O'Reilly has fallen into the trap of those who become too successful too quickly. He went from tabloid "journalist" to The Factor, and now he's believing his own press. He's cantankerous on the show, even when he takes up conservative causes. Instead of understanding people watch the show to hear a spirited defense of the ideals, O'Reilly apparently believes they watch in order to see him interrupt guests, browbeat anyone with whom he disagrees, and pontificate even when it seems obvious he's not done a lot of research,
regardless of the topic or his take on it. The more he looks for topics that allow him to bloviate instead of topics that appeal to your average Fox viewer, and the more he takes sides on issues based solely on what will allow him the opportunity to yell the loudest, the more likely it is his ratings will dive. His 15 minutes are almost up.
As for his comments that Drudge must die, well, that's just indefensible. I thought "kill anyone who disagrees with you" was a Clinton trick, not a Republican one. By the way, has O'Reilly ever said "Drudges numbers are wrong"? Or is he just using typical leftist tactics and attacking the messenger to distract from the message?

His "in your face" attitude is precisely what has made him the number one prime time cable show!

Hardly. EVERYBODY put up against him on MSNBC and CNN fails.
Sorry you don't like O'Reilly, but LOTS of other people do, as evidenced by his ratings.
