One Cheer for Bill O’Reilly
Bill O’Reilly’s new radio show is a monument to suckdom (the reason he deserves one star is that he isn’t as bad as Limbaugh). A typical O’Reilly tactic (which is what he does on his TV show) is to talk about being in a spin-free zone—and then to engage in blatant spin. Today, he pointed out that he is a political independent, not a Republican or a Democrat (click here to read why that claim is a joke). Yesterday, Mr. No-Spin was getting on Jesse Jackson for putting pressure on corporations to hire more minorities—claiming, like author Kenneth Timmerman, that it is a huge shakedown racket. I wonder if O’Reilly would be interested in taking on Sun Myung Moon’s charity scam racket (see my 6/4 blog). I doubt it.
