One thing I will add is that my views on Gretta have really changed since writing that. She has seemingly made a 180 degree turn on her liberal views. Whether or not she has converted, I don’t know but she’s doing a great job I acknowledge.
I’m glad that Stossel’s on FoxNews and I wish him well. I haven’t watched O’Riley in years. He just rubbed me the wrong way.
Jigga what? Stossel perhaps but Bill O'Reilly? And I've heard him called that before. No. He's not a conservative or a libertarian. He's an ego with legs.
In before the usual and tired ‘they should put Beck in O’Reilly’s time slot’ and ‘fire Shepherd Smith’.
I don't normally watch O'Reily either, but tonight when I was sewing, I decided to turn on the TV and lo and behold what came on the screen was O'Reilly and Marc Lamont Hill. I don't believe it took more than five seconds for me to turn THAT off. It did serve, however, to reinforce my reasoning for NEVER watching O'Reilly.
LOL Impy. I agree that he’s an ego with legs - and sometimes a pathetic appeaser who wants to be liked by everyone.
You’re right ... Greta has come around to a more conservative view of some things, which is far better than it used to be.
Greta was a nobody til she met Palin, and made a 180
LIAR Bill O’Reilly aka the Leprechaun says he has seen Obama BC.
Totally agree with one exception: O'Reilly doesn't care who hates or likes him when it comes to children. He has been a champion against sex offenders and liberals in the justice system that coddle sex offenders. I'll give him great credit in this regard.
Beck style is more comical and better for the younger audience imho, so 5pm is a good time for him. They should replace Shepherd Smith for sure with Stossel
O’Reilly has been seriously kissing Obama butt recently, making me really annoyed.
Stossel has always been a perceptive, insightful straight shooter and was born to be on Fox.
I loved Stossel’s work when he was on ABC’s 20/20 show, and was really looking forward to watching him on FOX, but think he’s on the FOX Business side, and we don’t get that. Wish he’d cross over to the other side.
John Stossel has a more reflective and engaging manner than Bill O’Reilly. Stossel lays out a chain of evidence and reasoning and draws his audience along. O’Reilly is often hectoring and dismissive, although redeemed by a large dose of self-deprecation.
are they moving dave ramsey?
Stossel, in his work (and I'm pretty sure I've seen him on TV as well) is a craftsman, a critical thinker, a real honest sniffer-outer and exposer of fraud and deception.
That the fraud and deceit usually comes from the Left is not because Stossel seeks to attack the Left -- at least, I've never gotten that impression from him -- but because the Left is where it is most often found in its most virulent, destructive forms. To me, Stossel has always been more or less apolitical, but instead what a real journalist should be.
I hope so. FNC was on my TV when I turned in on tonight. BOR had that a-hole Mark(sist) Lamont Hill on and I immediately switched.
I loathe O’Reilly and refuse to watch ANYTHING he is on. I wish Fox would get rid of him, Shep and Geraldo. I quit watching any news channel because of them.
