He's not as good as he used to be. Watch the Michael Moore interview if you disagree. Like DA said, I think the focus of his show has moved form arguing issues to promoting his books.

I think he still has the mojo, it is just that too many people try to make him look bad b/c he exposes issues that they would like to see covered up. I like O'Reilly because he doesn't pad either political party. He is truely looking out for the average American. He asks tough questions of every visitor. His argument with Moore was so heavily fought with ad hominem that O'Reilly really could not argue back with him. It was a disgrace on the part of Moore.

He's good, like Michael Moore, for entertainment value.

That is exactly how I interpreted what Bill said on the Radio...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside of that, I have seen Bill apologize to his guests when their facts are straight in accordance with proven ideology.

But if his guests spout off at the mouth and rattle off irrational bullisht, then Bill will debase them--usually with facts...

Bill does have a higher degree in Policy Making, in addition to his degrees in journalism--like a Master's of Public Relations or Political Science? I dunno. And he has attended and taught at several Ivy League universities. So, he really ain't no dummy...

So, I think his guests need to know that when they come on the Factor, they have to have their chit skrait and use pithy sound bites to look reasonable...

The same with Sean Hannity...

But that's my take after watching 5 years of both shows on the Fox News Channel.

Comedy Central Refutes O'Reilly's Claim

By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - The folks at Comedy Central were annoyed when Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly kept referring to "The Daily Show" audience as "stoned slackers." So they did a little research. And guess whose audience is more educated?

Viewers of Jon Stewart's show are more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch "The O'Reilly Factor," according to Nielsen Media Research.

O'Reilly's teasing came when Stewart appeared on his show earlier this month.

"You know what's really frightening?" O'Reilly said. "You actually have an influence on this presidential election. That is scary, but it's true. You've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night and they can vote."

Comedy Central executives realized, and O'Reilly acknowledged, that he was poking fun. But they said they didn't want a misconception to persist.

"If the head of General Motors was watching O'Reilly's show, that could be very important to us," said Doug Herzog, Comedy Central president.

"If you listen to O'Reilly, you get the sense that it was crazy longhairs behind the show," he said. "And it's not. It's great, smart television that attracts a well-compensated audience, most of whom are voting age."

Relax, said Fox News Channel spokesman Rob Zimmerman.

"Comedy Central must have lost their sense of humor," Zimmerman said. "Without Jon Stewart, Comedy Central would turn into the Great American Country Channel."

Comedy Central also touted a recent study by the University of Pennsylvania's National Annenberg Election Survey, which said young viewers of "The Daily Show" were more likely to answer questions about politics correctly than those who don't.

Comedy Central had no statistics on how many people watch "The Daily Show" stoned.

Although seemingly taken aback by repeated "stoned slackers" references while talking with O'Reilly, Stewart was ready with a joke.

"This election is going to rely on the undecided," he said. "And who is more undecided than stoned slackers? Ice cream or pretzels? Ice cream or pretzels? What's it going to be?

Whether it's the slacker or no-slacker zone, O'Reilly is entering it Oct. 7, when he's scheduled to appear on "The Daily Show."

So if Stewart's audience is comprised of stoned slackers, how would Herzog describe O'Reilly's audience?

"I'm not getting into that game," he said.

It was a disgrace on the part of both men during that interview. They looked like a bunch of children arguing back and fourth on the playground during recess. To think otherwise would demonstrate exactly how one-sided you might think (already demonstrated maybe).

I'm not a fan of any of these O'Reilly, Franken, Moore or Coulter types. No matter how intelligent any of them might be it is lost in the way they present most of their views.

They can all just interrupt people, pontificate, attack -- and laugh at us all the way to the bank.

Jon Stewart's latest interview with Bill O'Reilly

Bill: The whole federal government frightens me. There isn't anything about it I like.
Jon: Really?
Bill: Yeah. I'm an anarchist. I, uh -- power to the people. (raises fist)

Watch full episode of The Daily Show, 11/13/2008

Screw Bill O'Reilly. I watch him when I'm board, but I disagree with most anything he has to say.

Funny to read about neo-conservatives in this thread. The Neo-con are dead, hopefully the old republicans of goldwater will be comming back soon.
