O'Reilly Bleeped Out In Fox News Pot Joke

The Fox News Channel has this delightfully mind-bending late night show called Red Eye, where stoners and insomniacs with acute anger management problems tune in to get pleasurably confused. It is maybe the best thing Fox News does! Anyway, on the December 10, edition, Red Eye's Greg Gutfield had High Times executive editor David Bienenstock on the show to talk about his magazine's latest offering, The Official Pot Smokers Handbook. Naturally, a delightful discussion followed! (Seriously! Bienenstock is CRAZY quick-witted.) And during the chataround, one of the people on the Red Eye panel quipped, "You know, Bill O'Reilly does not like it when you get into his personal stash." Only when the episode aired, the mention of O'Reilly's name was been bleeped out.

The question, of course, is, why? Is joking about Bill O'Reilly now entirely out of bounds at Fox? Or, does Bill O'Reilly really have a personal stash of evergreen that he doesn't want the rest of the network to know about? Actually, it's probably just that so many of the Fox higher-ups hate Bill so much and don't need any additional grief.

For what it's worth, I've always suspected that Red Eye's Andrew Levy probably has the best stash at the network.

If Bill O'Reilly has harrassed co-workers ! I am sure he is not beyond having smoked pot at one time What a FAKE !
Red Eye s--ks ! Greg Buttsewer ???

[SenzuriChampion]

How have I never heard of this show?

[LMPE]

Keith Olbermann used this on Worst Person in the World. It's as if Fox Noise thrives on that status.

[GeorgeKaplan]

All Censorship is stupid. This gets more play because they bleeped out "Big Head's" name.

[ENOS]

It's ironic that the Fox News Red Eye Show hosts sound like a bunch of laughing hyhenas campared to the Editor of High Times Magazine.

I knew O'Reilly was "rockin' the ganj'". He smokes it late at night then calls his female producers. He never remembers the next day what he did.

[JGatsby]

This is great but I don't share your enthusiasm for Red Eye. Its vulgar and stupid.

[UFGator4Obama]

Well seeing as everyone for the most part at Fixed News is paranoid and delusional, it wouldn't be surprising if they were rocking the bong.

[justoverit333]

well if O'Reilly doesn't have a personal
stash he needs to get one.

[rabiddog6708]

If only Faux News could bleep out Bill-O himself.

[EtherealFusion]

I normally hate watching Red Eye, but that segment wasn't too bad. Maybe it's because I really want that book for Christmas! ahha..

And yeah, really stupid that O'Riley's name was bleeped out. Come on, that was funny!

[MilesTone]

HuffPo, you've disappointed once again. This is a ridiculous article.

[SenzuriChampion]

heaven forbid!

[mathme]

Oh my god. That host sucks... I can barely stand it.

Tuning in to Fox "to get pleasurably confused"?! Confused maybe, but "pleasure" and "Fox News" really don't belong in the same sentence.

[lizziekw]

I love how eventually even the scum at Faux came to despise O'Reilly.

[bubbuh]

But, they still put him on the street.

Ratings.

Wow Jason, its not just headlines, you actually believe the hype!

Just yesterday your site was expounding how such a failure the Wolff book is and how it has sold nothing and how it's been defrauded and here you quote it to be true.

Do you REALLY think Murdoch hates O'Reilly?

Did you really read that Fox PR experiment?

Do you actually watch Red Eye (who's host made ethnic attacks when he used to blog here, yes republicans blog here too)

[11907281]

I always see you on here now and you rarely comment on the article or make sense, but I still support you right to free speech, no matter how incoherent!

[GeorgeP922]

Okay, let me speak in a language you can understand.

First, read the article above.

Jason references the debunked book about Rupert Murdoch as if it was true and not a PR autobiography. His site just had an article debunking it.
Murdoch isn't stupid, the book was a stunt to remove him from the Fox brand, he got tired of being mocked to sound like a pirate.

Red Eye, is republican love fest of a show. So I couldnt wrap my head around it by saying that "stoners" watch it at night.
You know how many republican stoners I know? Zero, cokeheads sure but no potheads.

Second, do you think we deserve some disclosure that the host, Greg Gutfield is a LONG time blogger on this site.

Thanks for respecting free speech, I respect education and research.
If you want the media to pull the rug over your eyes let them, they make big profits doing it.
