I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me Better Than Bill O’Reilly
Steve Silver sums up my feelings about Al Franken’s new book and the cowardly response by Faux News. Citing Franken’s lack of funniness as a reason to sue him over his use of Fair and Balanced? Fox News has given up its right to ever deride frivilous lawsuits.
For someone who dishes it out more than just about anyone on TV, Bill O’Reilly sure as hell can’t take it. Outside of his show (when he can–and does–yell “cut the mike” when someone is outarguing him), O’Reilly has proven to be quite a poor debater. And the right once again proves that it’s fine for large corporations to do the same things they can’t stand individuals doing (murder someone? You get the chair. Screw millions out of their life savings? Eh, we’ll “conduct an investigation”).
