O'Reilly is a phony. He initially attracted his large audience by telling the truth and analyzing issues based on the law, and right/wrong. Since establishing his large audience, he has chosen to sell out the truth and right/wrong in favor of attracting a larger audience, hoping that his initial audience doesn't pay attention to what he is doing. And it's all about him, his income, and the stream of 'Factor gear' products he endlessly and nauseating promotes every show. Sure, he is entitled to make this choice and conduct his business this way. But in doing so, he forfeited his credibility, and more and more people are waking up to this fact.

Well, I don't think O'Reilly's any different than he's always been. I agree with him sometimes, and disagree with him other times. He backs up his assertions with facts, and, when he gives his opinion, you know it's his opinion.

And, O'Reilly has the highest rated prime-time cable show on television and his numbers, when they've varied, have varied upwards.

For some reason, people at Free Republic thought that he was a conservative, and are now disappointed to find out that he's not. I knew, from the first, that he was liberal on some things, conservative on others. He's an outstanding interviewer, and his show is interesting. It doesn't bother me that he's not an ideologue.
