O'Reilly, Even When You're Right, You're Wrong
By Pamelia
I'll admit I'm not normally one to watch Fox News. But last week O'Reilly talked about foreign investors like China – who hold so much of the US's debt – having insecurities about the current economic stability of the US.

Fortunately for us, our regular New Hounds commenter and local resident, Jim, was part of the other .01%.

Here is his report:
