The O’Asshole Factor

I’m glad that Media Matters has posted the best clip from O’Reilly and Krugman’s joint appearance on the CNBC Russert Show. Being extremely ill, I actually watched the whole thing, and this clip is basically how the entire thing went. O’Reilly lies through his teeth, Krugman catches him dead to rights, and then O’Reilly starts engaging in McCarthyite ad hominem attacks. (Note how he refuses to answer the question of what Media Matters had wrong.) It’s really something.

I can’t find the transcript on Lexis, but another classic is when O’Reilly claims that Fox is straight down the middle in its prime time lineup. You see, Van Sustern is a liberal, Colmes is a liberal, Hannity is a conservative, O’Lielly is a “traditionalist,” Shep Smith is nonpartisan, and Brit Hume…maybe leans slightly right. Needless to say, Russert sat with his thumb up his ass the whole time.
