I'm sad to know that Gordon Shumway has sunk so low that he feels it's a step up to do O'Reilly's show.
As one of Bill's so-called "secuar progressives", I find his antics completely humorless. We have to remember: there ARE people out there who take this schmuck seriously and buy in to his insane rantings. This is the exact same thing I said about Flush Limburgher (Rush Limbaugh) in the early days when he was on our local talk radio station. My co-workers just laughed and said "He's entertainment... nobody can take him seriously."
But people DID take him seriously. And his kind of warped messaging has infiltrated the whole of news and entertainment. He wasn't the first, but he certainly was a significant influence.
If you ever want to hear me go on a REAL tear sometime, get me started on the subject of the Fairness In Broadcasting Doctrine and the sale of our American airwaves to private corporations. We've been robbed, folks.
