O’Reilly is just making the same mistake a lot of (bad) journalists make- relying on what he has heard about FR and not his own research.
Of course if he spent the amount of time I have ‘researching’ FR he would not have a show... freeping is my daily habit
O'Reilly doesn't research much of anything that he reports/bloviates/pontificates about. Whenever Medea Benjamin or any other Code Pink traitors is on the show with him, he tosses marshmallow questions at them.
Either he is supremely stupid, supremely ill-informed, supremely ill-prepared or he is thinking about how he can hit on the Pinko broads.
...that and the fact that he has become too enamored with himself. What a fool!
