Bill O’Reilly’s Brian Williams moment, in a few tweets

Bill O is getting much derision for his "Brian Williams Moment on Speed". As well he should. But here's the thing-Nothing will happen to him

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

Bill O being a fabulist is a feature, not a bug. That's the trait Fox loves about him, his ability to dupe the rubes.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

There could be wall to wall coverage of his "combat experience" lies, and Ailes will just give him a raise.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

He'll be a martyr to the librul media, and be even more believed by the idiots who watch Fox.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

So if you think this will bring him down, then, I'm sorry to say, you haven't been paying attention.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

Fox doesn't care about credibility; it cares about influence. And Bill O brings that.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

I'll be gleeful to be proven wrong, but I don't think I will be.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

I mean, Fox bears no relation to the "sky is blue" world we inhabit. And yet its WH journo sits in the front row. Bill O will thrive.

—
Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) February 21, 2015

So, yes, we can laugh at Bill O. But he'll be on the teevee box every night until the Apocalypse.
