a real bind with Sharpton because canceling his show will lead to charges by the Rev of...RACISM! Don't you love it when Liberals get caught in their own games?

ObamaCare customers who received health insurance subsidies last year are getting an unpleasant surprise this tax season -- with many finding they have to repay hundreds of dollars. 

An analysis by tax-preparer H&R Block found that to date, 52 percent of those who enrolled in Affordable Care Act coverage are paying back part of their premium tax credits. (Foxnews.com, 2/26/2015)

Obamacare....it's working!
