The Impenetrable Fog of Bill O'Reilly
Nice editorial from the Chicago Tribune:
If intellectual dishonesty could be said to have a face, I saw it Tuesday evening as I watched Bill O'Reilly's program on Fox News.

And there was, in addition, captioning beneath the picture for hearing-impaired viewers--or people who happen to be in noisy bars.
O'Reilly was burned up about the mutilation and murders of those two American soldiers--Pfc. Thomas Tucker and Pfc. Kristian Menchaca--who were captured in Iraq by insurgents last week and whose bodies were retrieved Tuesday.
