I couldn’t tell you the last time I turned on ANY television “news” program, incl. Fox. The last I remember, Neil Cavuto was the only one worth more than 5 minutes. O’Reilly was a real breath of fresh air for the first few years, but he too-quickly devolved into a narcissistic jackass.
O’Reilly enjoys preening and bloviating with his female guests.
Thanks for making my post for me. That nails it.
BOR used to have a producer, Arthel Neville (daughter of one of the Neville Brothers of New Orleans music fame), who would come on and verbally spar with him. While she was leftist, she acted as a court jester to keep BOR from getting too full of himself. He went downhill for me when she left; he quickly became unwatchable due to his ego constantly being on display.
