Roger Ebert is indominitable (and hilarious) in his defense of the Chicago Sun-Times. I wrote a while back about his takedown of Jay Mariotti. Now Ebert has targeted Bill O’Reilly for the newsbuffoon including the Sun-Times in his “Hall of Shame.”

An excerpt:

Dear Bill: Thanks for including the Chicago Sun-Times on your exclusive list of newspapers on your “Hall of Shame.” To be in an O’Reilly Hall of Fame would be a cruel blow to any newspaper. It would place us in the favor of a man who turns red and starts screaming when anyone disagrees with him. My grade-school teacher, wise Sister Nathan, would have called in your parents and recommended counseling with Father Hogben.

I’m not sure why Ebert classified Charles Krauthammer as “admirable,” but the rest is spot on.
