NBC Host Makes Snide Comment to O'Reilly. Bill Goes Nuclear on Live TV

Editor's Note:  I don't like Matt Lauer because I think he's a self absorbed arrogant snot. But I dislike Bill O'Reilly for the same reason.  Having said that, I don't usually post anything from Conservative Tribune news site because they consistently overstate what's being presented.  I thought Lauer asked the probing questions he needed to ask, and he pursued them respectfully yet pointedly. O'Reilly responded pointedly and did an excellent job, including avoiding the proving a negative trap.  I thought this was a well done interview and nothing inappropriate by either party, and no one went "nuclear on TV". 

Along with the headline, here's the way Conservative Tribune promoted this information.

Matt Lauer couldn't help but take a cheap shot at Bill O'Reilly... All he did was wake a sleeping giant.
Bill O’Reilly denied any wrongdoing when pressed by Lauer, but the NBC reporter kept pushing until he got a reaction............Read more…


 

HE DID IT: Bill O’Reilly Just Said What Everyone Else Was Thinking About McCain

July 31, 2017 Politics

(Angry Patriot) – Former Fox News host, Bill O’Reilly, said he knows exactly why Senator John McCain torpedoed Obamacare repeal.  “I think this is about Trump,” O’Reilly explained, “I think McCain despises Trump so much because of the POW comment during the campaign.” He added that McCain plans to “make it impossible for Trump to have any kind of legislative victories.”

Bill O’Reilly made the shocking statement while appearing on the “The Glenn Beck Program” Friday night. However, Glenn Beck thinks there is more to this story.  O’Reilly referred to an insult issued by President Trump in 2015 where the then-presidential candidate claimed that McCain was no war hero for being captured. According to O’Reilly, McCain is lashing out against President Trump for the personal insult. However, the Senator has been opposed to conservative positions for longer than Trump has been a politician..............McCain is the establishment wing of the GOP. He regularly lies to win election only to side with Democrats when it counts.  McCain cannot be allowed to win another election. President Trump cannot drain the swamp alone. If we are truly committed to ending corruption then we must oust the swamp monsters......To Read More....

My Take - The author probably hasn't paid close attention to McCain's cancer problem.  It seems unlikely McCain is going to live long enough to run again.  Those with this affliction can live up to five years, but the average survival rate for people with this is 14 months. 

Is Fox News About To Be Challenged By A New Conservative Network?

By Andrew West April 28, 2017

Fox News has had an interesting few months, with massive lineup changes and lawsuits dominating their landscape. With the losses of on-air personalities Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly in recent months, and bigwig Roger Ailes being ousted after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced surrounding him, the network has seen better days.

 While still dominating the cable lineup in terms of ratings, there is no denying that Fox News is rapidly evolving, and soon the network may not be able to recognize itself. Now, given the smattering of conservative opinions that are gaining momentum in America, and the perceived fracturing of Fox, the conditions could be just right for a challenger to the cable news throne…and that is exactly what one group of so-called “fat cats” are counting on........To Read More.....

My Take - Does anyone remember not that many years ago when CNN was watched with gusto because it presented more news in depth than the others, and gave the appearance of at least presenting some conservative views.  Then came Fox News and everyone laughed at them.  I don't know the time line but about the same time the Drudge Report appeared and the Mighty Leftie Media laughed and mocked them all.  Well, the worm turned. 
 
The New York Times and the rest of the Mighty Leftie TV  and Print News Media are in trouble, and Fox dominates cable news.  Why?  Because they gave the impression they were a conservative news source.  And compared to the rest - they were far more conservative than anyone else in television - and there was a massive audience out there with "traditional values" craving to have their positions heard. 
 
Notice that I said they had "traditional values" - I didn't say conservative values.  The reason why is because there are entirely too many "conservatives" like John Kasich, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, George Will, Charles Krauthammer and others who have trouble defining conservative values that are in line with traditional values.  With George Will and Krauthammer I understand it.  They're atheists and as a result have floating foundational values. 

John Kasich I also understand - he claims he has the right to define conservatism as he sees fit.  I've met him and he suffers from a serious case of weird compounded by a massive infection of hubris.  In short I think he's a bit crazy.  He often reminds me of Bill Clinton with his ability to be charming on cue - but Bill Clinton is a psychopath, and I think Kasich is also.

McCain and McConnell are both self serving politicians who love the position, privileges and perks that come with being a U.S. Senator, and catered to by the media, as for McCain - I often wonder if his corrupt days with the Lincoln Savings scandal are really over.  Either way - they've both been there too long to know what's right about anything. 

Now Fox is going to come under the sway of the Murdoch kids and they're liberals.  If that happens Fox is doomed and a real conservative network will do to Fox News what Fox did to CNN.  I'm looking forward to it. 

Oh, one more thing.  I've not really addressed this stuff about O'Reilly and there's a reason for it. I don't like him.  I think he's arrogant, self serving and more than willing to dump on the lesser lights at Fox, especially when he had his eye candy "blonds" on to interrupt and talk over. 

I decided he's fundamentally dishonest and I think that because he claimed the Obama birth cirtificate was a non issue because "he's seen it".  No one else in the world saw it but Bill O'Reilly did.  I think he was fundamentally afraid of the rich, prominent and powerful.  When he interviewed Obama he was a wimp and when he interveiwed Alec Baldwin it was the same - Baldwin - who in no way could be called the brightest pebble in the brook - dominated him.  And - I think he did exactly what they've claimed.  I think he's a self serving -cad and stopped watching him years ago.
