Associated Press: Comedy Central Refutes O'Reilly's Claim
Apparently that HUGE asshole Bill O'Reilly has been poking fun at the Daily Show and its audience. And, once again, he has been factchecked (snap!).
The gist: O'Reilly has been referring to viewers of the Daily Show as "stoned slackers," but according to Nielsen Media Research, viewers of Jon Stewart's show are actually more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch "The O'Reilly Factor." Take that, lying liar number two (after Limbaugh).
Here's what O'Reilly said (to Jon Stewart himself):
"You know what's really frightening? You actually have an influence on this presidential election. That is scary, but it's true. You've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night and they can vote."
Actually, that piece of shit O'Reilly IS correct that the Daily Show is having an effect on the election. But he's 100% INcorrect in chracterizing the show as dopey. Hell, it's FAR from dopey. It very astute satire, in fact. But then, O'Reilly probably doesn't get it. You have to keep up with the news and opinion and the media to get most of their stuff, and O'Reilly just makes shit up as he goes along. Why, I bet he couldn't name five supreme court justices, the ugly-ass motherfucker.
But like I said, the Daily Show IS having an effect. I think you're seeing it in the few examples of factchecking on the part of mainstream journalists, something that they had seemingly been loathe to do in the recent past. And this, I think, is because the Daily Show HAS been doing it, and this has made the mainstream media look very bad. People (and journalists) watch the Daily Show and wonder why they don't hear the truth, or at least evaluation of the truth of public statements, in the mainstream media. Why are only Jon Stewart and David Letterman the only ones asking the tough questions, they wonder?
So, yeah, Bill O'Reilly, you gigantic-headed pile of pus, you had better be scared. Because that "dopey show" is inspiring journalists to grow a pair, collectively, and start doing more than simply reporting attacks. And the scariest, for O'Reilly and the other lying liars is that this means that their days are numbered. If the Daily Show succeeds in shaming journalists into doing their jobs again, there'll be no place for liars like O'Reilly to hide from that strongest of disinfectants: the light of day.
