Fox News’ highest rated host says the internet is ruining young people’s minds.
Based on a 2011 survey of 1,000 people, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly declared, "The internet has created a generation of self-absorbed, addicted, distracted, and ignorant people."

You can now create your own world on the net devoid of reality, and millions of Americans are doing that. The result is that a very few shrewd people are now wielding enormous power."
