A video blogger by the name of "roberwter" recently posted a video (on YouTube.com) of daily life in Amsterdam which contradicted the false claims by Bill O'Reilly and guest Margaret Hoover that Amsterdam is a city of crime, drugs and anarchy.

I wouldn't necessarily write that those two people represent [all] Americans even when it's clear that they've not visited Amsterdam. Either that, or they're hoping most of their audience have never traveled to Amsterdam ...
It's Mr. O'Reilly's job to provoke and bait his audience albeit, in this instance, he comes across a tad ill-informed!

I've caught him more than once ill informed. Today he made the statement that in Canada we don't have hyphenated Canadians. I wonder what a French-Canadian, English-Canadian, German-Canadian, Italian-Canadian, you get the point, is.
He has constantly put down NATO troops in Afghanistan too. An issue I finally had enough of. I send him an e-mail telling him that his rhetoric was insulting to Canadians and British who have buried their soldiers very publicly. It's one thing to bait your audience, it's another when you know some of that audience is outside of the US and you insult it.
It's hard to believe that The Factor is the No.1 Cable show. But I guess he is free entertainment.

The video is a great fact-based rebuttal of Bill O'Reilly's idiotic anti-propaganda. Being Dutch I unfortunately know that the current government (moralist Christian) is doing its utmost best to reverse all kinds of working policies in a low-profile sneaky way. Fox would be proud of them. The rest of the Netherlands are not.

Seriously, bill o'reilly is an idiot, and the people who believe his negative stories are even more ignorant than he is. Please someone have him point out Holland on the map. He may tell you that Amsterdam is not in Holland. Having lived in DC those comments are not new to me. Maybe some Americans should get educated on the world around them before they even speak or just shutup and crawl back under the stone they call home.
