05/11/2004 10:46 AMWHYY reports that Fox News
Channel's Bill O'Reilly, host of
The O'Reilly Factor, will
not authorize
Fresh
Air to relicense segments from his amazing
appearance on Terry Gross's amazing show. Speculation
why he'd ban the repeat of his worlds elsewhere is growing. But it is
obvious to this writer that it is nothing more than a flash of modesty
by this engaging figure, no doubt motivated by a desire to drive
traffic to Fresh Air's site (again, it is
here). Yet another example of commercial media
reaching out to help noncommercial media.

Bill O'Reilly mistakes Globe and Mail
for Socialist Worker
04/22/2004 02:38 PMBill O'Reilly called The Globe and Mail, a rock-ribbed, conservative
Canadian newspaper "the far-left Toronto Globe and Mail," because a
columnist in the paper descibed the Fox News Network (which is coming
to Canada) as humorously exemplary of American foolishness. O'Reilly
urged his listeners to write in to the columnist and give him
what-for, and they did, calling him an "intellectual" and a "Canadian"
and asking if he'd ever served in Vietnam.
Reacting to my column, which cheerfully suggested that the proposal to
bring the Fox News Channel to Canada should be acted upon promptly, so
that we can all take a look, and get a laugh, O'Reilly gave us a
Fox-style whacking. In his segment The Most Ridiculous Item of the
Day, he quoted from my column (which called him "pompous"), dismissed
The Globe as a lefty outfit and said, "Hey you pinheads up there, I
may be pompous, but at least I'm honest."

interesting to contrast Tim O'Reilly's vision with MIT -- O'Reilly is
much more centered around software and the sociology and politics of
software, with a little bit on hardware and biology, while MIT's
article selects technology to highlight from a somewhat broader

10/30/2003 12:34 PMMr. O'Reilly, please just stop.
Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop.
07/24/2004 01:10 PMMr. O'Reilly,
You have declared a "war" on the New York Times. That's good for you,
good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions deserve
strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about matters
important to the Republic.
But in waging this "war," you are continuing to abuse a man whom you
have wronged, and to whom you owe an apology.
On February 4, 2003, Jeremy Glick was your guest on THE FACTOR. Glick
had lost his father in the attack of 9/11. He had also signed an ad
criticizing the war in Iraq. You were "surprised" that one who had
lost his father could oppose that war. And so you had him on your
show, presumably to ask him why. (Here's a
clip
from
Outfoxed putting this story
together.)
You might not remember precisely what you said on that interview, or
more importantly, what Jeremy Glick said. So here's a
copy that you can watch. Nor may you remember precisely what the ad that
Jeremy Glick signed said. Here's a
copy
that you can read. And when you've watched what was actually said, and
read what was actually written, I'm sure you will see that the
statements you continue to make about Jeremy Glick are just plain
false. Not Bill Clinton "depends upon what is is" false, but false the
way most Americans learned growing up: just not true.
For example:
- in the February 4th interview, you
said the ad "accused the USA itself of terrorism." Read the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "equates the United
States with the terrorists." Read the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- in the February 4th interview, you said the ad "absolutely says"
that the United States is to be "equated" with the terrorists. Read
the ad,
Mr. O'Reilly. It says no such thing.
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that "Glick was out of
control." He may have been out of your control. But you and our
government have got to learn that just because someone disagrees with
you, he doesn't become a security threat. Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He was not "out of control."
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing
hatred for this program." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He criticized you, not the program,
for unethically using sympathy for the 9/11 victims for your own
political ends. He was calling your behavior improper. You had not
earned his hatred.
- on February 5th, you told your viewers that Glick was "spewing
hatred for ... his country." Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. He specifically
distinguished the people he was criticizing from "the people of
America." He, like the rest of us, loves our country, even if we
disagree with its political leaders, or your political views.
- on February 5th, you accused him of using "vile propaganda." What
does "propaganda" mean to you, Mr. O'Reilly? He was disagreeing with
your views. Why is that "propaganda"?
- six months later, you said that Glick said that the Bushes "were
directly responsible for 9/11." Again, watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. He said no such thing. Indeed, he
twice denied it.
- eleven months later, you said Glick "came on this show and accused
President Bush of knowing about 9/11 and murdering his own father."
This, Mr. O'Reilly, is a total, if not pathological, fabrication.
Glick said nothing about Bush "knowing" about 9/11. He said nothing
about Bush "murdering" his own father. Watch the interview, Mr. O'Reilly. Your statements characterizing what
Glick said are absolutely false.
- just last week, you again repeated the claim that Glick said that President Bush was
"responsible for his father's death." He said nothing of the
sort.
- just last week, you repeated the claim that Glick "implied that the United States
itself was a terrorist nation." Glick said nothing of the sort.
- just last week, you said Glick said "America itself was responsible for the 9/11
attack." Glick said nothing of the sort.
- And finally, and most extraordinarily, just last week you repeated the claim that "security actually had to take the guy
out of the building, he was that out of control." This, Mr. O'Reilly,
you know to be absolutely false. Indeed, it was you who
threatened physical violence against Mr. Glick after his interview,
and your own staff that apologetically begged Mr. Glick to leave as
quickly as he could, fearing that if you saw Glick again, as they
said, you would "end up in jail."
I understand how someone
loses his temper, Mr. O'Reilly. I have done the same myself. But a
decent man apologizes for his lack of control, and he certainly
doesn't continue to abuse someone he has wronged.
Mr. Glick is not the New York Times. He will not earn more money from
higher ratings because you attack him so viciously. Neither he nor his
widowed mother get any benefit at all from seeing Glick slandered by
your on a regular basis.
You are wrong about the facts, Mr. O'Reilly. And you are wrong to
continue to do such harm. Have the courage to admit your error.
Apologize to Mr. Glick, and let him go back to a life that has been
made difficult enough by, as you said, the "barbarians" who killed his
father. This family has suffered enough from barbaric behavior.

