No One Is Buying O’Reilly Harassment Machine as ‘Legitimate Journalism’
Posted on April 11th, 2009 by ZP Heller

Bill O’Reilly continues to pretend his Harassment Machine is quote “a legitimate brand of journalism,” but nobody’s buying it. Columbia Journalism Review editor in chief Mike Hoyt, a victim of the O’Reilly Harassment Machine, said these journalistic ambushes are a far cry from real street interviews because O’Reilly is “grabbing whatever out-of-context quote that he can use to make you look stupid.” O’Reilly then spins these quotes to further his conspiratorial rants, like he did by conjuring a connection between Think Progress’s Amanda Terkel and his imaginary enemy NBC.

The best part is, O’Reilly’s sponsors aren’t buying this bastardized form of journalism either. Check out what Bayer and Johnson&Johnson had to say because so many people have been writing to The Factor’s key advertisers, telling them to Stop the O’Reilly Harassment Machine.

    Today the "word of the day" on the "O'Reilly Factor" is ... Quakebuttock! That "found" a word that has been in the urban dictionary for 4 years?
