O'really O'Reilly

So I was VERY happy that on MONDAY the Sundance channel was showing the Al Franken Show. It's hard to get his radio show where I live because there's a nice big FM tower on the Prudential, which makes it hard to get AM.

I didn't realize what I was *truly* missing til last night( a mere 3 days after getting it back) when Franken ripped into O'Reilly. It seems the O'Reilly decided to monkey around with reality... and Franken naturally took umbrage.

O'Reilly had clips of Sen. Biden on his show from Biden's appearance on This week... but the FUN part is that Franken points out that it's CLIPS from the show, as O'Reilly cuts out part of Biden's interview... and Franken makes sure you know what O'Reilly cut. The funny part, which really pisses off Franken, was that O'Reilly then 'suggests' the same thing that Biden wants- an independent counsel to check up on Gitmo, but O'Reilly cut out Biden's suggestion for an independent counsel on his own show, and then passes the idea off as O'Reilly's own...

This story is on Franken's site- but just watching the clips on Sundance was worth my cable bill this month. It was really frightening what O'Reilly was doing with 'reality', and the fact that he's getting away with it, while Newsweek had to apologize up and down for THEIR 'unconfirmed' report of Koran abuse.
