Bill O'Reilly is apparently complaining that Schwarzenegger's Oui interview is available on the Internet: "But the other thing is that the court system in this country does not protect anybody in the public arena. You -- look, with the rise of the Internet -- you see the vile stuff on the Internet? You could say anything you want about anybody."

     The only trouble, as Matt Welch points out, is that in this instance, the Internet provides perfectly accurate material -- the Oui interview actually happened, it's apparently been reproduced correctly on the Internet, and in any event it was originally published in non-Internet media during the pre-Internet era. What exactly is the problem with that? Thanks to InstaPundit for the pointer.
