I'm going with this guy...
No, he's not really "evil" or the "worst ever," but he does have a large part in American civilization back pedaling so voraciously and being so proud of it. He really should be taken off the air. With a sniper bullet, if that's what it takes.
I don't get why someone can get banned on this website for posting "First" on a forum, but when you advocate the murder or a TV personality b/c you disagree with him... Maybe you should add your name to the list..
Yeah... The sniper assassination part? That was a joke. The "[being] a large part in American civilization back pedaling so voraciously and being so proud of it?" That was the sentiment. I have no issue with people I disagree with, some I even love (Yahtzee, to name someone on this site). The problem I have with Mr. Bill is the amount of power he wields over the American public... Power no one political figure, much less journalist, should ever have.
Did you actually think I was "advocating murder?" Because, if so, you have officially upstaged the original joke!
Honestly, if you want to make a joke, you need to put a "lol" or something to show your joking. Sarcasm doesn't come across well in posts...
Also, he really doesn't have that much "power". He has a TV and radio show, just like Ed Shultz, Rachel Maddow, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Keith Olberman (use too, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Matthews, and many other Liberal and Conservative commentators. They are opinion/commentary shows and I know for a fact that most of these people don't frame themselves as "journalists" (a term i don't think really exists anymore), but commentators who put the news in the perspective of their believes.
The issue is, the liberal ones are never really successful commercially. Most MSNBC commentators are liberals while most of Fox News are conservatives (Ironic that the people who ***** about Fox News won't point out the liberal bias on MSNBC/NBC News, but I digress...). MSNBC constantly gets their butt handed to them by Fox News and center left leaning CNN.
When most Americans have a choice to watch a commentator, they choose Bill, or Sean, or Beck, not Rachel, or ED, or Lawrence.
This is because the majority of the country is center-right/libertarian/conservative. There is a loud group of hard-left liberals and communist/socialist that have a large voice in the news and entertainment media that have great sway, but it never sticks.
So, to sum it all up.
1.Sorry I misunderstood the joke, but you may want to denote that its a joke next time to protect yourself
2. The only power Bill has is the one given to him by a fan base and a nation that doesn't always agree with him, but have more libertarian/Conservative values
