Okay, I do hate Bill O’ Reilly.
I'm not the only one.
Now usually I keep my political views to myself unless there is an appropiate forum to express them. As a result I’m very tolerant of opposing beliefs. However I doubt there is one person out there who cannot agree that fox news is one of the most biased channels out there. Reilly, tends to be the most obnoxious of the anchors though.
2 nights ago while visiting Blue Eyes (the boyfriend), His father happened to be watching Fox. So there I was being ‘blessed’ with O’ Reilly’s image plastered on the screen.
Last night’s nonsense? He had a young ex financial assistant who had relocated from Nebraska to NYC..you know to take a ‘bite’ out of our so ever fruitful big apple. Anyhow the segment’s focus was how this ‘professional’ young woman had to resort to stripping.
First off as an aside to the woman he was interviewing, (I forgot her name damnit) I really admire you for the way you were blunt with ‘Mr. homely’.
So typical O’ Reilly begins to paint this portrait of a young successful woman who becomes a ‘victim’ of the current economic crisis . There is the first issue. As the woman would go on to explain she was a mere assistant making an average 30k/yr salary which destroyed O’Reilly’s assumption that this was some young wealthy white-collared worker.(fuck, I know construction workers who make more than I do)
The other thing was that O’reilly could no wrap his head around the fact that this woman simply changed careers for financial issues. He was so hung up on the stereotype of strippers. He just didn’t get it. Every sentence thereafter included a “well what about your parents..well what abou ex-coworkers.. what about friends?” Again, kudos to that woman she handled herself well. I personally would’ve shoved my stilleto up his ass.
There was one thing though (and I can’t believe I’m admitting to this) that I did agree with Mr. baby boomer about. Which was the fact that many women tend to use the “I had no choice” excuse when it comes to working not so ‘appropiate’ jobs. It is always a choice.
I mean what is the problem with being honest? I know I would. Yes I took a job as a stripper..Why? becuase I get paid more and I would’nt have to smell like fastfood. Its simple really. Ultimately people choose paths. How they handle the consequences thereafter is what sets them apart. Unfortunately this world is so quick to judge. Screw you Bill.
