Bill O’Reilly: iPods Bad for America
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Bill O'Reilly, well known for his The O'Reilly Factor TV and radio shows, says the iPod is "going to have a staggeringly negative effect" on the United States. In a recent Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, he took on both the iPod and Sony PS3, according to GamePolitics.com.
On the iPod, Mr. O'Reilly said "I don't own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod... If this is your primary focus in life - the machines... it's going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America... did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They're not playing the video games. They're killing real people over there."
It seems Mr. O'Reilly is so passionate about his anti-iPod sentiments that it prevented him from speaking in complete sentences.
Premium subscribers on Mr. O'Reilly's Web site were probably surprised by his comments. Many likely heard what he had to say about their portable media player of choice while listening to his podcast - a podcast they pay for.

On video games, he says that the PS3 and other gaming systems are leading to poverty and a lack of skills necessary to get a job. Ironically, the very technology he is complaining about is used to help train U.S. soldiers in various ways for combat.
If Mr. O'Reilly is correct, and the iPod is a tool of jihadists, then his own listeners are now faced with an interesting choice: Listen to his podcasts and help terrorists - or don't, and help America.
