Then when called on it, you back-pedalled. It's ok, I understand.

It is a news outlet, not the freakin' pope.
Furthermore, every single conservative here would support punishment for O'Reilly if he's guilty of a crime.
Additionally, every single conservative here would support punishment for Fox News if they behaved in an illegal manner.
Fox news can go die in a fire.
Nobody cares, Tassman - your parading around this weird 'moral Fox news' thing is getting old.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

What kind of sick person gets on the internet and tries to get people to suicide?
You need help, Tassman, serious help.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

OTOH, leftists will never be embarrassed that the primary liberal news outlet, the New York Times, has been engaging in sex, age and race discrimination all while pontificating against such things because they no longer can be embarrassed about any sort of behavior any more.

A currently topical example of that is Trump's favorite dictator of the day, Duterte, who has taken his personal struggles with drug addictions out on his own people, encouraging mass-murder of drug users.
We've seen the same thing when the most outspoken opponents of homosexuality have been, time after time, found to be enjoying gay sex themselves.
Something seems broken in the brains of many conservatives that seems to mean when they can't cope with their own perceived 'sin' and are struggling against those inner demons, then they get all moralistic and preachy and start lashing out at the perceived sins of others. Bill O'Reilly is merely the latest such example of a really terrible person, who spent almost every day moralizing at other people.Last edited by Starlight; 05-01-2017, 06:48 AM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Certainly not.
But yes, quite often as a general rule, the sin people are loudest about can often be a clue as to their own struggles.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.
