You do realize O'Reilly is an entertainer and political pundant and not a journalist right?

Most of the time I think he is a bloviating popinjay with a slight churlish tendency. Of course that's just my opinion.

The map is wrong. When you count Social Security retirement and medicare that's payed for by the people collecting it's not free stuff.

I had to look up bloviating popinjay. I just learned a new term.

I had to look up bloviating. What a wonderful word! Your description of O'Rielly is accurate (JMHO). I think it can be used to for any number of political talking heads, on both sides of the aisle.

I actually watched a bit of FOX news they day after the election just to see their take on it all. I felt like O'Reilly was one of the more fair pundits reporting on the election. He is definitely guilty of doing everything he can to influence the narrative but he also has his moments of fairness. I would much rather get my news from Bill than a scoundrel like Rush Limbaugh.

Has Rush ever claimed to be a news person ? If you watch Bill regularly you will find he's one of the most fair on any network.

I agree. BTW O'Rielly is insanely intelligent, well educated, and motivated. I think this over the top behavior and inflammatory statements he makes is purposeful and calculated. Rush on the other hand may very well not be republican at all, or at least I hope not. I would rather like to think Rush doesn't believe some of the vile things he says. Like you I also watch fox and listen to republican radio in an effort to get all sides, but I can only take so much shouting and straw men.

Does that mean his opinion is unworthy of mention? some would describe such a charactization as bigoted.
