50 million female McCarthys

According to Bill O'Reilly's valiant defense of JCPenney's decision to hire Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson.  OK, I don't care one way or another because I don't shop at Penny's anymore.  Haven't in a long time.  But why did he compare them to McCarthy?  Well, it could be that O'Reilly's limited knowledge leaves him only with that name to use whenever someone says censorship.  Or it could be that O'Reilly is first and foremost a multi-millionaire celebrity that wants to keep company with other celebrities in a predominantly liberal cultural environment.  I don't know.  I just think that if he disagreed with those angry about Penney's hiring a lesbian activist as their spokesperson, he could have refrained from such inflamed name calling.

But wait, this is cable news.  This is what defines cable news.  And when it comes to FOX, I'm not an idiot.  FOX's first loyalty is to the freedom and liberty of multi-millionaire business interests above all things.  Social issues?  Not so much.  It's not for no reason I've often said that everything I ever wanted to learn about porn stars, I learned on FOX News.
