Bill O'Reilly Doctored Needle Photo to Smear OWS

This commentary by Bill O'Reilly was made on November 16, 2011 regarding the Occupy Wall Street Protest in his Talking Points Memo. I noticed immediately that the picture he showed of hypodermic needles was for Insulin syringes. What I did not expect to find was the photograph was cropped by Bill O'Reilly to hide the fact these needles were legally disposed of and was misattributed. Limited clips used provided with my commentary for fair use.

It's tempting to take comfort in the fact that they're careless or incompetent enough to leave a trail of evidence... but it hardly ever seems to matter.

@StubbornProgrammer I found Bill O'Reilly fraud on November 17th. Yet I refrained from posting this video till November 24th figuring someone would blog about or post a video exposing O'Reilly. As you note, this was easy to find. But since NO ONE call O'Reilly out on this bullshit, I did. First unnoticed, receiving few views or noted elsewhere, it will NEVER matter. Conservatives would have a comparable fraud by a liberal up on freerepublic in 3 hours.

What a dishonest piece of shit O Reilly is.

Does anyone believe anything FOX says?

Ahh, I can't stand Bill O'Reilly and his propaganda!

How can Americans take this guy seriously?

Some drug addicts use diabetic syringes and many cap the needles after use. I am not saying that these syringes weren't used by diabetics, though.

SURVEY FOX NEWS

By Eric Boehlert

The release this week of yet another survey indicating the more you watch Fox News the less they know, has once again shone a spotlight on one of the unique features that defines Rupert Murdoch's cable news outlet - it is very, very good at misinforming people. And it's very bad at reporting the news. In other words: Propaganda? Yes. News? Not so much

What's stunning is how many different areas of the news and public policy Fox viewers are misinformed

i feel physically sick when i look at old saggy bill and his guilty give away body language fucking prick and for all the other brain dead robot puppet presenters on fox with their false fucking smiles and that oh look at me im rich attitude they all make me fucking sick....water board the lot

[CHAS1422]

This is a real service. Exposing this fraud is a community service. Fox can get away with it because honest media has become to diluted to challenge them.

Boll O'Reilly is typical of the modern Christian: Filthy, dishonest, miserable little piece of animated trash. Time to pull the plug on that scummy bastard. I hope someone sues that network into penury over this.
