When Will We Learn?


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?
