O'Reilly: "Eighty-seven percent are intoxicated when they watch [the Daily Show]." Ahhh...nice researching!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Nonsense! Bill O'reilly has a crack team of researchers from which he pulls all of his facts, they are collectively known as "his ass".</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>No, i watched that episode and he was being facetious. You could tell when he was saying he did the research he wasjoking, too. Notice how he continually brings up the stoned slackers all throughout the interview? Hes simply poking fun. Yes, sometimes even O'Reilly has a sense of humor.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I found that conversation to be quite funny....</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Also notice how O'Reilly refers to himself as one of the most important people in the country... he was obviously in a playful mood.</div>

here is a great one....in response to his comments</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>So i guess subtelty isnt just lost on Sine... well, people with agendas read into things what they want to hear so i shouldnt be surprised.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>It's just his style of talking, though. He's so used to pulling bogus figures out of his ass that even when he's joking, it slips through. I'm surprised he didn't tack on "according to Paris Business Review" to his comment.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>That's quite ironic to be talking about agendas in relation to O'Reilly.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I don't know what you're getting at. O'Reilly made a joke based on his perceptions. Comedy Central researched it, and it turns out his perceptions are incorrect.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Thats the thing, he wasnt quoting the 80 something percent as fact, there was no research, he pulled the number out of the air and made a joke. So the point was, it is funny how people (with no perception of his humor) will just take that fake number and run with it against him.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>That PBR thing defenitely is the most glaring thing against him, i wish i could hear or read him respond to it, but i think they are trying to sweep it under the rug.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I don't care about the number itself. But it's clear from the joke that his perception is that the people who watch his show are more intelligent than the Daily Show. (And I also realize that education level does not mean intelligence.)</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>He was saying that the viewing audience of The Daily Show is the impressionable 18-21 y/o's who would be more likely to vote based on a joke. I didnt see anything that said his viewers were more intelligent, either.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I take "stoned slackers" to mean unintelligent/uniformed people, not "impressionable 18-21 year-olds."</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Werent you just arguing against Seeker about when he said smoking makes you dumb?</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I agree with the Fox president: just relax</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>My point was that alcohol - a drug he uses - makes you just as dumb, not that weed does not make you dumb. That is, alcohol is not a morally superior drug.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Christ...let's not get into that stupid bullshit again.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, because he knew he fucked up. He will dress up evidence or just plain lie, but that's the first time he used a fictional newspaper (or whatever) to back up one of his lies.</div>
