Last night I watched a few of The O’Reilly Factor parodies SNL did over the last decade. These days, he’s increasingly turning into his own caricature. The story on TPM linked above could be the pitch for a SNL skit.
Sure, at-risk teenagers certainly watch The Factor for live-changing moral guidance. The work the My Brother’s Keeper initiative is about to do and that O’Reilly rails against – “urging stronger efforts to create more opportunities for young minority men and to improve conditions that keep them impoverished and imprisoned in disproportionate numbers” – is just not as fundamentally urgent as turning your cap in the proper direction. Why work at structural issues when the real foundation of crime and misery is hat fashion. If only Jay would wear his cap properly.
