Facts and Opinion....Hyperbole.....
O'Reilly's use of hyperbole against NBCis an excellent example...."All of them at NBC are...." indicative of the overlap of reporting and opining. The NBC reporter said the Saddam execution was a disaster. The conclusion was that this was not the purvue of a reporter and so he was condemmned for it. Supporters of O'Reilly said "If the reporter had said 'some have said'...." it would have been OK. But no....as long as there are more hours to fill than there are worthy news stories we will be saddled with innuendo, hyperbole, rabblerousing and self aggrandizing opiners.
What is really sad are those who swallow this tripe,no matter who the source is, as wise and truthful. While the opiners say "SUCKERS!!" and count the receipts from their latest book. THe difference between those who are in the business and those who use them as "credible references" here is the financial gain. It's business, plain and simple, with no regard for the overall welfare of the nation.
