You know, I didn't like O'Reilly for a long time, then thought I understood him better and just viewed it as light entertainment, until he started blaming the evil speculators for the rise in oil recently. Blaming the speculators has been going on for a long time, including when Nixon defaulted on the gold standard in 1971. I started wondering if O'Reilly was a shill.
Then I heard O'Reilly going after Ron Paul while listening to Fox Radio by satellite. The segment seemed suspicious right off the bat. I was amazed that this was even newsworthy. Is there nothing better to report than that? Seriously?
Here is a link to the O'Reilly hit job.
Listen on the lead in how they all chuckle about how "out there" he is. Then they show Paul for 2 seconds in one clip and 4 seconds in another clip, then proceed to assassinate him.
So I decided to check out the original interview to hear what was said in context. Here is the link for the entire radio interview. It is long but you can skip down to the 30-minute mark. It will take a minute or so to get to the beef. Keep in mind, this interview was over 30 minutes covering all kinds of territory, yet O'Reilly ignores all of it except for 6 seconds.

Whether you agree with him or not, you have to agree that his entire, logical argument was completely ignored.
This is a blatant hit job.
Here are two more links for hit jobs on Paul on the same day. One is MSNBC and the other is CNN. At least they give him the courtesy of responding to the attacks. Is the news this slow, is Ron Paul's logic that bad, or is there a concerted effort to bury him?
