I am still stunned about the statements that Bill O'Reilly made on his show O'Reilly Factor while discussing Shawn Hornbeck on January 15. O'Reilly stated, "I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that this kid liked about this circumstances," adding: "The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents. He didn't have to go to school. He could run around and do whatever he wanted." O'Reilly also asserted that "I don't believe this kid" enjoyed attending school. On January 16, O'Reilly further declared on The O'Reilly Factor, "I hope he did not make a conscious decision to accept his captivity because" his kidnapper "made things easy for him. No school, play all day long." (See article here Media Matters O'Reilly Factor Article)
How someone could make such stupid statements about a kidnapping is beyond my wildest comprehension. For Mr. O'Reilly to state that it is much better to be kidnapped and held by a pedophile than remain with your own family has me so angry I could just spit. This poor kid didn't go to Disney Land, he was taken from his family and held against his will. Who is this man? Why is he still on the air spouting his vile, ignorant opinions?
