I don't watch Fox News and I have never watched a complete Fox O'Reilly show - have only viewed You Tube snippets. I've seen him on 60 Minutes, The View, and a few other talk show programs, where he's always come across as opinionated, but reasonable.
I think his Fox persona is an act - one that is tailor made for Fox News viewers. He's the Alice Cooper of 24 hour cable news networks - probably can't wait until his show is over and he can become a normal person again.
Well, Bill is taking heat from some conservitives for having the nerve of saying something good about the President.
"Thus, our modern age presents vast challenges to children, and they need to learn lessons quickly in order to prosper. And who better to teach them than the President of the United States?"
"Why did you write the article? Given your audience and what your fans expect of you, why write something supporting Obama?"
"I don't agree with all of Obama's policies," O'Reilly said. "But I admire what he's done as a person. I came from poor circumstances and I'm impressed by how he lifted himself up. I think it's a good lesson, and children can learn from it. We should take positive examples wherever we find them."
You conveniently left out that he's also taken major hits from the radical left.
Only when he's conservative. when he says something good about Obama, he's taken his Fox right wing blinders off.
Isn't it astounding how when he agrees with one side he is to be respected, but if he disagrees he should be pillaried. Must be a measure of at least trying to find a balance.
No, Stephen Colbert does a comedy show in which he plays a conservative. Bill O IS a conservative supposedly doing a fact-based news/opinion show. They are not the same.
I don't watch Bills show very often, and will never be able to forget his whole "war on Christmas" debacle, but he was on Rachel Ray's show recently and was pretty entertaining. It really makes me wonder how much of what he says he actually believes, or if it's an act for the $$.

If you add a laugh track to Bill O's show it would come darn close though!
