Indiana University media researchers have concluded a study into Bill O’Reilly’s ranting on TV. They’ve analyzed 115 episodes of his TV shows on the Fox News channel. I would feel sorry for them having to have gone through that traumatic experience if it weren’t for the awesome results of their study.
They found dear Bill uses a derogatory name once every 6.8 seconds, and that he’s frequently and consistently using known propaganda devices in his speech. He’s using fear prominently to back his insane arguments.
He’s also consistently and with no exception labeling foreigners in a negative light.
It’s no news to anyone, of course, that he is a xenophobic racist asshole. It’s just good to have scientific evidence of it.
A PDF publication of the study results can be found on the Indiana University website.
