[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2711285, member: 24459"] Here's my problem. You have a guy who gets paid to play on words and phrases to fire up his viewers. He's a combination of a cheerleader and a rhetorician. Yes there may be a sliver of truth in what he says but it's purposefully twisted and spun to elicit a emotional response from his viewers. Fox tells him his talking points and pays him to embellish everything. His viewers become so enamored with his verbage they can no longer discern the sliver of truth versus the ambiguous verbage used to convey non truth. So then they blindly defend his not exactly lies but definitely not truth as matters of fact......which forms their opinion. Every news channel has the equivalent of a Bill Oreally. He is very good at his craft.....of not telling the exact truth. So to answer your question about credibility. O'reilly isn't any more credible as Chris Matthews. Both are paid to do the same job. If i want semi unbiased news, I watch any of the local channels. Our local guys don't get to in depth but they don't usually spin the truth all the way out of purportion. [/QUOTE]
