So, it's not just me
This week saw the meeting of two of the most opposing voices on television: Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and "The Daily Show"'s Jon Stewart. Unfortunately, the debate was over something of a non-issue (Rap artist Common visiting the White House for a poetry reading) but it was a tense discussion nonetheless.
But let's get down to brass tacks: who really won the debate? If you wander over to Bill O'Reilly's website and click on the poll results for the debate, you might be surprised at what you see. According to O'Reilly's own visitors, Stewart crushed him with a whopping 79% of the vote. And this is from O'Reilly's website. Overall, it would be well over 95% that would say Stewart, the thinking person's newsman, crushed the FOX shill. Not a big surprise. What is a surprise is that O'Reilly would debate over such a stupid issue. FOX took lyrics out of context, then complained when someone noticed it. This same result could be repeated, ad infinitum, if FOX allowed an intelligent debate on all the crap they spew, BUT, I doubt if they're gonna make that mistake, again, anytime soon. Don't wanna rile up the sheep, who actually believe their crap.
