This time I decided to publish I video I found on the Huffington Post, it is a very short video but I think it says a lot.
Basically what's happening here is that an activist spotted Bill O'Reilly leaving the hotel where republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was holding a fundraiser in Washington DC. The activist follows O'Reilly asking him over and over again if he was attending Gingrich's fundraising event until he is hit by O'Reillys umbrella. Bill O'Reilly is known for his talk show The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, he is a hardcore republican conservative and his talking points are often times blunt, radical and offensive, at times they don't even make any sense. I have to admit this is somewhat of a personal point of view concerning republican talk points. However, it is obvious that during the last couple of years, people grew sick of his rhetoric and arguments.
It is very rare to see him in public and this time an activist was on the spot and did not think twice before trying to talk to him, O'Reillys reaction was clearly over the line. This shows a couple of interesting things. First, this means that people are no longer ready to listen to ridiculous talking points and not react, moreover, it shows that talk show hosts like O'Reilly understand what is happening, they have the feeling that what they are doing will no longer be accepted in the near future. I believe that this video will circulate some more and make a fuzz, and I hope it does.
Whatever happens regarding this incident, it is now clear that talk show hosts are under the radar and will have to change, even if just a little bit or they will not survive. This is important because not only will they be discredited, everything they stand for will be discredited including the Republican party and corporations. This is a great thing happening, the will of the people is starting to gain so much popularity that it might get to talk show hosts that enjoyed complete hegemony and no accountability for years.
I am hopeful for the future!
