Last night, while having a cup of tea, my Wife turned on the TV and it was already tuned to Fox news. Bill O'Reilly was on with a couple of guests discussing the death of Michael Jackson.
Bill O'Reilly was talking about how a big news story always breaks when he is on vacation (he was in Switzerland last week), and how he refused to return home to cover the Michael Jackson story.
He then went on to discuss at great length how much other news channels were running Michael Jackson features, even giving statistics on the percentage of their news coverage was devoted to Jackson.
During this segment, the host displayed how outraged he was with Jackson declaring a number of times how he had spent "millions of dollars on himself!".
Now, correct me if I'm wrong but it is no ones business what Michael Jackson, or anyone for that matter spends their money on. If they work hard and earn a lot of money, then too bloody right they're entitled to spend it on themselves, or whoever they damn well please.
Mr O'Reilly also failed to notice the hypocrisy in spending the majority of his show complaining how much coverage the death of the King of Pop was receiving on other stations.
Andy's first media muppet award is well earned Bill. Welcome back.
