Bill O’Reilly Claims Slate Magazine Is ‘Run By A Seven-Year-Old’
Bill O’Reilly is no stranger to making enemies, but this one seemed a little egregious, even for him: during his weekly news quiz segment with Fox News personalities Steve Doocy and Martha MacCallum last night, O’Reilly accused the online magazine Slate of perpetuating lies about Connnecticut Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal‘s swimming skills, and then, that they are “run by a seven-year-old.”
It’s a strange and completely random fight to pick on O’Reilly’s part, especially since the magazine isn’t all that ideologically far from him has been mocked for its contrarian ways – just like O’Reilly. From his tone (he also called it “that Slate thing, on the internet”), it sounded like he would normally just call something he regarded on the same level as the site to be just “dopey,” but highlighting what he saw as immature rather than just careless makes it sting all that much more. Doocy, who didn’t seem to know what O’Reilly was talking about, replied to the quip, “sounds reliable.”
The segment, from last night’s O’Reilly Factor, below:
