Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly mentioned editorial cartoonists Mike Thompson (Detriot News) in his Talking Points Memo segment recently. O’Reilly used a Thompson cartoon that ran in USA Today to decry the mocking of conservatives.

“Take a look at this cartoon [3rd one down] in USA Today. which has been drifting left over the last years. It has a scary-looking anchorman – probably me – shouting Christmas warnings, then the cartoonist takes a shot at conservatives and says the whole thing is about quote ‘faulty intelligence.'”
