You see, when you expose an 8-year old girl on the internet to spout a political message and insult Bill O’Reilly, what is the hillarious thing that happens next?”

Maybe that says a lot more about the paranoia of fox that it gets so wound up by a 8 year old on a viral on youtube. For gods sake I was actually quite baffeled (?) when he said he was concerned for the child that someone might (or at least implied)come to her house and beat her up was rather insidious. Plus I love the opening: I know where you live MUHAHAHAHAH!! Its pathetic.

“If it was scripted she wasn’t really mouthing off, was she? there was only nothing new or refreshing in that video – its only selling point was the fake precociousness of that kid. ”

Yes its called acting Mirax. People also play scripted rants in movies, sometimes they are quite amusing. Just like the many rants in fight club and various chic flics where all men are evil.

“but you can bet your ass that if that kid had been promising to go medieval on goddamn muslims, Refresh would be singing a different tune.”

Yes of course, when someone can’t be bothered with the actual subject attack the poster instead. Great thinking there. GUess what there have already been loads of stories about ‘muslims’ all over the place on Fox, if you want to have a look at the brilliant ‘news’ content it serves view this:

I think that the biggest news agency in the states has a little more influence than an 8 year old on a viral. Maybe Fox should up its responsibility and stop patronising the rest of us, with their bullshit pontification.

The reason why most of us found it cute and perhaps not really offensive was that we agree with some parts of the message, even though it had some anti-religious overtones. But that is freedom of speech.

But your three marks of craftmanship also validate this.

That means something completely different now Amir although as a right-winger you probably know that.

1. The message
2. The delivery
3. The timing

Count 1., the message was a wake up call from some one or some body to their fellow citizens.

Count 2., the delivery was inspired, it was novel in an environment where so much has been said and no one is listening.

Count 3., timing is perfect. It would have been lost had it been out there when lies being trotted on both sides of the Atlantic were taking root unchallenged.

Was it scripted? Of course it was.
Was she a child actor? She should be.

What do actors do? They act. As directed.

And finally did the message get through? I should think it did if O’Reilly takes on Youtube. And not forgetting of course the number of people that have viewed it.

Excellent craftsmanship.

Argue with the message, if you must.

I find Bill’s reply more dangerous and offensive than the original clip. Does a more arrogant and set-in-his-ways character exist on mainstream TV today?
Bill O Reilly single-handedly epitomizes everything I hate about Fox News.

Here’s one of my favourite Web sites.

I agree and i am sure Amir will.

Trying now to keep them innocent is a joke.

No Sahil. It’s called parenthood.

It was well-scripted, I doubt that she understood half what she said. In any case, I think it’s sad to use children to spout political messages.

The comments and responses even more so – as if that was possible.
