‘You Want A War? You Got A War': Bill O’Reilly Flips Out Over ‘Anti-Fox Defamation’

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly exploded on Wednesday against what he described as a campaign to demonize both the US and his network.

“You want a war? You got a war. I’m not gonna sit here any longer and take this garbage,” he said. “People who lie, run the country down, or are racist themselves are gonna be called out right here on the Factor.”

O’Reilly bemoaned what he called “the insane rhetoric on cable news,” while accusing Yahoo of prioritizing “anti-Fox defamation.”

“You rarely see any conservative points of view on Yahoo — where’s Daily Caller? Where’s Breitbart? Where’s World Net Daily? Where’s Newsmax?” he asked. “In the world of Yahoo News, they don’t exist. Yet every anti-Fox statement Jon Stewart is headlined. It’s disgraceful.”

Meanwhile, O’Reilly argued, Fox was unfairly lambasted for questioning the notion that prioritization of white people is a problem in the US, which he called a “blatant dishonesty.”

Yahoo is the most conservative cesspool outside of Fox!

He better start by calling himself a racist!

What a dick bag!

I apologize to all bags beneath dicks - I mean no offense.

Edit : also to all bags that contain a plethora of dicks - my comments were not towards you either.

It's not as though FOX had a great reputation.

The law gets more complicated because FOX is public figure, to put it mildly.

Luckily, FOX has big bucks for frivolous lawsuits because not many lawyers would take this on contingency.

Pay no attention to the blowhard behind the curtain of faux FAUX News outrage. He knows there is no defamation case. He's just shocked, shocked, that anyone would call him or his employer or his colleagues at FOX what they actually are. And he craves attention.

Instead of just making up shit about people he disagrees with or being a condescending asshole, he seems to have morphed into a whiny toddler.

It's like the three faces of Eve except he's a jackass in all of them.

You will, and you should shut up."

he won't do a thing. However, he will rile up his mouth breathing audience to do the halfwit work for him. bill o'moron gets all the glory while his rabid followers take all the blame.
