Follow the money, which in this case means follow the ratings.
O'Reily can see that Trump is suddenly a contender in the GOP race simply because of this one issue. My guess is the show with Trump on it had good ratings.
O'Reily is all about himself. He pitched Obama a bunch of softball questions because he knew the interview would get high ratings.
The fact is (given his 8 PM timeslot) O'Reily's ratings are down. He's looking for an issue to draw ratings. If this turns out to be a ratings winner for O'Reily, he'll ride with it.

You are probably right. BOR is indeed just out for BOR. I’m merely speculating that Trump might be using BOR as a conduit to get info he wants out about Obama’s docs. We’ll know better after watching what BOR has to say tonite. If he just generalizes and also once again slants it more towards giving Obama the benefit of the doubt, then I will know that BOR is indeed just out for himself as usual, and Trump wants no part in using BOR to get info out. I suspect your angle on this is the right one, however, I guess I am just being altruistic in hoping that more info will come out because BOR is seeing the light and is actually more curious since Trump presented his viewpoint on BOR’s show the other day.
Silly me to think that BOR could actually start to think deeply about a subject. Well, it will be interesting to watch to see how BOR approaches this topic tonite. Probably just some more of the same wishy washy cr*p to attract viewers with no real substance. I lean more towards your interpretation rather than my own speculation here.
Jim zotted him, take it up with him.
I’ll never watch this living POS again. I’ll read about it here at FR. I’ll watch the Judge on FBN instead, although I have to admit I was very disappointed and disgusted to put the Judge on last night have the despicable Juan Williams looking back at me. Williams is one of several diseases that Fox News has contracted that have caused me to abandon ship.
I'm thinkin' he's going to try to help O out.
His ratings are down cause everyone is watching Idol and Dancing with the Stars (including me). I’m tired of watching the back and forth pundit games. LOL
Geez, mareez, it’s worse than I thought. BOR is on right now totally defending Obama and kissing off Donald Trump basically as one of those crazy Birthers. BOR is outdoing himself in brown nosing and kissing Obama’s *ss. Why would I ever have thought otherwise, considering BOR’s inate fence sitting propensities, although he’s gotten off the fence w/regards to Obama, he’s very obviously on Obama’s side here. BOR is making me sick. What makes me equally sick is that BOR goes up against Alan Colmes (a total lib) and Monica Crowley who obviously knows very little about the details of Obama’s BC and his missing records. Therefore, BOR is able to roll her because she has not studied up on this case of the missing docs to be able to refute what BOR slings out there. This man (BOR) makes me want to puke.
