Bill O’Reilly to receive ‘Media Courage Award’

By GottaLaff

Know why it's called the "Media Courage" Award? Because it took a whole lot of mustered-up courage for some gofer to convince someone to engrave an award with O'Lielly's name:

The right-wing Family Research Council has announced that at its upcoming Values Voters Summit this fall, the organization will be honoring Fox News host Bill O’Reilly with the first-ever “Media Courage Award.”

FRC President Tony Perkins, who makes a beeline for the Poor Pitiful Bill angle:

Bill O’Reilly has never shied away from denouncing late-term abortions and the handful of doctors who perform them. In the aftermath of George Tiller’s murder, O’Reilly became an easy target for the liberal media who tried to pin some of the blame on Bill, saying he incited the violence by decrying these unnecessary procedures on his show. Despite the unfair allegations, O’Reilly spoke the truth, bringing new light to a gruesome procedure. On behalf of our co-sponsors and millions of values voters, we want to express our gratitude to a culture warrior who uses his national platform to promote life–no matter what the personal or professional costs.

[...] Nothing says courage less than sending your producer to stalk people because they once wrote something critical about you and you’re too afraid to actually call them up and ask them for a response first.

"O'Reilly became an easy target"? Really?

Apparently, not as easy a target as Dr. Tiller was.