Five New Books From O'Reilly
12/10/2003 10:25 AMO'Reilly and the Cold War
O'Reilly and the Cold War
12/19/2004 03:40 PMThanks for the amazingly thoughtful and interesting comments on the
O'Reilly show. I want to answer one questions about that because
several people raised it: Why would any sensible person agree to be a
guest on that show? Truth be told, I've always in the past declined to
be on the Factor and other shows like it. I agreed this time because
the issue "Is dissent disloyal?" is important, I've thought a lot
about it, and I thought I might be able to contribute something
useful. And I would have, had he not changed the issue! But, since the
main thrust of my guest stint on this blog is learning lessons from
past mistakes, I won't do it again! (The reason, by the way, is not
because it's unpleasant, but because no one should allow himself to be
used by a demagogue.)
Speaking of which, let's return to our history. We left off with the
Japanese internment. As several comments noted, the Supreme Court in
1944 upheld the internment in the case of Korematsu v. United States.
In effect, the Court held that, in wartime, we all have to make
sacrifices, and it couldn't say that the decision to internment these
people was not a rational military decision at the time it was made.
Korematsu has gone down as one of the most profoundly embarrassing
decisions in the history of the Supreme Court, and the nation has in
many ways confessed the unconstitutionality of the internment in the
sixty years since the decision. (As an interesting aside, by the way,
I sumbitted a friend of the Court brief on behalf of Fred Korematsu
--he is still alive and flourishing -- in the Guanatamo Bay, Hamdi,
and Padilla cases in the Supreme Court last spring.)
At the end of World War II, Americans were optimistic. We had the
strongest military in the world, we had just won a "great" war and we
had clearly been on the side of the angels. The world was at peace.
Within a short time, however, everything changed. Although the Soviet
Union had been our ally during the war, relations collapsed beween the
U.S. and the Soviet Union as the need for that alliance disappeared.
Within a stunningly short period of time, the American economy took a
nosedive, there were revelations of Soviet espionage, the Soviet Union
exploded its first atomic bomb, China fell to the Communists,
Americans began to build bomb shelters as they prepared by nuclear
bombs to rain down upon our cities, and the Korean War burst upon the
scene.
Who was to blame? How did the Soviets get the bomb? Why had China
fallen to the Communists? A group of anti-New Deal Republicans and
conservative Southern Democrats had the answer -- it was American
Communists who had sold us out and were working to further the Soviet
cause. Men like Richard Nixon in California and Joseph McCarthy in
Wisconsin began to play the Red Card in order to get elected, and they
did. In the 1946 elections, the Republicans, who now portrayed the
choice as one between Communism and Republicanism, picked up 54 seats
in the House. After being out of power for 16 long years, the
Republicans had found a strategy that could propel them back into
power.
Democrats, who were overwhelmed by the growing anti-Communist
hysteria, jumped on the bandwagon, afraid to resist. Within a few
short years the United States had a new federal loyalty program for
over four million government employees, the House Un-American
Activities Committee investigated thousands of individuals to
determine if they were secret Communists, state and federal
governments adopted their own loyalty programs, investigations,
blacklists, and anti-Communist laws. Tens of thousands of people were
threatened, intimidated, fired, humiliated, and even prosecuted.
Who were these people? Were they spies and sabotuers? No doubt, there
were Soviet agents in the United States. But they were almost never
the target of these actions. They were too well-hidden for that.
Rather, these actions were cynical efforts to make political hay by
taking advantage of, and exacerbating, the fear that was already upon
the land. So, who were these people?
After the Depression, many Americans began to search for answers to
what had happened to the nation. Many toyed with communism. At this
time, the Communist Part of the United States was a lawful political
party that ran candidates for public office throughout the nation. It
stood for such causes as women's rights, the rights of labor, and
public housing; it opposed the rise of fascism in Europe and racism at
home. As many as 250,000 Americans joined the CPUSA in this period.
Moreover, many millions more participated in CPUSA events or joined
other organization that shared some of the goals and programs of the
CPUSA. During World War II, we fought side-by-side with the Soviet
Union, and FDR encouraged Americans to see the Soviets as our allies
and friends.
After the war, though, all this fell apart. And suddenly the most
dangerous question in America was: "Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party or a member of any organization that
is or was affiliated with the Commnist Party or have you ever attended
an event sponored by the Communist Party, or signed a Communist Party
petition, or attended a Communist Party rally, or read a Communist
book?" An affirmative answer to any of these questions would
immediately cast doubt on the patriotism and loyalty of the
individual. After all, how do we know you're not still a Commie who is
secretly working to subvert the government of the United States.
This was the heart of McCarthyism.
