Bill O'Reilly is the man

I was just wondering how many other greek people felt the same way that I do.

I'm not a fan but I'm not a fan of anyone who goes on TV just to hear themself talk. I prefer newspapers and journals any day.

A lot of noise, but nothing to say. Like Al Franken and Ann Coulter.

I thank O'Reilly for saying what needs to be said in today's media. I don't know why you people think he has nothing to say, you must not be listening. NO ONE is safe from O'Reilly, and I like that. What this world needs is a little more responsibility. I like how he keeps people on their toes. America thanks you Bill.

I think he has his good moments, but mainly says stuff to improve his ratings and sell his book.

I really dislike all of the new breed of talk show hosts who won't let their guests finish a thought with interrupting.

It's rude.

A lot of people also like the backstreet boys. Doesn't mean they are any good. Just flashy and, I guess, good looking. He is a smart guy, but his show make him look like a loud mouth pundit who never give his opponent a chance for rebuttal. I also tend to see his guest that isn't the same combative style that he is. I would love to see him go against the same kind of debator he is, like Al Sharpton.

I used to respect O'Reilly even though I disagreed with him most of the time; he at least back up his arguments with sound evidence so I could see his side but respectfully disagree. However he seems to have taken a bad turn, in my opinion. He looks like an idiot who just likes to hunt "liberals". Maybe it was that fight on C-SPAN with Al Franken that did it to him, but not I can't even respect Bill O'Reilly anymore- he sold out and went commercial.

You are right Franken has nothing to say...however Ann Coulter does. You may not agree with her politics but she is intelligent and devoted to her cause.

eh...she said that if you're not a conservative and you're against the war in Iraq you're guilty of treason(on Hardball last year when her book came out)...she strikes me as very passionate and articulate, but I'm not sure about intelligent

pundits

AnnCoulter may be intellegent and articulate, but she's also smug and condescending.
O'Reilly? I only very occassionally agree with him. He's careful to interview folks incapable of matching his debating skills.

True in many cases. And if a person is a good match, they all simply try to shout him/her down. That's what I object to more than anything else.
