Bill O’Reilly is on the air at this moment on FOX talking about all the misinformation on the web and how hard it is sometimes to tell truth from falsehood. He is very right and I applaud him for his position and the courage to speak out. It is also true that most people still get their information from network TV and network TV is often slanted and/or incomplete. I believe that the internet gives people support for positions they already believe, and that network TV gives support to the positions of the 1%.
