Interstingly enough, it isn’t just O’Reilly fans that have been caught on this. Once, several years ago, while waiting to get my hair cut, I stumbled across a letter to the editor in Reader’s Digest. The confused writer cited an article in The Onion about how Harry Potter books were turning kids into Satanists. To their credit, Reader’s Digest simply responded “You will be glad to know that The Onion is a satirical newspaper”. I had a photocopy of this page for a number of years to brandish as physical proof (because we can all admit it sounds like an urban legend) but that photocopy has been lost to the vagaries of time.
