>>BOR has demonstrated that he cannot be counted on to treat the truth with respect, which is all the reason any intelligent person would ever need to turn him down.<<
I agree 100%. He has shown his lack of respect for his guests on a regular basis. He interrupts them, points his finger at them, accuses them, yells at them, ridicules them. Why would anyone want to be a ‘guest’ on his show?
When one entertains a ‘guest’, they most likely will go out of their way to listen, absorb, politely (yet with knowledge and understanding) respond. Mr. O’Reilly has made it his MO to slap, yell at, ridicule, interrupt and put-down his guests on a regular basis.
Anyone might consider being a ‘guest’ with a polite, open minded, respectful host. That is not Mr. O’Reilly.
He has shown respect on his show for those deserving of respect, IMHO.
