What a huge story.

At least you got your feelings out about the most popular broadcaster on tv.

If someone ran up to me I'd be leery, as well.

Your own story says it was windy enough that the umbrella was whipped inside out, that a policeman was there and didn't apparently see anything O'Reilly did as wrong.

Great opinion piece disguised as "news".

You should start a political blog and put this type of stuff there, imo.

Imagine how politely the crews of Inside Edition must have approached their prey when O'Reilly worked for that heap of dung.

Next to the politician and the fundamentalist thumper, it is hard to find a creature on the planet more odious than the media pundit.

Moral of the story is to not run up to a crazy man carrying an umbrella. How can you know if any person you do not know is not a crazy with a knife, or a gun, or a grenade? I guess I can use that defense to do anything I want now that precedence has been set ;^)

Eh, this really isn't an article that should be on your blog Carlos. It's barely related to photography rights. Sometimes posting nothing is better than posting garbage.

"There should be a law"

There is Bill, its called the Constitution, would you like me to send you a copy..

And you are a celebrity which means you have fewer rights in most cases.. You ability to win a libel or slander case is substantially harder..

As it is there are too many laws.. And somehow I just don't see how you could write a law to handle this case that would survive 10 seconds in court.

Ok I just watched the video again and it's actually pretty darned funny!
Thanks to the officer for having the composure not to arrest the journalist just because a big shot told him to.

What a thin skin. O'Reilly sends his producer to video ambush people all the time.

It's apparent Bill O'Reilly is a liar, wimp, and a hypocrite. Startled my a**.... he just didn't want to be on a camera he couldn't control. Woe is me!

The LT didn't take it further because no crime was committed!

This story illustrates the main reason to not be famous. Fame is always a liability; fortune often is too.

Carlos - Your assumptive-ness is embarrassing, frankly. YOU are the original poster taking a left wing jab at O'Reilly in your post.

YOU then apparently are frustrated by people who have a different view expressing their opinion.

You are all for freedom of speech, right? Mine, yours, O'Reilly's?

As for Olberman, I support anyone I agree with, regardless of Party. I am not aligned to anyone or any party. I support Maddow in her aggressive tear down of Obama yesterday:

I find it so humorous that liberals think that republicans or the right wing are anti-free speech. Ever heard of the fairness doctrine? Hmmmm, which party supports this?

Unions are all about freedom of speech, right? LOL. Which party supports the unions?

Liberals stand on the constitution, when it fits their needs. Right to freedom of speech, an abortion, etc. But forget that silly second amendment. You either accept all of the constitution or none. One cannot cherry pick what amendments or parts of the constitution they like.

Liberals are all about regulations and rules, having the government make the world a safer and better place, in the governments eyes. Republicans are all about having as little government in one's life as reasonably possible.

Carlos, it is your blog and it is usually one of the first sites I visit. Thanks for what you do. Please remember that it is always much easier for people to sit back and criticize something that others have accomplished rather than to actively do or create something themselves. You create and they whine.

I am an independent voter with generally left of center views and I am constantly amazed at how people react to non-political events or writings by acting as if everything has to be defended in terms of extreme, radical and emotional "left" or "right" absolutism. I wonder about their lack of tolerance and their personal insecurity and how it makes them politicize everything in extreme terms. I agree that O'Reilly is an absurdly arrogant and overbearing personality who presents more opinion than fact. I also agree tha Olbermann can be "over the top" but that his presentations are not totally devoid of facts or logic... Your original article appeared to be about an event involving how O'Reilly reacted in a non-political occurrance and without comment or judgement by you as to politics, so I find it amusing that your more extreme readers took it as a political attack.

It is also sad to see that people with such vitriolic and extreme reactions hide behind cute little names. If they were intellectually honest and emotionally secure then they would be brave enough to use their real names.

Thanks for your service and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Tom Jannusch

Looks to me like he was putting his umbrella in place to block the camera and the wind flipped it, which made it hit the camera.

The article is related to photography's rights and this is what the blog is about. No need for raaders to be upset when they do not agreed with and article......

Come on folks, lighten up! It's Carlos' blog and he can do whatever he wants. I am thankful SOMEone is posting all this shit the cops are pulling on those who want to document them. It is important as HELL. If they block us from this, what's next? We must have proof of their illegal doings. If that means the occasional humorous "non-photographic" jab at one of the biggest assholes in the world, so be it! Anyway,O'reilly is not to be taken seriously by anyone who can think. He's just a moron. Washington, D.C. has many of them.
Nothing to see here folks, move on.
