Last night's episode of the O'Reilly Factor featured a debate between Bill O'Reilly and Michael Scheuer, a former CIA agent whom O'Reilly described as knowing more about Osama Bin Laden than anyone the planet. Scheuer took the position that celebrities like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie are helping Bin Laden by bringing attention to the travesties being committed in the Sudan.

But if anyone is helping Bin Laden, it is Scheuer himself, and his host Bill O'Reilly.

[Reposted from Friday, 12/17/2010, with an update and the hope that we can reverse this despicable decision on the part of CNN]

CNN Tea Party CNN, the once dominant and comparatively respectable cable news network, seems determined to destroy whatever shreds are left of its credibility. They announced last Friday that they will be partnering with the Tea Party Express for a Republican presidential primary debate in September of 2011.

CNN Tea Party CNN, the once dominant and comparatively respectable cable news network, seems determined to destroy whatever shreds are left of its credibility. They announced this morning that they will be partnering with the Tea Party Express for a Republican primary debate in September of 2011.

Generally when a media organization chooses to co-host a primary campaign event they go with the party apparatus or a non-partisan group like the League of Women Voters.

That's clearly not the case this time.

Idiot Fox Yet another study has been released that proves that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What's more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.

So the more you watch, the less you know. Or to be precise, the more you think you know that is actually false.

It has been a little more than a month since the mid-term elections. Voters, fueled by anger and dissatisfaction with the progress of the economic recovery, drove the majority Democrats from power and placed a sort of blind faith in the Republicans who put us into this stubborn recession in the first place. And even though the change in party control has not yet taken place there is a noticeable change in the nation's political mood. Have you seen it?

Glenn Beck: There Will Be Blood While Glenn Beck scoffs at the notion that his followers would ever harm anyone, his followers keep proving him wrong. This time it's an Idaho man who has now pleaded guilty to federal gun charges and manufacturing grenades.

"Kenneth B. Kimbley Jr., 58, discussed bombing local bridges with an undercover federal agent and made threatening statements toward President Barack Obama, leading investigators last July to seize 20,000 ammunition rounds and several firearms from Kimbley's property, where he and other suspected militia members gathered to construct grenades, according to court documents."

If there is one thing for which Glenn Beck deserves some measure of credit, it is his ability to promote himself and inflate his influence on the media, and in society, outside of all proportion to reality. The way he is portrayed in the press would give a neutral observer the impression that he is the most beloved public figure in the country with a growing following that dwarfs his contemporaries.

Of course the truth is that Beck is hated as much as he is loved. And in most polls the highest percentage of respondents are those that have no opinion or haven't even heard of him.

The release of some 250,000 documents by WikiLeaks has stirred up a hornets nest of protest from the rightist martinets of virtue. There have been calls to shut down the WikiLeaks web site, to arrest its principals, and even to execute those responsible for treason. But what it all amounts to in the end is that the right-wing extremists just simply abhor a free press.

Last week the blogiverse had a field day with Sarah Palin's gaffe wherein she told Glenn Beck that we must stand with our "North" Korean allies. It was a rather trivial spurt of mockery that was more entertainment than news.

Palin's reaction, however, was a massive escalation that revealed her acute sensitivity to criticism. In fact, her reaction tells us much more about her than the gaffe that started it all.

Grand Old Tea Party Despite all the evidence of repeated surveys, the media continues to treat the Tea Party as if it were an influential player in contemporary politics. They salivate at plastering their pages and airwaves with red-meat melodrama that lacks relevance or substance. That's how they end up so pathetically far off course whenever another poll is taken that casts the Tea Party in a realistic light. And that's what the Associated Press just did:

Tea party backers fashion themselves as "we the people," but polls show the Republican Party's most conservative and energized voters are hardly your average crowd.

The present state of the American political process is in dire distress. In order to even contemplate running for any federal or statewide office, a potential candidate must have access to sums of money in amounts that either prevent participation or invite corruption. And if there's one thing that Washington doesn't need it's invitations to be corrupt.

These are boom days for conspiracy theories. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. And who do you think killed the cat? Hmm?

We've seen the Birthers who demand to see President Obama's birth certificate. We've seen the Truthers who allege that the U.S. government was in on 9/11. We've seen the Tenthers who cite the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution as justification for declaring everything from health care to income taxes as unconstitutional.

Add one more to the list...
