Bill O’Reilly took a break from sexphoning women with his fantasies of falafelling them in the shower, or whatever the heck he does for downtime, to let his viewers know he is “furious — furious!” about the unfair and unbalanced media coverage of the killing of Michael Brown. And because every single person reporting on the shooting is failing to report The Truth About Ferguson, O’Reilly is here to set the record straight, and also to let you know just how much he despises Al Sharpton, because wow, does he really hate that guy.

Here are the Truths that you need to know, according to O’Reilly:

The feds should look into this case and their investigation should be transparent. That is Americans should get hard information as it comes out, which brings us to this video of Mr. Brown stealing from a convenience store and pushing the clerk around.

Ah yes, the video that proves Brown was A Thug is one of the pieces of hard information Americans should have in order to conclude that Brown totally had it coming when Officer Darren Wilson — who, O’Reilly notes, “up until August 9th, had a very good record” — killed him. No, O’Reilly does not note that up until that same day, Michael Brown’s record was also clean as a whistle, but what does that have to do with anything? We’re talking about why Michael Brown deserved to be shot, not why Officer Wilson shot him. Duh.

Agitators call the release of the video a smear against Michael Brown and his family. Further inflaming the situation, but facts are not smears and this goes to Mr. Brown’s state of mind on the day he was killed. Americans have a right to know what happened leading up to the shooting. You don’t suppress an important piece of information in a case like this when only one side of the story is being reported by the media, which is generally terrified of any racial situation.

Now, we hate to quibble with O’Reilly — after all, we have never won Peabody Awards for our journalism, but then again, neither has he. But what exactly does Brown’s state of mind have to do with Officer Wilson killing him? We are aware of the legal term mens rea, which refers to the state of the mind of a person who commits a crime — say, the alleged crime of killing an unarmed teenager — but we are not familiar with the legal theory that the state of the mind of the victim is relevant. But what do we know? Please proceed with your Truths, Mr. O’Reilly sir.

The people rioting and looting in Ferguson are dishonoring the memory of Michael Brown and his grieving family. They are insulting them. Again, flat out disgraceful. The Factor has been investigating those arrested. On Monday night, 78 people were taken into custody and we believe about 30 of them have criminal records. Only four, four out of the 78 are from Ferguson. Many of the others are trouble makers who just streamed into town, but the liberal media will never report that. Nor will they report the true picture of criminal justice in the U.S.A.

Much more at link.

1. Translation - they are getting their clocks cleaned so Mr.Bigpants Cowboy came a-riding back

into town to save the day.


That was a Great read.


"up until August 9th had a very good record"


But this completely confirms how PR - RW media driven the F'edPD story is:

We also hear today that Officer Wilson has an orbital blow out fracture of his eye socket. The Factor has not been able to confirm that, and we do not want to try this case on television.
