Foxy

O'Reilly's getting nuts. Just the mention of one of his critics/adversaries was enough to get him to threaten a caller with a "visit" from Fox security. Check it out:

A caller simply mentioned Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC (Olbermann has called O'Reilly the "worst person in the world"), and immediately, O'Reilly just flew off the handle and said that anyone calling his show and saying anything "untoward" or "obscene" would be "held accountable."

So O'Reilly thinks Fox has the power to just cart people off and shut them up. Huh. Fair and Balanced. Yup. That's Fox, all right.

And though it may seem redundant to keep harping on about the unbelievable incompetence and truthiness going on at Fox, here's another one that just boggles the mind:

Sean Hannity claimed the other night that everyone being held at Guantanamo is there for a damn good reason.

I'm sorry, Sean, I didn't realize you were privy to the most intimate details of military detention. Does the Pentagon have a direct line to you? Oops, guess so.

Okay, Sean, if they're all there for a good reason, then why should the administration bother denying them all council and opening themselves up to the host of civil suits they're now facing because of their Geneva Convention violations? And why has the U.S. government openly apologized for a number of mistakes and wrongly detained Muslims? And, and, and...

Jesus Christ, Sean. I mean, as a journalist, how can you unilaterally claim to know something that you can't possibly know for certain?
