Kurt Nimmo Asks: Is Bill O'Reilly a CIA Operative? Kurt
Nimmo Mr. O’Reilly: I am, of course, not surprised you did not respond to my last email, or the one before that. Naturally, a man of your stature and influence need not reply to critics, especially small fish critics from the blogosphere. Even so, I believe it is worth a try to send yet another email your way, however futile the attempt, and ask yet another question. Mr. O’Reilly, do you work for the CIA, or have you ever worked for the CIA? I ask this after reading an entry posted on Wikipedia, the online dictionary. It appears the journalist Carl Bernstein has evidence you worked for Operation Mockingbird, the CIA’s operation to “influence the domestic and foreign media,” as Wikipedia deems it. I believe the word “influence” is incorrect here, as the CIA and other government agencies have taken over the corporate media lock, stock, and barrel. In the Soviet Union, TASS became the official mouthpiece by decree of the USSR Central Executive Committee Presidium. In America, the process was a bit more subtle and protracted, albeit the result was pretty much the same. Obviously, George Bush Senior was telling a lie in 1976 when he declared: “Effective immediately, the CIA will not enter into any paid or contract relationship with any full-time or part-time news correspondent accredited by any U.S. news service, newspaper, periodical, radio or television network or station.” Around this time, you were working for the ABC affiliate WNEP in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as the “Action Consumer Troubleshooter,” in addition to reporting the weather. Is this when the CIA first approached you? In short order, you won a Dallas Press Club Award, followed by a Local Emmy Award, and then you were news anchor on WCBS-TV in New York where you won another Local Emmy. A few years later, you were working for ABC News as a correspondent for ABC World News Tonight, followed by Current Affair, and then you decided it was time for your Harvard degree. After graduation, Roger Ailes hired you. It would have been interesting to be a proverbial fly on the wall in those days, listening to the conversations between you and your CIA handlers. Of course, Wikipedia is not exactly an authoritative source, as they seem to have at least a few cranks posting over there. For instance, if we are to believe Wikipedia, I am a scurrilous anti-Semite and Holocaust denier, mostly because I consistently criticize Israel and defend David Irving’s right to free speech. On the other hand, it would be difficult to dismiss Carl Bernstein’s accusation. No doubt, if he was making things up, you would have sued him by now, much in the same way you attempted, without success, to sue Al Franken. It is probably better to simply ignore the accusation and hope it disappears. However, Mr. O’Reilly, out here in the blogosphere, it has not disappeared, as stories flowing through the circulatory system of the blogosphere have an uncanny knack for growing legs. I think you should get the jump on this one. Go public before this sucker turns on you. Don’t let it fester like that phone sex scandal. If you act now, you can add another dimension to your show, as going after Rosie and harping night after night about sex offenders is growing rather stale. Call it the O’Reilly Spook Factor—or how about the Disinfo Operative Who Came in From the Cold? I’m sure the PR geniuses over at Fox can come up with a snappy title. It might just work. It sure can’t hurt, especially with your declining popularity. Kurt Nimmo ---------------------------------------------------
