Fox news — always right, sometimes correct

Lawrence Lessig has a good post on Bill O'Reilly's disgrace of a show. Watch the video. It frightens me to think that thousands and thousands of people watch this garbage on a daily basis, completely oblivious to the fact that it is perverse, twisted propaganda. The venom in O'Reilly's eyes while he is conducting this interview is shocking to me, but sadly, I know it doesn't shock everyone. It highlights how incredibly divided the country has become since 9/11, where shouting matches are substituted for calm discussion, and valid arguments are dismissed out-of-hand because they are inconsistent with the fear and hatred that has been injected into too many people's veins.
