O'Reilly stands up for the President on a lot of issues. I'll take that kind of tabloid tv in prime time.
I’d say he stands up for America on a lot of issues. Sometimes I wonder if the President or any political party has Americans as their best interests
Of course he does, thats part of his schpiel/appeal, and I have no doubt that O'Reilly is passionate about his proclamations. But what we have here is Tabloid Television, of which the ratings and bottom line are all important. So it makes perfect sense that in this day and age of tabloid television, that established *media stars* such as O'Reilly or Hannity would 'set up' a confrontational topic with an adversary just for the ratings and notoriety.
Call me a cynic if you like, but thats the way I see it
