Bill O'Reilly has criticized the media for describing Anders Behring-Breivik, the man who has admitted to committing the mass killings in Norway, as a Christian, saying that such a thing was "impossible."
O'Reilly singled out the New York Times, which called Breivik a "Christian extremist" in an article. Breivik also referred to himself as a Christian, as did the Norwegian police, not to mention his 1,500 page manifesto which makes reference to Christian crusaders known as The Knights Templar.
O'Reilly was manic as he concluded that it was "impossible" for Breivik to be a Christian. And certainly not just because he (Brevic) said so himself.
"No one believing in Jesus commits mass murder," he said. "The man might have called himself a Christian on the net, but he is certainly not of that faith...we can find no evidence, none, that this killer practiced Christianity in any way."
However, since the Fox clip seems to be “disabled” at this time, I can only show you Jon Stewart’s take on the situation. The Daily Show segment “GOP Special Victims Unit” is a montage of hypocrisy over at Fox News which includes O’Reilly hissy fit.

Shepard Smith = Marilyn Munster: The Only Pretty One In A House Full of Freaks
The definition of Shepard Smith "going rogue" is when he inserts facts into his news reporting and agrees with popular opinion.
Of course this type of constructive journalism always results in the sycophantic viewership of Fox News calling for Smiths immediate termination.
When Smith dropped the "F" bomb during his infamous "WE DON'T FUCKING TORTURE!" outburst, the video hit YouTube and the right-wing distain for Smith was immediate. A commentor on the Fox News website called Smith a "mamby-pamby closet liberal." and question why "Fox still has him on the air."
Pamela Geller, editor of the Atlas Shrugs Website, thrashed Smith in a June post on World Net Daily by writing that Smith was "torturing conservatives" and that "Shepard Smith has got to go." Another blogger dismissed him as a "cowardly narcissist."
When discussing the Wisconsin union workers protest with guest Juan Williams, Smith said that "to pretend that this is about a fiscal crisis in the State of Wisconsin is malarkey." Williams did not disagree with Smith, but nevertheless warned Smith that he will be upsetting many viewers by presenting the facts. Smith brushed it off by saying that "facts are troublesome creatures sometimes." as shown in the clip below.
.
Jon Stewart, host of "The Daily Show," dubbed Smith "the black Shep of the Fox family" for his fair & balanced reporting on the presidential campaign. Stewart said the Fox anchor had gone rogue by taking Joe The Plumber to task over his "Obama = the death of Israel" comment as shown in the clip below.
As I recently commented on a post over at NewsHounds. I pointed out how Shepard Smith is the only on-air personality at Fox News that lends a smidge of credibility to the entire network. Smith has been at Fox News from it's inception in 1996 and that's why calls for his ouster are soundly rejected time-after-time. However, I do beleive that there is an obvious method to the madness on the part of Fox News programming executives when it comes to Smith's style compared to that of his Fox counterparts.
For me, watching Shepard Smith apply his craft on the Fox News Channel, is like watching old episodes of the 60's tee-vee classic "The Munsters." In this case, Shepard Smith is obviously playing the role of Marilyn Munster. How intertaining it was then, as it is today, to watch a lone pretty person co-exist amongst a house full of freaks.
Is Sarah Palin Telling Terrorists Where "Real Americans" live?
Hell, one good Saturday morning pancake breakfast in small town "Real America" could bring out 75% of the cities population to the Piggily-Wiggily parking lot like cattle going to the slaughter house. At least, that's the message that Sarah Palin seems to be un-intentionally communicating.

Dear Sarah Palin: Please Google Before You Speak
Sarah Palin needs google everything she plans on saying before she says it. Yet again she blast Obama, this time for his "nuclear-free world" comment. Then she throws out Ronald Regan's name to ralley the crowd into thunderous applause. As if Ronald Regan would scoff at such an idea. Then Stewart plays a video of Ronald Regan saying the same God Damn that Obama said! -- If anything, it's proof positive that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party people are politically unsophisticated and historically challanged and Fox News may be responsible for that.
Stewart:
"So here's where we're at: We're at the point now that the by far No. 1-ranked news network in this country no longer feels the need to accurately report what a policy document says in black and white. And once you free yourself from the fetters of fact shackles -- or fackles -- in the present day, you'd be amazed at what you can do to the facts from the past."
