Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris have just finished giving breathless commentary about the painfully, horribly, ridiculously, unfairly "high" price of gasoline and how President Bush has to put together a campaign to motivate the country to produce hydrogen-powered cars and give up the fantasy of drilling in Alaska, which will only prolong our dependence on oil, blah, blah-blah, blah-blah...
(OK, actually, they didn't just finish; I was watching the repeat of the original 8:00 EST broadcast, and I just watched it for the first time. But I still felt like I was living in China while listening to them carry on.)
My question: When will people like O'Reilly, who constantly takes oil conglomerates to task over their supposed "obligation to the community" to keep prices low, take the time to read a book like Tom Sowell's Basic Economics? Or just make outstanding blogs like Cafe Hayek required reading?! Doesn't he recognize his "obligation" to provide his millions of viewers with accurate information?
