This mashup shows O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s response to the study and then looks back at the six previous &#8220;Talking Points&#8221; to see whether O&#8217;Reilly or the Indiana University researchers are to be believed. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, for those wondering what George Soros and Media Matters have to do with whether or not Bill O&#8217;Reilly is a propagandist, I will try to explain. For starters, George Soros &#8211; he who gives away billions of dollars trying to spread good governance, democracy, human rights and independent media around the world while combatting corruption and rights abuses &#8211; is the face of evil. As O&#8217;Reilly stated in last night&#8217;s broadcast to former General Wesley Clark whose PAC received $75,000 from Soros, &#8220;There isn&#8217;t a more radical person in the country than [Soros]&#8221;. O&#8217;Reilly then asked Clark if he would also accept David Duke&#8217;s money.   <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Because Soros is evil, everything he touches also becomes evil or illegitimate, according to O&#8217;Reilly. This includes press releases alerting readers to university studies put out by the non-profit website Media Matters which receives money from various organizations to whom Soros&#8217; foundation gives money. Thus, he <em>controls<\/em> them all. But it gets worse for the report&#8217;s authors as George Soros has also given $5 million to Indiana University. Can there be any question that the Indiana U study was payack for a damning segment that O&#8217;Reilly did on Soros the previous week? Not in O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s World. Add it all up and it is quite obvious that O&#8217;Reilly is not a name-caller. Capiche?<\/p>\n<p><b>IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS<\/b>: Soros has never funded Media Matters and the $5 million gift from Soros to Indiana University established an endowment for the American University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan.
