The OReilly Factor
Because our media coverage comes in many forms including newspapers, television and the Internet, we live in an age of easy accessed and available communication and technology. ... News shows like The OReilly Factor can play a large role in shaping peoples thoughts on issues such as war, race relations, religion and even the influence of television. ... The very fast pace of The O’Reilly Factor, the quick back & forth arguments, the biased commentaries, and the short sound bites of information discourage individual, well-researched and educated decisions and thus the show does not achieve and may also hinder the growth of a free-thinking, well-informed public.
The O’Reilly Factor began production in 1996 promoting itself as a “No Spin Zone” where only the truth will be allowed on any given subject. ...
Shows like The OReilly Factor possess a lot of power because they can shape public opinion. ... They left it to The O’Reilly Factor staff to do the research and assumed the conclusion of the host was correct. ...
In conclusion I believe that The OReilly Factor show may have a negative impact on its audience because it does not encourage the formation of individual opinions and discourages self-knowledge. ... This hinders the creation of an informed educated public because it creates the impression that all that is needed to formulate an honest opinion is to watch The OReilly Factor.
