The old Bill O’Reilly reappears

Bill O’Reilly is up to his old tricks again, pushing an Obama staffer at a rally at a New Hampshire school, causing Obama’s Secret Service agents to get involved in the fray. I’d been wondering what happened to the O’Reilly of the late 1990s-early 2000s. Well, good news: he’s back, apparently! Now imagine Fox’s—and O’Reilly’s—reaction if it had been a more mainstream or left-leaning television personality, like Anderson Cooper or Keith Olbermann. Just ponder that for a second. Imagine the letters of apology, the resignations, the anger management courses, the right-wing hysteria over the uncontrollable left-wing media. Now compare that to the reaction we’re going to get to this incident. That’s what I thought.
