PCBS: Politically Correct Bullsh*t
A Cancer on American Journalism
O'Reilly Factor -- Fox News -- November 9
Evan Thomas, Newsweek: I cringe that he's a Muslim. It just enflames all the fears - I think he's probably just a nut case - but that label attached to him will get the right wing going and just -- I think these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.
O'Reilly: Get the right wing going.
Joining us now is Fox contributor Bernie Goldberg... You know, that's the prevailing wisdom. Evan Thomas, I know him, you know him, I mean he's an honest reporter, but it's like – oh, no these right wing guys, they're going to come down – you know.
Goldberg: Exactly. He's not just the editor-at-large at Newsweek, he's the big thinker at Newsweek. And that sound cut you just played - that's what passes as a big thought among the mainstream media these days.
The real danger, Bill, the real danger is those angry, bigoted right wingers – not the Muslim fanatics, not even a Muslim fanatic, by the way, who kills thirteen of his fellow soldiers and would have killed a lot more if he could get away with it. But Evan Thomas says I think he's simply a nut. As a journalist you have to willfully -- willfully look the other way at all the facts about major Hasan...
O'Reilly: You have two things going on. You have the system buying into political correctness because it didn't obviously remove this Hasan when they knew what he was doing – they let him stay there. And then you have the media applauding that act.
Goldberg: Exactly.
 American Patrol Report comment: There is a cancer on American journalism that can only be cured by economic surgery -- stop buying or clicking on their garbage.
