I don't generally watch The Oh Really(?) Factory on the Faux News Channel. Come to think of it, mostly I see clips of it on Countdown. But I had always wondered why there is this continous stream of print next to Bill's talking head on the screen of my television.
Finally it struck me! Mr O'Reilly must have concluded that his fans are poor readers. By doing it this way, they will eventually be able to recognize some of the words.
He even gets them wrong sometimes, just to see if they are paying attention.
What a guy!

Hi, Emily -- for those of us who are not sympathetic to O'Reilly's "approach," it's interesting to consider the good or harm that might be done by having Democratic candidates engage with him. Is it "worth" it? In the spirit of outreach, it will be interesting to see if Obama makes this move. On the other hand, appearing on "faux" shows like that legitimizes what many of us find to be really lamentable journalistic standards.
Hmmmmm...
