FOX-TV’s Bill O’Reilly, Megyn Kelly mocks transgender inmate’s appearance

FOX-TV hosts mock trans people

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — In some ways, Bill O’Reilly, a commentator for FOX News and host of The O’Reilly Factor has outed himself by revealing he does not research facts before he speaks — O’Reilly did not even know transgender inmate Michelle Kosilek had yet to have the sex reassignment surgery she won in a court case until after he unloaded on her. It was co-host Megyn Kelly who noted that Kosilek did not have the surgery, however, she also participate in the transphobic barrage on Kosilek.

Kosilek, of course, is the Massachusetts prisoner, who recent won a court ruling on her “cruel and unusual punishment” claim. Read more about that here: http://lexiecannes.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/transgender-inmates-lawyers-to-get-700k-in-denying-srs-is-cruel-and-unusual-punishment-case/

I’m going to spare everyone the what was specifically said on the show but I do want to reaffirm for every one of the fact that FOX-TV and Bill O’Reilly, will mock, shock and exploit transgender people to make money for themselves. Sadly, this now includes Megyn Kelly.

Regular readers know the consequences of this transphobic behavior is devastating for trans people.

Don’t let your friends tune to FOX News. The life you save may be of someone you know.

Bill O’Reilly takes pot shot at transgender people over Glee storyline

Bill O'Reilly

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — No surprise here, really. Promoting fear for ratings is just part of the game for O’Reilly. In fact, he’s probably already moved on beyond this, planning his next topic to exploit for ratings.

If anyone of you reading this is still watching Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, right now would be a good time to quit, especially if you watch online. Ratings are easily measured online, so let’s not contribute to keeping him on the air.

From Media Matters: “Throughout the [O'Reilly Factor] segment, O’Reilly and [Gretchen] Carlson criticized Glee for encouraging “dopey kids” to experiment with homosexuality and possibly identify as transgender, comparing LGBT youth to smokers and “drug-fueled” celebrities.”

“Dopey kids”, huh? C’mon Bill, have a political debate with Al Franken or something . . . anything besides exploiting trans kids. Didn’t you learn anything last year when your fear mongering about Chas Bono backfired and a boatload of professionals put you in your place over the lack of evidence supporting your claims? No, I guess not.

If you MUST watch O’Reilly, watch the classic “We’ll Do It Live” remix instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j2YDq6FkVE

Nothing to see, move along.
