Bill O'Reilly tries to spin Holland's lax drug laws into a havoc-wreaking source of misery for the country. According to people that are actually from Holland, Bill O'Reilly's totally ignorant and a good deal of them are offended by his comments. Why are people with zero journalistic integrity allowed on television? Personally, I think Bill O'Reilly was a direct precursor to the abundance of comedy news programs on television today. The man is a joke, it's comical to watch something as biased as his show be passed off as "fair reporting." That right there is the irony of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report - yes, they're satires of Bill O'Reilly & co., supposed "news shows" that are more about serving a plate of their own B.S. than dishing out recent events. But in the sorry state of journalism today (thanks to O'Reilly), Stewart and Colbert have become in a way respected journalists, largely because so much of America is familiar/comfortable with biased reporting.
