Crazy Like A Fox: Chapter Eight

“The O’Reilly Factor”
Day Four
Thursday’s “Factor” was canceled for the non-partisan (or was it bi-partisan) lovefest at Ground Zero, so my week of O’Reilly viewing was truncated by a day. Forgive the lateness in posting my take on Friday’s installment, but I was… well… attempting to have a life.
O’Reilly introduced his show by discussing what he [...]

The O’Reilly Factor

Day Three
Regarding the “lipstick” scandal, those who do not watch Fox News might be shocked to discover O’Reilly does not believe Obama was intentionally smearing Sarah Palin when he referenced putting lipstick on a pig.

Chapter One: “Fox News Sunday”
To the best of my recollection, I have never watched an entire episode of “Fox News Sunday” until this afternoon. I have seen host Chris Wallace make appearances on other programs, but I’ve not caught his act as host (or, as some would prefer, moderator).
Before I review the show itself, allow [...]
