Exposing O’Reilly

Exposing O’Reilly

Bill O’Reilly spinning the news? Shocked? Probably not. But if you needed more evidence of how O’Reilly misleads his viewers on a network that (laughingly) bills itself as “fair and balanced,” click here to see what happened to David Cole, a prominent Georgetown University Law professor and The Nation‘s legal correspondent, when he appeared on The O’Reilly Factor last week. (O’Reilly, by the way, told Cole that he would “never ever” be on his show again. “I wasn’t sure to take that as a threat or a promise,” Cole says.) Seems like the master of spin just can’t stand being exposed for what he is.
