O’Reilly then directed his animosity towards networks at Fox News rival CNN.
“After Murdoch announced he was stepping down as chairman, CNN ran a montage, and the montage was designed to have their audience believe that Fox News is racist,” O’Reilly said, to which Carlson interjected in a mocking tone, “You were in the montage. Racist!”
“So, what they did was took a bunch of clips, maybe ten clips, and one of the clips was me saying that slaves were well-fed and had decent housing,” O’Reilly continued. “That’s all they used. This is primetime CNN.”
O’Reilly later insisted that frame jobs were an example of “evil” at work.
