Do you like Bill O' Reilly? I know everyone here hates Fox news and all, I myself am not a fan but I feel he is the most fair out of all the other shows on the fox news network. So what do you think?

And please no "All the media is owned by Zionist and blah blah blah." I'm sick of hearing that crap I myself don't trust the television exclusively.

Salaam, If he is the same Mr. Riley, who is a Talk Show Host on one of the American Radio Stations, then Sorry, if that's the best, then what is mldly worse and what is the worst. The guy is biased to the root, may Allah give him guidance.

Salaam.

EVERY SINGLE person on the television is a Zionist or out to get people and has some kind of secret agenda to brainwash people? I've watched media about these theories and there might be plenty of truth to them. Here is a general point though, If you can't watch all sides of the news and weigh out things without being afraid of being brainwashed is that not your own fault?

Fox News. You say it is bias and they are. I agree and there are plenty of people in this country who agree. As well as the other news networks in America. I don't know a Network which I trust 100% can you please suggest one? Fox News also has sent out people to help solve cases of people who do just plain straight up crimes and get off really easy and other cases. these cases in which I'm referring to are crimes that Muslims would be no exception in feeling they are bad. I'm not saying that they are saints or anything.

If you can't watch something no matter how many theories behind them being controlled by whoever and can't weigh it out then that's your own fault.

So you know why I was sick of hearing "Oh they are a Biased news network" Is because every other side says the other side is Biased. When I judge things I try to Judge them with virtue (though maybe sometimes what's virtuous to me is not virtuous to others) and I feel that if you were to do the same you wouldn't bother saying they are biased because you would leave that up to the person who you presenting your way of thinking to.

I don't need no one to tell me what's biased or not I'll take it all in, ALL in and then make up my mind. If you feel the specific show is biased please tell me why.

:sl: Dear Muslims

From the UK, so don't really see much Fox (not that it would probably make much difference if i was in the UK).

But judging from YouTube, this seems to get into an argument with anyone and everyone. Why this guy is still employed is beyond me.

Well, not really.

Most of the time it's an interesting discussion.

Whereas O'Reilly usually intentionally drifts off the topic to try and take a random cheap shot. Resulting in an arguement.

Not only that, if that is to occur, majority of the presenters still try to keep it civil, whereas O'Reilly nearly always starts shouting at his opponent, and when he can't accept the fact he's wrong, he says "Cut their Mic', Cut it" etc.

Not only completely unprofessional, it's pathetic.

If someone said something on this forum that is not agreeable to Islam wouldn't their mic get cut?

Lol, Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you. Seriously, how is he biased & how is it controlled by zionist?. I don't really like him, but I think he really tries to be objective. he believes in god, but he is a weak christian.

This is true, but we also have rather clearly laid out rules of conduct for the forum as well. I don't know if O'Reilly is as specific with his guests as that, but you are correct, by this time, they should be generally familiar with his style and the manner in which he conducts his show. Which doesn't make it any less distasteful for those who appreciate a good moderator and an effort at a balanced discussion, but the best response is probably to just not watch his show if it disturbs you.

BTW, in the interest of being fair and open about my own biases, I find O'Reilly highly distasteful and do not watch his show.

Why?

Why what? If you are asking why I dislike O'Reilly's show, it is because I prefer a more even handed moderator and a discussion based on an effort to balance different perspectives on the subject being discussed. I also enjoy a more respectful and deliberate approach than he seems to offer.

If you don't mind, why do you call yourself the sad clown?

Bill O-Reilly and certain brand of Christians subscribe to Zionism, their version of truth is to annihilate Muslims and others , those who are against the establishment of the so called Zionist-holy land, ..from the river Nile to the Euphrates, i.e. Him and the rest of the them couldn’t care less about killing civilians, women and children, chasing people from their house and land, as long as Al-Aqsa got destroyed and their fake temple, too facilitate the return of their god to earth, got built. A simple yes and no does not quite cut it as an answer to me…
