Well that worked! Alleged “natural-born citizen” Donald Trump, if that is his real name, has been appearing on Fox for the past few weeks to say increasingly ridiculous things about President Obama’s birth and Muslims and the like, a sort of unpaid Fox contributor internship. But now, thanks to his good performance, he has been [...]
Bill O’Reilly had Glenn Beck on his show last night, and he seems threatened that Beck sees no reason to cover culture-war issues and very threatened that Beck doesn’t care if gay marriage is legalized. “Do you believe — do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?” O’Reilly [...]
