On the TV Monday night: Bill O’Reilly loses his sanity, claiming that George Soros is bankrolling Media Matters for America. except, he doesn’t (not that there would be anything wrong with him doing so anyway).
O’Reilly is pretty big on tossing around some very serious accusations without even a shred of proof, except to say he has “proof beyond a reasonable doubt”. It would be interesting to know what he bases this “proof” on, though.
Also, Sirota notes the irony of O’Reilly condemning Soros’ role in influencing elections when his billionaire boss Rupert Murdoch does exactly that while owning the major news outlet Fox News.
