His Own Network Is Afraid Of Him?

I've watched the Fox"News" late-night show Red-Eye a few times and I can say without fear of contradiction that Greg Gutfield is one of the most annoying men on television. His schtick seems to be a mix of Dennis Miller and that annoying kid in your college Lit class that drones on and on about the religious imagry in Moby Dick and how he's related to Faulkner and was published when he was 9.

It's Fox's attempt at a show that is edgy. However, it falls quite short of the mark. The show hasn't seemed to get past the "look at me, I'm so edgy. Look at my popped collar and my Dolce and Gabana sunglasses". Yeah, it's pretty full of itself.

Well, they had the editor of High Times magazine on recently and, as expected, the pot jokes started. That's when a perculiar thing happened.

That's right, they "bleeped" Bill O'Reilly's name.

Why?

Are people at Fox so afraid of angering the splotchy-one that they feel they have to edit themselves when his name is involved?

Wow.
