He’s one of the few folks I CAN watch on TV. I don’t watch much, but when making dinner I have the TV on.
The networks are useless to me, History Channel used to be interesting, now its too many commercials. Gretta annoys me, I get sick of missing people (kidnappings and murders are common here in Chicago, I don’t need to hear about the same one for 3 months), Shepp I can’t stand, Geraldo... no way, I like Special Report and the panel usually (mainly for Krautheimer), and I can only take 3 “your a great american” from Hannity, then he has to go as well. Beck, I love Beck, but its like watching a repeat (I know Obama surrounds himself with communists, but I don’t want to get depressed at dinner time every night).
So, yeah, they all suck, but I get a fairer perspective than before FOX. I wonder what it would all be like w/o FOX again. I am thankful that they are out there, giving the other side to many stories that would otherwise never see light of day, or be so full of propaganda from the left.
So, there really isn’t much on.
I wish someone would have the balls to push through the “Ala Carte” cable bill, so we would only have to pay for the channels we watch. The networks would die, and better programming would be put on those that wanted to survive.
So yeah, I like BOR, even if only for half his content. Half is better than the 0% I get out of non-Fox stations.
Oh yeah, I especially like when he has the girls on. Malkin and Coulter. I watch sometimes just to see them pop on. Even Megan, I love her too. They have more balls than his male guests and normally smack him around some.
While i don’t watch any news channels but Fox there is no way i can tolerate O’Reilly who happens to be one of the smuggest people i have ever had the displeasure of seeing.
I no longer watch Beck for the reason you stated. Hes become a broken record.
I suppose I am also in this minority club that enjoys Bill’s show. Yes he is a boorish, arrogant individual, but sometimes I think he takes a ‘devil’s advocate’ role just to make the exchange interesting. I get none of that with Hannity; his show has become extremely trite, and like someone said, the great great great American Panel (I cringe at that name) is so tedious that I have to turn it off.
My take on O’Reiley: I don’t always agree with him, but he attempts to pin his guests down for their opinions, and will do whatever it takes to get there. Palin continues to be a lightweight to me, and I will never get over the fact that she quit her elected job.
