Bill,
After I transmit this letter, I will unsubscribe as a premium member. First, there is no reason for you to do a "interview" with a candidate that refuses to come on your program. I do not watch for fairness, I watch for facts. The facts are Senator Kerry has proven - through his record - to be against the interests of the United States time and time again. Instead of pointing this out to your viewers, you give him a pass and attack those who attempt to point out Senator Kerry's record. Also, your sexual harassment lawsuit is too much for me to take, especially when you have a book attempting to discuss morals with children. Your statement in the book about doing the smart thing not the right thing shows me how you view life. To you, it seems a matter of getting over and pulling a fast one.
It's been nice Bill, but you have deserted those who brought you to your current station in life. I do not need someone of your low morals to look after me.

Bill O'Reilly has deserted his core audience with lame attempts at being "fair." We want facts not fairness. Present the facts and we will make up our own minds. Your blatant attempt to be "fair" to someone such as Senator Kerry is sickening. Since he refused to come on your program, you should not have broadcast an fake interview. You do not do that with other's who refuse to come on your program so why with him? The second reason is this sexual harassment lawsuit. Due to my investigation - you see, I do not need you to investigate stories for me, I can do that myself - I have determined that you were somewhat remiss in your actions. Even Billy Graham - starting from the 50's - knew enough to not be alone with a woman other than his wife at any time. I feel sorry for your wife and kids as you have hurt them. But I cannot watch or support anyone that does not have the interests of the United States at heart but is a slave to ratings.
Last night was basically the last straw for my wife and I. His ersatz interview with Kerry was uncalled for and unneeded - just a lame attempt at ratings. Kerry declined to appear on O'Reilly and that should have been that. His attempt at being "fair" has obscured any search and reporting of facts for us to make up our own minds. Also, this lawsuit thing - I just feel that he is somewhat guilty in this. Maybe he did not go all out but I believe he put himself in a position to be taken advantage of. Which is sad - for his wife and kids. I pray that he can return to God. While I can forgive him I do not have to watch him or support him. I may watch from time to time but at 2000 will more than likely put the light out and go to bed.
I stopped watching Bill O'Really a few months ago when it became obvious to me that he was fairly unbalanced.
Damn--wish I had a premium membership to renounce! Good on ya.
Bill who?
Good for you.Couldn't agree more.
He'll be having a garage sale on Factor gear if this keeps up.
Good for you. Thanks for sharing your letter. I totally agree with your sentiment and since I'm not a premium member the only thing I can do is stop watching him.
Glad you came away! Trust me, you won't miss "O'Who?"
I will probably continue to watch but not every night as I have in the past. He's lost his compass.
I've soured on him a long time ago. All that talk about "the folks" is so elitist and condescending.
For someone who stated that he's only interested in facts, you condem on feelings?
Well, which is it?
Congratulations, come toward the light. Don't be afraid, the air is fresh and clear and the sunshine warm and bright, outside the 'no-spin zone' (so-called).
I don't understand what he did with the Kerry (no show) interview, could you summarize and describe? Probably lots of folks don't know. What was so bad about it?
We are through with Mr.O'Reilly also-he should come right out and endorse Kerry and for that matter whats Up with Fox News itself? I have been seeing lots of Kerry ads lately!!
I subscribed to cable a couple years ago to watch bill, but I have been turned off by his belief of what it means to be balanced. I just want facts. Let the chips fall.
Now, I turn off FOX when bill’s show starts, and play with my two girls (3yrs and 5yrs) it’s better for my health.

AS of yesterday, Mr. O'Really's radio show got shuffled off the air at KNEW 910 AM in the Bay Area.
Glenn Beck gets the morning slot and a new fella gets Glenn's afternoon slot.
Life IS good! 'cept if you're a blowhard. ;-)
I do not have a premium membership. I wish I did so I can give him my two cents worth. It is interesting that you have to PAY to email him directly.
I gave up on Bill O a year ago. I still tune in from time to time when he's going to have a good guest, like Newt, on but otherwise I just ignore him.
"Kerry declined to appear on O'Reilly and that should have been that."
AGREED!
He's making a donkey of himself.
We haven't watched him in months.
We are beginning to believe that his wealth and fame went to his BIG head. He really believes that if you don't appear on his royal show you're a rat. Yet when it comes to Kerry he bends over backwards to "be fair".
I say, screw this sophomoric crap about being "fair".
How about ACCURATE and HONEST news even if you don't like it?
He's been getting more and more pro-kerry over the months .... his interview with Holbrooke was an embarrassment. so much for the 'no-spin' zone, he let Holbrooke spin to his heart's content....
