Bill O'Reilly Complains About Americans Being 'Self-Absorbed and Ignorant'

Pot, meet kettle.

Fox's Bill O'Reilly is very upset that many Americans can't answer the same questions that are asked of immigrants who take our citizenship test, and used his Talking Points Memo segment this Monday to rail about it.

This from the man who works for a network that literally makes their viewers dumber, that constantly rails against funding of public education in favor of school vouchers and charter schools, and who has been carrying water for the party that's responsible for getting rid of civics classes in our public schools to begin with.

O’Reilly said America is in decline because so many citizens are not paying attention and are not interested in the welfare of the country.

O'Reilly's right about the problem. You'll never get him to admit his and his network's part in contributing to it though.
