Thanks for the ping!
The very first time I saw this guy, my "he's a phony" light lite up. My opinion has never changed.
O'reiley is an entertainer.
Entertainers, in my opinion, should not be taken so seriously.
William SJ O'Blarney is in the entertainment industry. He has mentioned this point countless times as he justifies the ratings game.
He tried to take down the Swifties, which in my book is unforgivable.
He smooched Ho Chi Minh Kerry rearend.
He bent over on the Michael Moore interviews.
He was unwilling to accept Rathergate, or the connections to Kerry's campaign.
He has sought to denounce FR and the bloggers that expose the MSM.
And the list goes on and on. Flip-flopping is a means to an end. He's not looking out for anyone but number one for this closet liberal elite.
I pretty much lost all respect for O'Reilley once he trashed the Swift Boat Vets.
Anyone who bothered to listen objectively to these guys knew they were telling the truth - at significant risk to their reputations and more.
That, plus the kiss-up job to Jabba the Moore at the Presidential Convention. Unbelievable. O' used to ask the tough questions that no-one else would ask.
Now, he's just part of the ABCCBSNBCCNNFOX cabal. Sad, really, as the early days he at least SEEMED to ask the hard questions and have a true independent streak.
But, even sadder - he's still one of the only ones who's even a smidgeon to the right of the far, far, FAR left that dominates major media.
Another person figures out O'Reilley is a fraud.
.......and consistency is NOT his strong point.
On a related subject: O'Reilly will also take credit for things he is tangentially involved in. For instance, he claims almost sole credit for the boycott of France every-time the subject comes up. Its as is no one else pushed the idea and called for a boycott.
Ok out of curiousty...does that mean that Limbaugh's listeners should not take him seriously either?
I've heard him described as merely an "entertainer" as well.
Let's add to that list his letting Col. Hackworth on there ad nauseum bad mouthing the readiness of the military just prior to the kick off of OIF.
Haven't seen much of Hack on tv since we rolled up the Iraqi army so quickly.
I think I should have been pinged on this.
Yeah I listened to the radio show. That's where I heard him literally giving Kerry and endorsement for Pres.
Sad thing was that E.D. Hill...who seems to be the most conservative on on the morning show on TV was parroting just about everything Bill was saying at the time when she was on the radio with him.
When John Gibson and/or The Judge are filling in is the only time I can listen anymore.
Sorry. I don't ave ping lists. Not talented enough to know how to set them up But welcome anyway.
I like him. We're talking about a month of investigation and more and more have come out about Churchill. What's wrong with being open and changing a person's mind?
If it happens on time. Nothing chalk it up to learning the facts. What I think Mr. Farah was pointing out in his article and I agree with is that it's a deliberate patter that Mr. O engages in on a regular basis.
Not to mention he's done a complete 180 in how he represents him self today from what he did in the early days of The Factor.
Well, I was mostly kidding. People see my screen name and assume I am a big fan of BO. The truth is I was watching his show when I was signing up for FR.
Without change there is no growth. I like him.
My fear was that I was about to summon the wrath of The Man himself!
