When I bought my dish last year, I was excited that I would
be able to watch FOX news for the first time in years.
Wow, how it has been so disappointing. While I never cared for the Obloviator, I thought there would be some decent presentations by others, but I see little worth watching
I rarely watch any news now.
O’Reilly should not be even mentioned in the same sentence with Rush. Rush is an original thinker. O’Reilly is a loudmouth gasbag.
The Bill O’Reilly show is taped. They could have redone things and cut out the Laura Ingram segment. It went on because this is what brings in the viewers and ratings
This was not orchestrated and rehearsed. Laura was genuinely ticked and discomfited....O'Reilly was his genuine arrogant and dominineering self.
I, too, would have ripped my mike off and walked off the set if I had to sit through O'Reilly's sadism. Laura showed class in the face of piggish behavior.
The Bloviator is revealing more and more who he really is. He pretends to be a practicing Catholic, yet the other night he stated over and over that he believes the Biblical miracles are allegorical.
And then he slams Christian believers who oppose gay marriages as "Bible thumpers" (translation.....redneck, ignorant and bitter Bible and gun clingers).
The man is getting more unhinged every night.
We constantly rake Chris Matthews over the coals for his certifiable raving lunacy on the air, and guess who is rapidly gaining ground on the Tingler..........none other than the high and mighty BO'R.
I feel for Laura. She's under contract with Fox and has to eat the insults, the bullying and the condescension from O'Reilly. It was so uncomfortable to watch this segment tonight I still am shaken a couple hours later.

Laura you did the right thing in a tough spot.
You sub for Bill on his show, so you have to tread lightly.
I’m sure you’ll have an interesting summary during your morning show.
I saw the exchange and was disgusted with him. I immediately emailed him and told him so. He may have high ratings, but they are negative ratings.
O’Reilly’s beef was that religious types give only arguments based on religion to oppose gay marriage, rather than those based on policy considerations - but they’e not interested in policy arguments - and whether O’Reilly understands it or not, eventually the issue will end up being a religious one - the government can grant gays all the marital rights at its disposal, but they will not be satisfied until they achieve the right of the spiritual, emotional and sacred marriage provided under religions - and the government can not order any religion to grant these rights in opposition to thousands of years of its teaching and practice - not even Sotomayor and Kagan could go along with that.....
Laura’s operation to be joined at the hip with BOR shot her cred in the butt years ago. She’s LOST!
Bill O’Reilly doesn’t like AK-15-carrying Bible-thumpers.
Perhaps Laura ought to dedicate her next book to O’Reilly, “Shut Up and Preen”.
He thinks he is wiser than the Word of God. That will come to a bad end. His ego and pride are taking over.
Oh goody, another trash Blockhead thread ;-)
I watched this this evening. All the time I was getting more than ever disgusted with BOR. My wife wasn’t pleased that I said that BOR’s true character and principles were being shown. He is a conversation hogging twisted narcissist who can only make his argument by finger pointing. My FOX viewing days /hours have been severely cut after seeing that others opinions mean so little. My wife suggested he might come out and apologize for being so crude but as far as I”m concerned BOR and FOX can shove any apology where it fits them personally.
I still laugh when I think about BORe’s phone sex. He’s been a joke for years. Sad, but true.
BoR is not a good Catholic and should be banned from receiving communion in the Catholic Church.
O’Reilly dug himself in deeper and behaved like a giant ass.(which he is)
“shocked Ingraham by saying that opponents cannot cite the Bible in a policy argument”
I think the 1st Amendment disagrees with that opinion in at least two different ways, Mr. O’Reilly.
No, thanks.
