Content Analysis of O'Reilly Factor Finds Spin to be a Factor

Will the Baconian, rational examination of the irrational, passionate, talk-show cable media environment sway anyone, one way or the other? I think not. It's a misplaced mechanism for understanding the phenomenon, itself based on irrational, illogical locations of the discourse.

It's like trying to overlay Einstein on Hobbes. Those that embrace O-Reilly are fearful, and embrace Leviathan, regardless. Does he exacerbate? Yes. But he does not create. He simply gives voice.

And, in the end analysis, has only the potency all of us, together, give him.

 

Proof that a key right wing value is "playing the victim." Poor angry white man....

Next two are "whining" and "making shit up and then acting morally outraged about it."

Two more PhD theses in the making!

 

Honestly, the two greatest certainties in life are that anything that claims to be against spin is a spinner, and that in sport anybody who complains about a lack of class is a classless jerk.

 

the only time i ever watch O'Reilly is in december when he starts up his annual "christmas is being destroyed" brouhaha. god i love that stuff.

 

That was my first thought.

 

I know. It is like the guy from "SuperSize Me." I wonder if this guy's doctor was following the decline in his intelligence and the increase in his moral outrage.

 

O'Really?s current blurb on fox.com is about name calling. It isnt yet translated to type and I wont watch their video so Im not sure of the details. Ill bet hes whining about 'the nutty Left' calling real people names.

 

Here........ Apparently, it's all Soros' fault. And he really does sound like a tinfoilhat merchant.......

 

Spin to be a Factor for Media Matters?

"OSI's donations to Tides were earmarked for several specific programs, and Media Matters was not included on this list."
Quid pro quo? OSI donates to Tides, which reallocates money to MM? Standard practice in politics.

 

That was my first thought. That guy deserves some sort of medal.
