Let us know if he does that and you hear about it.

I don't think O'Reilly did it himself.  Someone else does the graphics 
work.  I will bet that Fox News will say it was a mistake -- of course! -- 
but it will be interesting to see if we get any analysis of their error 
rate.  My guess is that it is very low.  My guess is that it was not a 
mistake, but that it might not have been a conspiracy.  It only takes one 
person to get it wrong.
