Quote:I think the big difference between O'Reilly (who's been caught in a number of lies) and Brian Williams is that Williams was on a broadcast network while FOX news is a cable network. 

 

I'm sure you could be an expert on FOX or MSNBC if you just made stuff up that fits with their key demographic.

 

I could go on Fox News and say "Obama is using the affordable care act to transition into banning guns.  His top aids have said that they would push the idea that banning guns would reduce the cost of healthcare."


I could go on MSNBC and say "Republicans in congress are working on a bill that would charge mothers who get abortions with murder"

 

I don't think it really matters IMO.

 

The extend to which is a difference is Williams was a true anchor/reporter. O'Reilly is an actor though there are millions who treat him the same as a Williams. Though I do think someone like Williams should hold himself to a hire standard it still remains a hypocrisy I think if viewers and the media do not.
