October 3, 2006 - Republican Child Predator Labeled 'Democrat' on O'Reilly Factor
We're not presumptuous enough to start
naming Keith Olbermann's Worst
Person in the World, but Christ, this one
ranks up there.
Tonight on three separate occasions,
during two different segments, Bill
O'Reilly showed video of his fellow
culture warrior, boy-crazy Congressman
Mark Foley, with the tagline "Former
Congressman Mark Foley (D-FL)."
That’s right, kids. Mark Foley, that
darling of the right and champion of
naming Keith Olbermann's Worst
Person in the World, but Christ, this one
ranks up there.

That’s right, kids. Mark Foley, that
darling of the right and champion of
child protection, was dubbed a Democrat as soon as it came out that he's child predator.
This is what we in the business call "a lucky accident."
But will the average Fox News viewer see the three-time accident for what it is—a mistake?
Consider that, according to the Columbia Journalism Review and Program on International
Policy Attitudes (PIPA) Research Center, Fox News viewers have far more misconceptions
on such important issues as Iraq's involvement in the 9/11 attacks than viewers of other
networks. Consider also that the average O'Reilly viewer is 71. And that’s just an average.
So for every 30-year-old Factor fan, there's a 112-year-old screaming about "secular
progressives" and whomever else has criticized Bill.
So we can promise you that the average O'Reilly fan is sleeping well tonight with the
knowledge that the creep in Florida who was trying to bed boy pages was a Democrat after all.
