My hero!

Jessica Lunsford detective rips O'Reilly a new one.

The biggest national media personality to weigh in on the case is O'Reilly. He has frequently used his TV show "The O'Reilly Factor" to criticize King's handling of the case against Couey and told the Star-Banner this week that the way King has prosecuted the case is a "scandal."

O'Reilly also has criticized King for failing to pursue charges against three of Couey's housemates, who O'Reilly asserts must have known Jessica was in the small mobile home where Couey is accused of raping her after abducting her from her home. O'Reilly also labeled King a "coward" for not appearing on his program.

"I wouldn't go on his show either," Dawsy said, "because I have ethics."

Dawsy was infuriated after reading the paper.

"Bill O'Reilly is full of hot air," he said. "I don't consider him part of the news media. What he does is a reality show, only it's not real. He's part of the entertainment media. Overall, the real news media has done a good job on this case."

As Ulysses S. Grant said: Kick-ass.
