I was in attendance at the Tilles Center event hosted by Bill O’Reilly. If your two reporters were really there, they surely weren’t listening.
When your reporters described the event on your front page article, they made it sound like everything was a political attack on Democrats or CNN. The truth is, O’Reilly and Co. spent more than two-thirds of the evening discussing how they built careers in the television news industry.
Less than a third of the time was spent answering questions from the audience, and that’s where the humor was most prevalent.
Your reporters were either totally biased in their reporting, or they simply can’t take a joke.
Almost every political knock they mentioned was done tongue in cheek. In short, it was a joke!
It was a light hearted attempt at political humor that your reporters attempted to make look mean.
Believe me, I was there. The humor was similar to a “political roast” you might see on TV. Except for your reporters, everyone else got the jokes.
I guess they were determined to miss or misuse the humor for their own political purposes.
How can we ever come together as a country, if newspaper reporters can’t take or report a joke!?
