What is the one term or phrase that, in your opinion, would best describe Bill O'Reilly?

B July 03, 2007 19:02:04

It is my sense that Bill O'Reilly of The O'Reilly Factor fame on Fox News channel is a personality that evokes many emotions in people. I'm curious to know how people would describe him -- if they were asked to do so with one term or phrase.

    Controversial comes to mind. I listened to him when he was new and fresh, but I find myself less, and less in agreement with his views. I see that many respondants reverted to name calling, which is common among the liberal class when they have nothing intelligent to say.

    He is a good debater, but he is very pompus. He also sometimes just talks over others. Then I can't hear what anyone is saying.

    I would describe Bill O'Reilly as principled. I don't always agree with him, especially in regards to his opposition to capital punishment, but I respect him. I also love how he turns the heat on pantywaist reprobate judges who go easy on scumbag child molesters.

    You don't have to like him but he is well researched and he doesn't pull any punches with his guests or his audience. You know where he stands.

    Biased.

    He and Fox News clearly support the Right-Wing and try their hardest to bash the other side.

    Well somebody has to balance out ABC, NBC and CBS. They sure don't hide their bias toward the left wing. That's OK, but lets look at both sides of the coin here.

    Those other stations are not nearly as biased as Fox. Come on, you've watched Fox haven't you? And you've watched ABC, NBC, CBS, right? Who's more biased?

    I have more respect for "Mother Jones" than I do for ABC, NBC, CNN, and other outlets of the mainstream media. At least the above named left wing rag doesn't make any pretense to objectivity.

    This is basic Bill: guy's on his TV show, Bill says that red is only red and that is it. The other guy says there are a bunch of different variations of red, then Bill goes ballistic in ranting at him saying he doesn't have evidence or that he's part of the liberal media set on one goal of assassinating him. That's how it basically goes on the Factor, and his paranoia about the liberal media is driving me fucking insane.

    but the liberal media paranoia really turns me off his show and the show's gone to the pits with that bullshit edition the Dhue Point which accomplishes absolutly nothing worth viewing.

    This guy has a lotta nerve, I used to be a fan, but just check out enough of his stories and you'll see he could hold a world book record for spin. He always whines about people smearing his good name... Yup the one that told his intern to put out or get out.... Wonder why he settled on that one? all the while he's smearing the names of others who might disagree but truly love their country and think they are doing the best for their country. In one week I heard him say we should get rid of freedom of speech because... eight times. This guy is as american as Fidel Castro.
    I wonder why all those sleep aid commercials come one during his show?
    I watch regularly just to see what dumb !@#@$ is gonna fall outa his mouth next.

    I mostly not liked him watching hisTV show, but last week he was on with Regis and Kelly and came off as a fairly normal guy. So based on that, I'm kind of undecided.
