Who Loves Bill O'Reilly???
 

I was just wondering who on GC LOVES Bill O'Reilly and the O'Reilly Factor and who loves to hate him :)


I for one am a BIG fan of Bill and the No Spin Zone :) Who's with me?? :)

I am with you! I love the way he tells it like it is. He gives you every side.

I'm sure his mother loves him. Personally, I've never met him so I'm ambivilent.

If you're talking about his TV persona, I like him because he asks tough questions. I don't like him because he portrays himself as a "fair & balanced" host, yet is such a loudmouth on his show that you wonder why he even has guests.

He's a smart guy though. Very successful at what he does.

I'm not sure love is the word, but I'm a fan. I sort of agree with ktsnake. O'Riely is a bit of a loud mouth at times, though I do think he is fair more often than not.

ICK ICK ICK ICK

I hate him

I like watching his show when I get the chance. It's quite amusing at times actually :)

He is on Fox News that says it all. He better than people such as Shepard though. He likes to hear himself talk.

What bothers me the most is that he claims to be all fair and balanced, but any time some one states an opinion or facts he disagrees with, he basically yells and yells and yells until they stop talking. When that happens, you can tell he thinks he's won the arguement, no matter how wrong he might actually be.

Al Franken does an interesting breakdown of O'Reily in his latest book...

Also I have a very hard time respecting anyone who spent any portion of time on Entertainment Tonight.

-Bill O’Reilly on GoodMorning America, March 18, 2003

I guess there are some people that are waiting for that apology.:D

ETA: If anybody belived that he's telling the way it is, consider how many time he as been called out, and his respond is to whine like a baby. I like him cause he is a good entertainer.

Consider this, "I understand working-class Americans. I'm as lower-middle-class as they come." He said that his father earned $35,000 a year. That is correct, but what he failed to menton is that his father earned that amount in 1978. If you adjust inflation, his father earned around $90,000.

And there is the case of the Peabody Award which he claimed he won during his stint in Inside Edition. In correct. Sure he'll keep on denyin that he said he has won peabody award, however, May 19, 2000 broadcast he said, "We won Peabody Awards. . . . We won Peabody awards. . . . A program that wins a Peabody Award, the highest award in journalism, and you're going to denigrate it?" The only award Inside Edition ever won is the Polk Award, which it won after O'Reilly left.

I adore Bill. I think he's very smart and does a good job :)

Political views aside, the man's a sensationalistic huckster. I mean, "Inside Edition"? Yeah, that's the zenith of journalistic integrity.

I agree with some of the things he says but overall, I watch just to laugh at him make an ass of himself. Fair and Balanced...... LOLOLOLOLOL

Actually it was Inside Edition, LOL. I think he had a big hand in the Tonya Harding story.

Oh and if any portion of Live from New York (the Sat. Night Live oral history) is to be believed, Al Franken's a pretty big hypocritical a-hole himself.

His show is opinion driven, so why fault him for speaking his mind? I agree with much of what he says, but not all. He at least tries to present differing views.

Yes, he can get loud and cut people off, but he's more polte than I would be with some of those guests!
