SEE, I’VE NEVER BEEN MUCH OF AN O’REILLY FAN, BUT THIS WHOLE HIT PIECE WAS JUST PAYBACK FOR BRIAN WILLIAMS. AND NOW IT’S FALLING APART: Mediaite: Hugh Hewitt Grills the Hell out of Mother Jones’ David Corn on O’Reilly.

The thing is, it was a miss even if the story held up. As I noted a while back: “The theory of the ‘anchorman’ is supposed to be that while you can’t know what’s behind all the stories you see on the news, you trust them because you trust the person who delivers them.” O’Reilly isn’t an anchorman, he’s a blowhard pundit. But Corn’s effort to take down O’Reilly doesn’t seem to be withstanding scrutiny.
