Are you insane??? He's been proven wrong time and again and yet never issues a retraction. Many guests have stated how he will pull a segment when things don't go his way or will just cut out when guests that disagree with him make good points. No spin zone my ass.

It entertainment, not news.

 

 

I just said it was entertainment, and it's some of the best entertainment on television, and I'm not talking about pro-liberal agenda "laughing at him" entertainment. I'm talking about great interviews, and funny, serious, and compelling television. If you watch it as a show it's great. If you watch it as a partisan, you hate it. It's like Nintendo fanboys hating on FFXIII.

 

I'm not taking sides.

Zen, you have to rework your argument. If it is entertainment for a specific group, people who lean to the right then it is niche.

 

I think my recent posts explain it better. It's not necessarily inclusive of right-leaners, I don't think, but more exclusive of left. I believe non-biased non-partisans(Like I hope I am myself) find the show excellent entertainment, even if it is because of the controversy Bill artificially creates. Also, despite how evil people think he is for whatever reasons, he's the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with. Anderson 360 isn't, lol.

Another great reporter that I loved was Tim Russert, God rest his soul, he was fantastic, and he certainly wasn't right leaning, so I guess that I'm saying I just love great news personalities and their interviews, and really could care less about their politics. I don't judge people based on if they have a R or a D after their name, which tends to make me controversial on both sides of the isle.

 

I don't fit into the left right definitions of politicians (D or R) or political scientists (I'm an objective-pragmatist).  O'Reilly isn't far right (Which is Religious Radicals, Fascist, etc.).  He is conservative (which is middle right). Conservatives like things the way they are or were.  He lives in a fantasy world where the world was once purer than it is now.  The only thing that has changed about morality is the ability to record moral transgressions.  Not all conservatives live in this fantasy world.

He excludes anyone who wants to actually see answers to the questions. He rarely has real guests on, he has fox news analysts and party officials not politicians.  That is why I do not enjoy his show.

He does some good work.  He promotes tolerance (the left accuses him of the reverse).  Discourages the death penalty because of his religion, I am on the same side but for a different reason (you can never be 100% certain of a persons guilt, so what is the government to take away the right to live from a citizen who might be innocent).
