Shut Up! Just Shut Up!

I've got a bunch of links here, so just follow along and I guarantee you'll be amused.

Right, so here we go:  On April 19th, the Globe and Mail's television columnist, John Doyle, wrote an article about people who are attempting to get the Fox News channel broadcast in Canada.  Mr. Doyle was all for it, believing that we Canadians needed to see this channel so we could laugh our collective arses off at it.  In his article, Mr. Doyle compares Fox News to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and pundit Bill O'Reilly to Napoleon Solo, engaged in a life or death battle with a shadowy enemy whose goals are unclear, but who we can be sure is up to no good.

Anyways, someone informed Mr. O'Reilly, and since he's never been one to back down from an argument, no matter how ridiculous he may seem in the process, he promptly decided he wasn't going to stoop to John Doyle's level and took the high road.  Wait, who am I kidding?  Mr. O'Reilly instead did what he does best and started flinging mud back at the Globe, dismissing them as a bunch of pinheads at a dishonest lefty outfit.

Of course, Mr. Doyle wrote this all up in another column (Hey, they say there's no such thing as bad publicity), and once again Bill O'Reilly couldn't let it be.  Once again he attacked the Globe as a leftist paper (ok, so it is lefter leaning than the Post, but that's not exactly hard), and even managed to take a swipe at the CBC, or 'Communist Broadcasting Corporation'.  The end result?  Doyle got yet another column out of it.

His column doesn't show up on weekends, so we'll have to wait until Monday to find out if anything showed up. Oh, and Bill? We love you, really we do. (snicker)

One point for the fair and balanced the title.
