O'Reilly has been such a letdown, and I only watch when I really care to see a certain guest. His dismissive attitude toward the Swiftboat Veterans was deplorable. Last week, he said he felt bad for Dan Rather.

I just started watching his show over the last year. Was he better before?

Wasn't there a rumor that BO would try to replace Rather if the axe finally falls at seeBS?

I watched him for a long time. He's went from Fair and Balanced to Flat and Boring. He's more concerned about getting his fair ratios and percentages right than he is about doing decent news anymore.

I watch him sometimes for stuff like the Bush interview, but otherwise, I stick to Hannity and Ichabod Clueless. I like Snow and Gibson, and Brit's good, but Greta rubs me the wrong way.

It's funny, but O'Reilly can sound like a Birkenstocker sometimes. I just cock my head at the TV and knit my eyebrows. Sometimes, however, he gets it right -and can be extremely bright, very fast with a psychological insight. He's truly a wild card. I don't know what his game is. I'm afraid to watch him for fear that he'll pull a boneheadism.

" Was he better before?"

I believe he had novelty value, especially for those of us who grew up with network anchor-scum and 60-Minutes as the whole of it. Looking back, i don't think he ever was all that conservative. I don't remember him roasting the clintons for their crimes, although I may be wrong.

Yes, he that was his attitude the first time they were on. I was disgusted.

But the second time he had them on he really changed his tune. He was much more respectful and positive.
He almost sounded converted.

I quit watching him 6-7 years ago. The answer is ''No''.

O'R lasted one week in our viewing habits here in flyover land. He's rude, ill-informed, biased as Rather and just as nutty. You haven't or won't lose much by not watching him.
