International Law

Bill O?Reilly, China Scholar?

By Stan

Referencing New York’s Upper West Side, the infamous right wing Fox News talk show host opined that:

You can’t get more left unless you go to Beijing

Apparently the continued use of the “Communism” label and propaganda over here are still fooling some folks out there into thinking that this country still adheres to pre-1987 political and economic principles.

Alternatively, perhaps O’Reilly, well known for his fair-mindedness, is simply taking the government at its word. If they wish to call themselves Communists, then why should O’Reilly challenge that? Not doing so would be impolite, and O’Reilly is the consummate gentleman.

In fact, in making this reference, O’Reilly is contributing to what I would refer to as an international Harmonious Society. He should win some sort of award or something, yes?
