Power of the press

good letter...i dont think he'll care enough, and not sure what side he would fall on, but it was well reasoned, supplied good info.

Bill O'Reilly would most certainly not be at all outraged by this legislation. He would be excesively concerned about kids and moral degenerates on the internet.
He would be more likely to tell those who are upset that they can't internet-gamble that they should stop whining about it and find something better to do with their time such as supporting their family or spending time with their kids.

This is the angle that O'Reilly generally tends towards. Although I admit I have not heard him speak specifically about internet-gambling.


Fox News proclaims they are the most powerful name in news.
I'm not sure that Bill O'Reilly says this about himself.

If he does say this then it most certainly is not true.

Umm, I am sure O'Reilly would be anti-gambling to cater to his fanboy conservative base; and then proceed to sexually harass coworkers.

I was listening to NPR (prob the only 22 year old that does) today and a guy was on and he basically said this would just drive people to use "underground" banking sources and just make it harder for the U.S. to track money laundering. He said that the "moral" anti-gambling people may think they have a victory but in actuality the have created a much larger problem.

So I guess it is not just poker players who think this bill is BS!

My apologies to the Poker Community. I single handedly ruined any chance of this law being overturned because I sent an email to Bill O'Reilly at Foxnews. Please forgive me! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Bill O'Reilly is a tool. But hey, if he can help out the cause, go for it. Good letter.

[JOHNY CA$H]

Yeah man, you're moving in the right direction, for sure. Send it to a few ppl who ARE NOT rightwing nutjobs, and you might see some reaction! (I don't say this to be sarcastic or condescending- I think you're doing a great job. I just hate Bill O'Reilly and Fox in general, and feel fairly certain they will tout the Party line).
