BILL O'REILLY











Before, I had always thought Bill Mahr did the worst interviews on TV, but at least he has an excuse, he's a comedian.  Bill O'Reilly is just a fat, worthless, shit encrusted tampon string hanging out of a fat womans ass.

I find the fact he works for a network that prides itself on being "Fair and Balanced" to completely ironic and ludicrous.  He has no respect for other people, historical facts, common sense or other people's opinions.  He pretty much stands against every single ideal that good journalists hold dear.  He's conducts horrible interviews that are boring when they go smooth, because it is two people agreeing with each other.  He conducts horrible interviews that are irritating and frustrating when the other person has an opinion that differs from his own, because he will chastise and try to talk above them and finally tell his techs to cut their mics.

Despite all his short comings, he really doesn't have anything to offer in the first place.  He doesn't report breaking news and he really doesn't give the other side a chance or a stage to promote their views, so what in the fucking piss is the point of his show in the first place besides a platform for him to show the world what a fat worthless sack of maggot shit he is?  He constantly attacks "radicals" which in reality are only left wing radicals, despite the fact he is probably the biggest right wing nut job short of Dick Cheny or Paul Wolfowitz.  As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet if G.W. Bush walked in his studio and dropped trou, Bill-O would be sucking the presidential cock faster than Monica Lewinsky.

This type of Journalism is just one of the many problems with this country.  The bi-partinship of the goverment and the media is absoulutly dreadful.  They belittle the goverment, the military and the American people everytime the drivel on about this meaningless non-sense, attacking, defending and counterattacking the right, left and middle thinking minds every chance they get.  Bill Mahr is no better, he is a left wing version of Bill O'Reilly, a cocksucking, self-important douche bag.  Trying to watch a debate on Bill Mahr's show is like trying to scratch the inside of your anus with a pipe cleaning wire brush soaked in Ajax.

Personally, I think Bill O'Reilly and Bill Mahr should be put on a boat together in the middle of the ocean and made to fight to the death.  Once the winner has been declared he wins the honor of reading the letter that staes the boat is going to sink.  They are both horrible hosts, journalists and people.  They need to take themselves off the air or have someone take them off the air.

He is not a Journalist. Nor does he pretend to be.

He damn sure is not fair and balanced also.

Hahaha -- I loved the vid with the Colo. She answered his question the second she stated  -- THE LOCATION of the incident is contested...fin

I'm surprised people of any political leaning bother to go on the show since he obviously doesn't "tolerate" anything to the contrary in terms of his political leanings.

I'm not sure O'Reilly would consider himself a journalist, but I think in the same way he doesn't consider himself a Republican, he's an independent that just happens to always agree with Conservatives.  He's a fucking pundit with his own hour long show.  I don't look to him for any kind of news because that is not what he provides.  But at the same time, his show is on the FOX NEWS channel implying that it is somehow related to news.  which is where I think he differs from Maher, whos show is on HBO, an entertainment channel.  Maher's show is considered entertainment for liberals,  just like O'Reilly's show is entertainment for Conservatives.

Personally, I find Maher far less caustic than O'Reilly,  but Maher's show does have an intentional comedic perspective.  If someone disagrees with Maher, they can tell him to go fuck himself.  Maher style seems to be more geared towards debate, a discussion of opinions.  I find more of an intellectual interaction.  I don't always agree with Maher, but he doesn't pretend for one second to not be an opinionated asshole. 

O'Reilly prefers talking points.  He aspouses his opinion,  the other person tries to aspouse theirs, usually being interrupted by a rightously indignant O'Reilly, who swiftly dismisses his guests opinion, reasserting his own.  When the guest tries to speak again, their mic is cut or the subject is abruptly changed to the next set of talking points.  He's a douche bag, but that's why he has a show. 

Personally, I enjoy the way he brings guests onto his show, like Ret-Gen. Wesley Clark, and then proceeds to lecture them on how the military works.  Because O'Reilly would have a better grasp of how the military works than a retired 4 Star General.

so as usmarine2007 offered, I choose not to watch him.

Probably next to all the clips of smearing that Fox News has done on Democrats for several years now.

Yup. The Malmedy comments ( X 2 ) is a pretty good example of buffoonery.

He has an opinion which he does not hide. It has always been my understanding that once they add their opinion they become commentators.

So he's a commentating journalist.  Also, I don't give a fuck what he says on his show, he's still a journalist.  I can sit here all day and tell you I'm not a computer technician, but at the end of the day, by text book definition, I am a computer technician.  Also, I happen to love the wild outdoors, you know, that place where there are no computers, so does that mean I cannot be a computer technician?  No, that means I'm a computer technician that likes the wild outdoors.

Bill O'Reilly is a commentating journalist.  A shitty commentating journalist.

That I can agree with. In fact I hold many conservative views but watching him can be nauseating. Watching him cut his guest off and talk over them can be annoying.
