I like O'Reilly. He at least is not a wimp and goes after guys such as Rev. Jesse J. and the corrupt lawyer Feldman (who accused innocent people when he knew his client Westerfield was guilty of the most horrible crime).
O'Reilly speaking out against ACLU and pedophiles has made a number of people angry.
There are times I disagree with him. Mainly I watch his show because he is interesting. Also, he is not concerned with PC, does not have Paula Zahn's "deer in the headlights" stare, Dan Abrams' smarmyness, and Katie Couric's perkiness.
For sure; and then of course, there is 'alfrankenstein' himself.
Agree with your reasons 'for' O'Reilly.
He makes me a little crazy as he does have some major blindspots when it comes to Liberals - my recollection is that in his prior books; while addressing the pathology; he never uses the actual agents (Liberals!) of that pathology by name.
He does call the 'facts of the matter'; just not inclined to address the 'Lib itself' MO as the heart of the matter. . .so to speak.
