Bill O'Reilly vs. the Internet

I apologize for today's crankiness, but first the Orrin Hatch thing, and now this: Bill O'Reilly is not happy with the Internet. There are a couple of valid points in here, but his over-the-top bluster obscures them.

The Internet has become a sewer of slander and libel, an unpatrolled polluted waterway, where just about anything goes. For example, the guy who raped and murdered a 10-year old in Massachusetts says he got the idea from the NAMBLA Web site that he accessed from the Boston public library. The ACLU's defending NAMBLA in that civil lawsuit.

I can't believe O'Reilly called in the child molesters to make his point, apparently the Nazis weren't available. It's definitely time to extend Godwin's Law.
