Argh... This is a one page debate on the difference between a journalist and a commentator.

Here's what I think about Geraldo, I think the guy has an excuse for being a crappy journalist.

He's stupid.

I mean, the hooplah over Al Capone's long lost vault....that could have been kind of cool if it had worked out, but it didn't.  Not Geraldo's fault really..

The whole "drawing our position in the sand incident", was because he is just an idiot.  You can't knock someone for having a birth defect (stupidity), thats like laughing at a crippled kid in a wheelchair because you can out run them.

The whole "I'm crying at the sight of children stranded by Hurricane Katrina" thing, I mean, he has a heart, but once again, lost his bearing on national TV because he's stupid.

And finally, saying that he wished child molestors would be lynched.......his heart is in the right place but there is no one home upstairs.


Bill O'Reilly on the other hand, knows what he is saying, doesn't care and is just a bad journalist period, because he can't respect another persons opinion.  He makes mistakes and then doesn't correct them, instead repeating them over and over and then playing them off.  Etc etc etc.

Bill O'Reilly is, put simply, not just a bad journalist but a bad human being. Period.

Just because you liberals disagree with him, doesnt mean he is a bad reporter/journalist whatever. . .

The guy has the biggest viewership in the USA. . . period, no one comes close to his audience.

He blows away his competition, so he must be doing something right. . . .cause if he was the worst (as you left wing liberals think) nobody would be watching him. . . correct?

Funny thing is I bet half his audience IS liberals who hate him!!! lol, similar to Howard Stern, half of his listeners are Stern haters!!

I bet there are some guys from the New York Times, The LA Times, who could steal worst journalist title! Flat out hacks. . . .

Bottom line. . . O'Reilly is neither a reporter or a journalist, he is an entertainer. . .and a good one judging by his popularity day in and day out!

I'm not a liberal.  I'm actually quite conservative.   Also, yes he is.

So?  American Idol kills in the ratings, but is it a good show?  Not really.  He kills in the ratings because people want to see what a douche he is or they want to see how big of an ass he makes of himself.  Go to youtube and type in his name and 17 pages worth of Bill O'Reilly fuck ups appear.  Do the same for Anderson Cooper or someone less "douchebaggy" and hardly anything comes up.  Why?  Because news done right is boring, people want to see the Jerry Springer of the News World.

See above.  Also, once again, I'm not a liberal.

Yeah..........which proves my point.

Yeah, actually he is, we've already proven that.  If he was an entertainer, he would be on HBO or Showtime not a News network that claims to be Fair and Balanced, because Bill O'Reilly is neither of those.  He's popular because he's a fuck up.  No one likes Geraldo, but how in the hell do you think he's stayed on the air for 20+years?  Because he's a fuck up and people like to watch other people fuck up.

The guy is an idiot. One day he will just shove his fingers in his ears and yell 'LA LA LA NOT LISTENING' and so an and so forth, just like a pre-schooler.

Its a pity he has the ability to turn his 'guests' microphones off, other wise i think we would have seen this tactic sooner.

I'm moderate towards right of center in my political views but I agree 100% that O'Reilly is fucking retard.

I'm a republican and he is without a doubt a bad reporter/journalist.  And beyond that he's just an arrogant prick.  Bill O'Reilly is bad for moderate conservatives.

Even funnier is that you've blatantly contradicted yourself. You've tried to prove that high ratings = popularity, and then say that high ratings are due to unpopularity!

Keith Olbermann called him the “Sisyphus of Morons”…

Albert Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus
Sisyphus, from Greek mythology, was condemned for eternity to repeat the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.

No.  I am saying it is simple enough not to watch him, which it turn means you do not have to give two shits about what he says.

Thats too hard for people/liberals though. . . .For instance, I dont watch Wolf Bitzer, cause I think he is a liberal hack.  Nor did watch Dan Rather cause he is one too. . .

You know how I was able to keep those two douche bags out of my life, and not be too worried about it?. . .EASY!! I didnt watch they're program(s). . . . .
