P. T. Barnum, the Barnum in “Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus,” once said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
Last night in that center-ring of suckerdom - Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” - two-bit ticketholders got their money’s worth.
Under the guise of arguing the issues of “illegal immigration” v. “drunk driving,” host Bill O’Reilly and another Fox News “star” Geraldo Rivera put on a show of screaming, scripted screed which almost came to fisticuffs.
You could hear the faithful yelling, “Hit him, Bill!”
Cued to what the good folks at “News Hounds” (LINK) – “We watch Fox so you don’t have to” – called “a tasteless show of journalistic ambulance chasing,” I checked out the “Factor’s” 11 p.m. ET rerun.
These two numbnuts used the tragic deaths of two teenagers to put on a ratings-grabbing display of pugilistic pettiness.
And, I almost fell off the couch laughing, when the duo calmed down, and Rivera called the “event” proof that “Fox News is fair and balanced.” In a pig’s eye!
The whole charade would have made P. T. Barnum proud!
“Step right up, folks, see the tabloid goon and the egotisitical gasbag duke it out!”
Pass the popcorn, Bubba, here’s the VIDEO.
