Make fun of Bill O'Reilly, get fired!

So Barry Nolan is the “TV journalist” recently fired by CN8 (a network I’ve totes been on before) for protesting an award ceremony honoring Papa Bear. Heroic move, but ultimately bad news for the guy’s career.

His reasoning is pretty sound: “O’Reilly was an appalling choice, not because of his political views, but because he simply gets the facts wrong, abuses his guests and the powerless in general, is delusional, and, well, you might want to Google: Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”

Anyway, where is Mr. Nolan nowadays? Guest blogging for some horrid liberal blog, and soliciting new work: “Meanwhile, if anyone needs any lawn work done or his or her car detailed – give me a call.”

Lesson learned. Don’t criticize anything at all, ever.
