SWOP homepageBill O'Reilly thinks we're a threat!
This weekend, 3,500 people stood together to call for a better media system at the National Conference on Media Reform. But Rupert Murdoch doesn't like that. So last night he launched a laughable attack against the media reform movement, and journalism itself.
His on-air bully Bill O'Reilly called the conference attendees "crazy" and "fascist" --- you, me, and the millions of others who want media reform. These people are "doing a lot of damage to America," O'Reilly yelled. Our crime? Calling for journalism that's more honest, just and accountable to the public.
When Bill O'Reilly goes after you, you must be doing something right. So we've decided to return the favor, and tell him two things: (1) Thanks so much for the compliment and (2) please stop pretending to be a journalist.
