Exactly. But then neither do the biggest portion of his viewers so he gets away with it.
He is also very petty and vindictive as a result of his extremely thin skin. Here's merely one, out of many instances, that can be cited:
"As I recall what brought Bill O'Reilly to say that someone should kill Matt Drudge shows exactly how petty Mr. O'Reilly can be.
"Drudge had posted the news that O'Reilly was starting a radio show and it was believed that O'Reilly thought that he could take on and defeat Rush.
"O'Reilly denied that he was starting a radio show.
"Drudge persisted even stating that O'Reilly was paying stations to take his show.
"For days O'REilly had some pretty nasty (hateful?) things to say about Drudge -- then there was that Imus show statement that someone should kill Matt Drudge. O'Reilly's emphasis.
"Shortly after that he started his radio show."

I do not have a TV and have never seen O'Reilly's show. I used to listen to his radio show but I stopped listening when O'Reilly trashed Viet Nam war veterans opposing Kerry to curry favor with Kerry -- O'Reilly wanted Kerry on his TV/radio shows and, post election, stated that he and Kerry were friends.
No spin? My gosh O'Reilly's a whirling dervish!
