So, O’Reilly slammed Jennifer Aniston’s new movie “The Switch,” in the video below. Which makes complete sense, when you think about it. Bill O’Reilly is globally known for his expertise on chick flicks starring former sitcom sweethearts. But what many do not know is the psychological affliction this clip supports in diagnosing a troubling disease. The sickness: “motivated cognition,” or a tendency to bias an interpretation of a situation to fit one’s own version of the world he or she wishes to believe is true (for further definition, see Kanye West.)
There should be no questioning the motivations of this movie, and yet people speculate. Or expectorate. Whichever. This study has found several people, like Bill O’Reilly, constantly attempting to polarize situations in the news, both political and social, to push their narrow-minded principles like fecal matter through a PLAY-DOH fun factory playset. And the most interesting phenomenon is, whenever a person afflicted with “motivated cognition” (MC) is presented with facts or opinions contradictory to his or her outlook, he or she becomes even more convinced of previous existing beliefs, creating this false sense of equilibrium that is in fact, nonexistent. FOX News, in that respect, can be viewed as the Danvers Asylum of televised journalism. The most famous example of this type of delusion is Bill O’Reilly presenting his biased journalism as “impartial.”
Like any mental affliction, MC, also known by its common name, journalism insanity, is not something afflicting the patient 24/7. So a sane observer can see a glimmer of real-world understanding by the patient (note O’Reilly having no delusional episode when expressing concern that men are under appreciated and their importance in a family with children isn’t emphasized enough in our society.) Yet, no sane statement from Bill O’Reilly can stand alone without an recurrent pathological abnormal tick of insanity, as O’Reilly’s asserts that single women having children is “not optimum.” But it is grossly unfair to fault him for that mental spasm. Even though the phrase “not optimum” blatantly screams incoherency, we have to remember that it is an opinion born of acute mental illness that is improperly treated by the medical staff at FOX Asylum.
For those sensitive readers who still feel disheartened by the babbling of a sick man, this is for you: Most of us know there are thousands of women who support single motherhood. Those women are not brought down by the crazytalk of a FOX NEWS ASYLUM patient. For manywomen at Aniston’s age, having children while single is the best route for them. Especially when that percentage of women are afflicted with advanced hypermasculine deficiency (the final stage of the horrible defect some women suffer from birth called “shrewicitis.”) But this is a condition best left for observation by professionals in that particular medical field.
Focusing back on Bill O’Reilly, we can also note a psychological demonetization of Jennifer Aniston for making an allegedly poignant movie that speaks pointedly at preteens with a subliminal, ulterior agenda that implies an inadequacy all men have as fathers. This is a fascinating evolution of “daddy syndrome” once only found to afflict young women raised in fatherless homes, now can clearly be observed devastating the mind of a father (side note: O’Reilly is a father of two, a son and a daughter.)
Oh, but don’t think Billy O is the only nutjob I’m here to poke fun at. A secondary subject worthy of medical observation said, “[y]oung people do not have the [cognoscibility] to know the difference between a 40-year-old woman who’s financially stable having a child, and a 16-year old having a child.” Okay! We see an interesting projection of one woman’s thought process onto the female pre-teen population. It’s a form of denial where one attempts to place one’s own misunderstanding into the heads of others, in order to avoid attention to her own symptoms. This subject has also been known to point at a brunette and call her blonde in an attempt to draw attention away from her own idiocy. She’s one of our special case subjects, so it was vital to put her in a discussion with O’Reilly for scientific study.
In a special one on one with the patients, highly qualified doctors did attempt to present ideas to them in order to measure the reactions. Ideas such as: “It’s not Aniston’s responsibility to teach young girls when having children is the appropriate time.” And, “a mentally healthy person knows Aniston’s job is to make movies that set a strong example for very young women that men are just heartless sperm donors who will marry you one day, leave you for someone sexier the next, and the only way for a girl to truly find happiness is to get herself knocked up by a turkey baster at a house party after your best friend makes a poor decision while drunk.” The results were mixed, but the conclusion was that only crazy people think that it’s Aniston’s responsibility to teach twelve and thirteen year old girls to become part of a teen pregnancy statistic. It was also noted that only a crazy person would believe that preteen girls cannot discern the difference between themselves and Jennifer Aniston.
Okay, I realize I ran way to far with this fake psychologist b.s. So I have wrap this up seriously, by asking in lieu of yet another of the O’Reilly Factor’s unnecessary collywobbles, if a woman says, “I am woman, hear me roar,” does that equal “all men are as meek as mice?” Bill O’Reilly may have a right to feel for the father’s out there who are, as he said, “getting hosed.” But he shouldn’t misconstrue the right of a woman to have children on her own to be somehow degrading to his sex. The two are not mutually exclusive. Woman having power does not mean men lose it. Women being single mothers does not equal men are all weak and pathetic fathers. Where’s that balance his show boasts? It’s imaginary. Once again, O’Reilly took a situation in the media and twisted it to suit his own prejudice. It’s unsettling how many people believe him to be this great, neutral voice in journalism. He’s a misleading fraud, and more of a danger to society than he claims Jennifer Aniston to be. I vote we institutionalize him and treat him for delirium.
