Rolling Stone: Mad Dog

There is a profile of the insidious and loathesome Bill O'Reilly in the latest Rolling Stone:

"Shut up!" and other deep thoughts from the angry mind of Bill O'Reilly. The truth about Fox News' number-one bigmouth.

Here's a taste:

"(The O'Reilly Factor is) In short, amazing TV -- the modern media equivalent of witnessing a Christian torn apart by lions, with a touch of opera buffo thrown in. (Boycott Canada?) It mattered not that most of what O'Reilly said bears no relation to the truth. The Paris Business Review doesn't exist, and the "billions" of dollars France supposedly lost reflect figures dating to the 2001 recession, predating by two years O'Reilly's call for a ban on buying French goods (since then, French exports to America have actually gone up)."

Personally, I think it's profoundly irresponsible the way O'Reilly, like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Coulter, make up facts and citations. Though I guess it's no more irresponsible than the same actions so regularly undertaken by the Bush administration.

And isn't such activity a violation of the 9th commandment? Well, perhaps that's a debatable point, but there is surely a place in Hell reserved for each and every one of them. Fucking liars.
