Most of you (or, just Dennis, as I think he's the only one who reads this now) already know that I hate Bill O'Reilly with a passion so great it could split the freakin' red sea. He is a hypocrite and a liar, and his "no spin zone" is about as spin-free as my tumble-dryer.
But this... this has made me loathe the bastard even more.
A man kidnapped an 11 year old boy, and held him prisoner for 4 years, during which time he forcibly sodomized the child on a regular basis. Finally, the man is caught and the boy is returned to his frantic family. Tragic, right? What would the fair and balanced Bill O'Reilly have to say about this?
Well, apparently, the boy should have tried harder to escape. The fact that the boy didn't escape in the period of four years obviously means that the boy ENJOYED BEING ANALLY RAPED, and PREFERRED BEING ANALLY RAPED BY HIS KIDNAPPER THAN LIVING WITH HIS PARENTS AND BEING MADE TO GO TO SCHOOL.
Yes, that's right. The whole thing was the fault of the 11 year old rape victim. Evidently the only reason he couldn't escape was that he secretly enjoyed the rape and chose to stay with his rapist. Bill says he doesn't buy the psychological crap. If the boy wanted to leave, he would have left.
Later, when the rapist/kidnapper was convicted, good old Bill made a long speech about how sickening this type of crime is, and how the boy couldn't escape due to the psychological manipulation he suffered. Bill makes no mention to the fact that he previously blamed this same victim for the rapes and the kidnapping, and he makes no apology.
I must say, I feel sick. I feel even sicker knowing that FOX news choose not to pick O'Reilly up on this, effectively condoning this type of "journalism".

Bill O'Reilly doesn't seem live by any of the moral judgement inherent of the Christian teachings. Strange, huh?
You could start your blog posts with "Dear Dennis," :P
I always enjoy reading your blog posts. They are often quite thought provoking.
Dennis isn't the only reader among the rank of devoted readers. I find your opinionism quite interesting.
I don't think most people would take Fox news seriously any more. It's probably aimed at the easily enraged redneck or conservative.
Heh, perhaps my blog should always begin with "Dear Dennis and Jon" :P
And yeah, Bill O'Reilly is just a regular Christian in that respect, Dennis. He likes to point out the rules when someone else breaks them, but he can be a jerk all he likes. You know he actually said that Tiger Woods cheating was due to his Buddhism, and his refusal to convert to Christianity?
And yeah Jon, it is aimed at the rednecks, but the thing that bugs me is that it's the most watched channel in the US. That's a whole lotta rednecks.
