Taking on the Lying Liars
If you read political blogs or watch FOX News, it’s possible that you’ve seen this:
Bill O’Reilly, of course, couldn’t stay away from an 8-year old calling him out, something that wouldn’t, couldn’t happen unless that 8-year old was being used by adults.

The entire “concept” is certainly both weird and fascinating, though at first it
