NEWSFLASH: O’Reilly’s Sneak Attack on Blog!

David Kline, co-author of the blogging book I contributed to appeared on The O’Reilly Factor Tuesday night.

[...]the show turned out to be a total set-up job in which host Bill O’Reilly and guest Jed Babbin spent the entire time attacking the web site Media Matters for having posted commentary in the past critical of them both.

If you’re interested in how shows like the O’Reilly Factor work, then let me explain how the ambush against Media Matters — and against political blogs in general — came about.
