I won’t disparage O’Reilly.
I think he is a bloviator, disingenuous, and all that stuff- don’t get me wrong.
His Modus Operandi simply seems to me as: take the most middle road position on nearly every issue as possible, unless he believes there is an egregious wrong being committed and ignored.
I’ve no idea where he stands in his own mind on any of those positions, but unless he and I were best friends and he confessed such things to me, I would never trust him to have my back.

I agree. In my opinion, unless it forwards his self image, he’s not going to put much into it.
