Watters World Vs. Atheist, UnCut by FOX
Compare this and other Reason Rally videos with the piece broadcast by FOX. The link to the FOX Piece is below. Jesse Watters, a segment producer for Bill O'Reilly at Fox News, interviews Reason Rally participants. Watters, based in NYC, traveled to the Reason Rally in Washington, DC, and conducted interviews with two cameras on approximately 40 Reason attendees over three days. Watters will literally atomize the interviews - pulling a word here and a sentence there, inter-cut with comedy or horror film clips for editorial emphasis. The final piece will not necessarily reflect the intent of any of those interviewed but rather Watters's impression of the issue, within the bounds of O'Reilly and Fox News editorial policy.
The person being interviewed is KidDirty333, who has left plenty of comments in this YouTube comment section.
He has written, "... Jesse and Bill made a stupid mashup with movie quotes as their humorous "retorts" to our words, but I wasn't that unhappy with what they came up with. A real news agency with the intent of airing a piece dealing with the subject matter might have aired parts of some of the actual interviews, but..."

"Watters' World Segment
Factor producer takes on an atheist rally
Guest: Jesse Watters
Factor producer Jesse Watters spent last weekend at a gathering of atheists in Washington. A few of them opined on what happens when we die: "How can I be worried about something I don't believe in?" ... "When you die you're going to be dead" ... "I'm really hoping I can be a skeleton in a science lab so I can hang around naked." They also had some thoughts on how we got here to begin with: "An amalgamation of matter due to gravity that collected on itself" ... "Evolution, big bang" ... "We don't necessarily know how life exactly started. But if every time we were stumped in science about something that bugged us and we just threw up our hands and said, 'Oh, God did did,' we'd still be in the Stone Age." Back in the studio, Watters reported that a few of the atheists were less than friendly. "They were heckling me," he said, "but I was raised as a Quaker, and I believe in non-violence, so I didn't knock anybody's head off. These were hard-core activists - when they withdraw money from the ATM, they take the bill and cross out 'In God We Trust.'" Factor Follow-Up Segment "
