Talking Points Commentary


Posted: Aug 4, 2014

Everyone should listen to Bill O'Reilly's talking points memo from today, August 4, 2014. You may not agree with him, but everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, should listen to this commentary. You can write back to snipe at me regarding this post, but I will not be responding to anyone. I'm very tired of the immature back-and-forth psychobabble on this board day in and day out.

Don't listen if you "can't handle the truth."

I won't listen because I'm sick of the LIES. - Fox is an American embarassment.

OP said he/she would not be participating in any discussion, not that discussion wasn't allowed. He/she is not the boss of the board to allow or not allow discussion. LOL...
I usually only answer a post if I think the OP - is interested in the discussion

True, they do not prevent a discussion, obviously.

It's sort of like "here's a topic, discuss amongst yourselves."

also, figured it would just be a rehash of the Fox or Faux. It's old. Those that listen to Fox have their "minds" made up. I listen occasionally to figure out what it is we have to deal with, how much repair/how much damage.

I remember when Fox started and I used to turn them on whenever I wanted the sensationalized/graphic side of a story. Sort of like watching just the wrecks in Nascar not the race.

But that Talking Points Memo was exceptionally insightful. If anyone here can refute anything he said, let's hear it.

The only time I listen to O'Reilly is when The Young - Turks are pointing out what a -

total douche he is. I also love it when Stewart or Maher rip him apart and expose his stalwart ignorance.

The left is very vocal against Bill O'Reilly and Fox news. They know that he has the most successful show in this timeslot so they pull out all the stops trying to discredit him and the network, but it just makes the network and the show more powerful. I love it.

Glenn Beck was like B-OR - sm

made comment that he could keep making sensationalist/idiotic comments to stay popular, he just chose not to--it wasn't the right thing to do.

No one cares about his success rate; it's his - mean-spirited right wing rants we dislike.

Not Just Talking PointsJul 08, 2017
Every time a progressive on this board mentions what this disgusting administration is doing the right-wingers label everything liberal talking points.  There is no doubt that Trump et al are trying their best to remove as many regulations as possible that protect our food and the environment.  Scott Pruitt recently tried to loosen methane regulations and thankfully the courts told him he did not have the authority to do it.  They have already loosened food inspections which were ...

Talking PointsJul 09, 2017
The original thread is so far down the board I am going to start a new one.   I find it amusing that the right-wingers keep saying liberals are just regurgitating progressive talking points as opposed to conservatives who post only original thoughts.  We are all influenced by things we have seen and read and no one here is original.

A Talking Points Memo From Bill OApr 14, 2011
This station was on when I turned on the TV this morning and his Talking Points Memo made sense and had some good points. It was about how to lower our debt. Watch if you have an open mind and give your comments whether or not you come to the same conclusion.  This is just a suggestion. I am not telling you to watch, nor do I need anyone to fill this board with comments on Bill O. That's not the point of this message, so if you can't stand him, that's fine. Just don't g ...

Here's a transcript of a montage I heard this morning. Very clear that they got their marching orders on what to say: MARK MURRAY: They wanted to make this a referendum on Obama; now it's a choice. JOHN KING: Romney has tried to make it a referendum; now you have a choice. CANDY CROWLEY: What Barack Obama wants to do is make this a the choice. Mitt Romney wanted to make this a referendum. PERRY BACON: Is was going to be a referendum. (gasp) Now it becomes much more of a ch ...

More Truth, Not Lib Spin Or Talking Points.Mar 25, 2015
Last Update: June 12, 2014 575 US troops died in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency. By August 18, 2010, following two troop surges initiated by President Obama, that number had doubled. Today, over 1500 US troops have died in Afghanistan since President Obama took office—and yet, little in that war-torn country has changed. These numbers should give us pause. While the Administration has publicly conceded that there is no military solution in Afghanistan, and claimed that it support ...

Commentary On "the News" - Or What Passes For Such Today.Jul 15, 2017
I have no objective way to prove it, but as a news consumer of about 40 years, who has watched the steady deterioration of journalistic standards, it's my opinion that about 95% of what's broadcast on the so-called "news" channels today is anything but news. Gossip, yes.  Speculation, yes.  Opinion, yes.  Exaggeration, yes.  And, unfortunately, not a small element of misinformation, disinformation and unverified, questionable content. I blame the advent of the 24- ...

Clinton Loses 8 Points In 4 DaysOct 28, 2016
1. Trump is getting more black support than any GOP candidate since 1960. 2. Republican fence-sitters are coming home. 3. Even on liberal sites like CNBC, the public discourse is overwhelmingly pro-Trump. 4. Late-breakers usually go for the challenger, and in this race Clinton is the incumbent. Trump will certainly take the popular vote by a significant margin. If he still loses in the electoral college, an extremely angry citizenry will demand that the antiquated and obsolete i ...
