A news anchor does not comment on the news, make faces or give opinions. Opinions have nothing to do with news reporting.

Stewart may be funny but any political commentary wades into the realm of propaganda, not news.

O'Reilly is a commentator

Sure, but I trust him more than a leftist comedian.

reply
Connor ... to Brad # ... 2012/09/26 17:07:18

I'd trust a leftist comedian more than a rightist commentator that throws fits, lies and interrupts to 'win' arguments. Especially a leftist comedian that actually knows the facts.

Stewart does not report facts nor any valid information. He makes fun of people..that is it. Making fun of people is not news. O'Reilly only interupts when the guest starts spewing lies and dishonesty.

reply
Connor ... to Brad # ... 2012/09/26 20:56:32

Oh really? have you ever watched stewart and O'Reilly before? That went pretty differently.

reply
Brad # ... to Connor ... 2012/09/27 11:06:14

I have watched both of them but not on a regular bases. Stewart insults conservatives and Fox News. O'Reilly discusses issues on a intelligent level and only gets irate when a hostile guest starts to lie or spin the truth.

reply
Connor ... to Brad # ... 2012/09/27 20:58:30

One is comedy, the other is commentary, but I'm talking about O'Reilly's debate with Stewart before, which he edited for TV, but ended up putting the rest online, where Stewart would back him into corners

reply
Brad # ... to Connor ... 2012/09/28 12:51:29

I didn't see it nor do I plan to see it. It's a waste of time. Why do I care what a comedian has to say about our country? I already know how O'Reilly thinks..so the whole Stewart - O'Reilly debate is stupid and serves no purpose.

Stewart's loyalty is with what makes his audience laugh, that can be just as corrupting. He is very capable of making funny with liberals but his studio audience is less appreciative of that, unlike me.

All studies show Bill O to be the most honest. But He is not a news anchor. Niether is the comedian or the snarky snide little boy from MSNBC.

Slip of the finger. I wanted Billy.

None of the choices are news anchors.

Bill O'reilly will never lie, but sometimes he's wrong. Jon Stewart will never lie either, but because of his satire and comedy, it is sometimes difficult to discern the truth.

As far as Rachael Maddow and Brian Williams go, I would not trust them further than I could throw Big Foot.

"The Factor" is not a hard news source. It is a combination of entertainment and opinions from both the left and the right, although basically conservative.

O'reilly will retract his opinion if it has been proved wrong, but sometimes it takes a lot of arguing from LEGITIMATE sources for him to do so. For example, previously he supported Obama in Obama's claim that he was not a socialist. O'reilly now has reversed that opinion...and so has most of the U.S.

All that to get around to a silly jab at Obama being a socialist. Think what you wish... who cares....

You have not not bothered to verified anything O'reilly has said. Just about everything, but not everything, has been backed up by facts from the CBO (Congregational Budget Office) and the U.S. Labor Statistics Board. It seems that you have been seduced by Moveon.org or one of its affiliates.

"The Factor" is THE most watched program on cable TV and has been for the last twelve years... and there is a reason for that. Fox is the most watched and the most TRUSTED news source.You and your mind set are the problem...not Bill O'reilly.....Those are the facts....so live with it.

O'Reilly's not a news anchor. But I believe he believes what he says.
Neither are Maddow or Stewart.
And I don't trust Williams AT ALL.

O'Reilly said that the Constitutions preamble makes Obamacare constitutional, ridiculous.
It is still not constitutional, the preamble has no say in the matter and he is not a Constitutional scholars or a conservative no matter how many times he says it.

reply

I agree with you. It's not Constitutional.
O'Reilly is wrong, but I think he believes what he said. I didn't say he was a genius, or always right.
