Fox 'news', Rupert Murdoch, Bill O'Reilly LEAD THE RACE to media "Moral Values" gutter!

This article by Steve Young should be titled "Bill O'Reilly cowardly SELLS OUT his "Moral Values Guardian" role to Fox 'news' vulgar, garish and ghoulish race to the Media Gutter."

Indeed, in the first 3 days of this week, Fox (billionaire Rupert Murdoch's privately owned media network) is in the news for TWO major stories that defy their own bombastic propaganda that "liberals and Democrats are destroying the fabric of America's moral values, and helping to destroy America's national security."

For, you see, Murdoch and Fox are going to air a special interview with... OJ Simpson, of the Nicole Simpson/Ron Goldman murder case infamy. Not only is Murdoch's Fox LEADING the race to the media's ghoulish gutter, but there is another story floating around out there.. that Fox news paid a TWO MILLION DOLLAR RANSOM to the kidnappers of Fox mideast reporter Steve Centanni.

Since those insurgents are already bragging that the $2 million ransom WILL be used to buy more weapons for the anti-Israel jihad, that leaves open the possibility (by the draconian standards of the Bush administration's Patriot I & II acts, the MCA act, and the latest horror, the US Insurrection Act) that FOX could be accused of AIDING THE TERRORISTS.

Fox- it's hard to determine WHICH IS WORSE: LEADING the race to America's "moral values" MEDIA GUTTER, or actually AIDING TERRORISTS.

Lipservice Cultural Warrior: Hypocrite O'Reilly Sheds Traditionalist™ Garb When It Comes To Protecting His Own Paycheck

Interesting, Bill O'Reilly has no problem calling for a boycott of a country...France; or calling out states...Vermont, or clamoring for the firing of a TV anchor...MSNBC 's Keith Olbermann. But when it comes to the parent company of Fox News, the network where Bill's "Factor," resides, he claims no power.

On his radio show today Bill decried the Fox Network's interview with O.J. Simpson ("If I Did It, Here's How It Happened") where O "hypothetically describes" how the double murder would have come down IF he had committed them.


Shameful. Besides the concept, how in the world will Simpson figure out how it happened? It just begs for a Fred Goldman interview directly after called, "If There Is A God, Here's How O.J. Simpson Would Die a Thousand Deaths," where he "hypothetically describes" how the Simpson jurors would have decided the case if they had half-a-brain
Did O'Reilly call for a boycott of Fox? Did he call for the firing of the Fox executives who made the deal with Simpson? Did he ask his viewers to not advertise on Fox like he does with the far-left liberal newspapers who write something he questions? Did he even call for someone from Fox to come in the studio so he could shout over them and kick them out? Nope. While he felt it unseemly, Bill said that he has no influence over the network to keep them from airing the show. He would take no action.

If it were Ludacris using lyrics Bill felt obscene, or Jeremy Glick giving his point of view, or a store bearing a "Happy Holidays" sign, or a judge who made a decision Bill didn't agree with, who was behind airing the show, perhaps he would call the "folks™" to arms. But when it comes to a television network that exists under the same corporate umbrella that hovers above his income, his bravado sinks into a gutless fetal position.

Some Cultural Warrior.
