Title: Linux on the O'reilly factor?

Who knows if the O'reilly factor has ever done a story on Microsoft? I think Fox competes with MSnbc so you would think they would investigate microsoft especially since such a story involves greed, power, cover-ups, and screwing the consumer.

ALthough many times O'Reilly talks out of his ass (i mean he REALLY talks out of his ass like a moron), at least there are many, many, times when he asks questions that nobody will even dare think of asking. And he hits the mark. I also like HardBall.

I used to hate Chris Mathews but I actually don't mind him now. Seems like an ok guy even if he IS on MSNBC.

O'reilly is such an idiot! A radio show called Opie and Anthony was cancelled for having people have sex in a church over the air. However, a year earlier O'Reilly had done a totally biased interview with O and A complaining about having too much sex and stuff on the radio and been totally flamed by them. But right after their SHOW WAS CANCELLED FOR JUST THAT REASON, O'Reilly chose to play that interview, which then looked like he flamed them!

Isn't that dumbass supposed to be a reporter? The O'Reilly factor and his idiotic new show The Pulse are both chocked-full of yellow journalism and propaganda. He takes every opportunity to express his opinion, and like gullable americans we eat it  all up!!  :mad:

Wake up people. It's "entertainment". I watch O'Reilly because it's funny. I don't watch WWF because it's funny, but some people do. I also listen to Rush because he is funny, especially since he's got Daschle whining like a little school girl. Now *that's* entertainment.

Unfortunately, this is all true. I only agree on 50% of what he says, then he takes some idiotic stance on other shit, and I think he's retarded.
So who's left to investigate M$ in the media?

I agree, the whole 'US English' thing riles me. Especially when there is often no REAL English option.

1337 speak is actually a dialect of English.  ;)

Luckily I don't watch those dumb US journalism shows because I don't get American channels(unlucky).
