Sticks, stones and Bill O’Reilly

Here’s a study that essentially proves what we’d already suspected — that conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly is a fear-monger and a bully, forcing the world to fit into a neat “good v. evil”/”us v. them” paradigm and using this paradigm to generate ratings and create conservative propaganda.

(That his show has grown increasingly weird as the conservative moment wanes should be a topic for another study, but alas….)
