O’Reilly’s explanation: I work too many hours.
Everybody else’s explanation: His ratings sucked.
I’ll take “His Ratings Sucked” for $200, Alex.
Correction; O'Reilly sucks.
He sucks.
I dunno why he’s even on TV any more.
Beck is beating him like a rented mule.
Why did Rush stop doing his television show?
I heard him occasionally. He stank.
He reflexively dismissed people who were too liberal or too conservative—but rarely gave a rational explanation. He just called them “loons.”
He repeatedly asserted that Obama is a citizen. Of course, he never cited any evidence, since there is none.
The business of radio stations is to deliver the largest possible audience of a targeted demographic to advertisers. To garner that audience they have to provide entertainment and/or personalities which will draw in those targeted folks. Failure to deliver (poor ratings) gets a show canceled. Ratings = money.
It’s hard being a jerk 24x7.
