Bag-o-douche of the second: Bill O'Reilly

During the May 23 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly asserted that "many Americans ages 18 to 24 have no idea what's going on," stating that they "get their news from Comedy Central host Jon Stewart and their point of view from bomb-throwing entertainers."

He self-righteously states this, while all the evidence proves otherwise.

In fact, studies have shown that viewers of Comedy Central's The Daily Show with John Stewart are consistently better informed about current events than consumers of other media, and Daily Show viewers are considerably better educated than viewers of The O'Reilly Factor.

In 2004, the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center released its National Annenberg Election Survey, which found Daily Show viewers to be better informed on campaign issues than consumers of other late-night television programs, newspapers, network news, or cable news.

Also, according to CNN, Nielsen Media Research statistics show that when directly compared with O'Reilly Factor viewers, "Stewart's viewers are not only smart, but more educated than O'Reilly's.":

• Daily Show" viewers are 78 percent more likely than the average adult to have four or more years of college education, while O'Reilly's audience is only 24 percent more likely to have that much schooling.

Additionally, an October 2003 study conducted by the University of Maryland's Program on International Policy (PIPA) found Fox News viewers were "significantly more likely to have misperceptions" about the Iraq war than all other media consumers.

And during Stewart's appearance on the September 17, 2004, edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly told Stewart that his Daily Show viewers were "stoned slackers" and "dopey kids," and declared it was "really frightening" that Stewart actually had "an influence on this presidential election."

This may be attributed to delusional thinking, perhaps his boy Rush gave him too many Oxy's?

Or he is simply projecting the truth of his audience onto Stewart's. Either way, he's just nuts.

O'Reilly is nothing more than a sexually harrassing blow-hard who prides himself on degrading women, dismissing and attacking anyone who disagrees with his hate-politics and apppointing himself to a standard he so obviously does not deserve.
