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.
(What exactly happened in this "interview?")
Well since nobody else answered you I'll give it a shot.Kerry would not apear on BOs show so instead he had on a couple of Kerry shills answering questions he would have asked Kerry if he were there.From what I saw of it, it was a plus for Bush but it would have been much funnier if he would have used conflicting footage of kerry in the past to answer the questions.
Amen!
If you've got cable and you're sick and tired of the has-been O'Reilly (as I am)...then DO NOT WATCH HIS SHOW. His ratings WILL reflect the drop in viewship.
I don't believe that "member from" dates should be an issue, especially if/when the newer person is correct.
That day came for me when BO tore down Jerry Falwell right after 9/11. As a liberal atheist through the 80's and most of the 90's, I detested Falwell. After finding God's forgiveness through Christ, I was able to hear most of the Christians clearly but still had a chip on the shoulder where Falwell was concerned. Well, that chip came off when BlowOff ripped into Falwell over statements of which examples can be seen over and over in the Bible.
Now anytime I hear O'Reilly on the radio, the station gets changed or the radio goes off.
O'Reilly's only the worst of an increasingly bad network. Obsession with 'fairness' is clouding their judgement.
Judgement means being able to tell the difference between right and wrong. Hitler was wrong, and it was good judgement to say so repeatedly in the 1930's (and beyond), not 'unfairness'.
Fairness, for the sake of fairness, is simple-mindedness.
Been through with him for months !!!
I was appalled at his lame non-interview interview. My wife and I both said that was it, no more O'reilly.
bill o'reilly has not figured out yet that in polarized america you cannot pretend to be above the fray and fair.
you're either on our side, or you're on theirs.
i resented the way he described ann coulter's 2nd book as "propaganda". when he interviewed her for her 3rd book, he was condescending to her. ditto when he interviewed tammy bruce.
and i resented even more the way he treated the swift boat vets.
That is what I like about FR. This is exactly the reason I find fault with his program as of now. Every now and then he does something good. Last week, he ripped into Al Jazera(sp) for being a terrorist news network. It is not only time to shut them down but find out who is feeding them info. How come they get interviews/film of terrorists but the military cant find these guys? Go after them - big time!
Couldn't agree more about BO being obnoxous. I will watch, but only because I want to get the other side of the coin - I will not watch MSM news. At the end of the day I will always vote with the elephant on the presidential level, but the local level, at least out in MO, is offering some really good conservative Dems that deserve a look. BTW, our school district is pretty conservative despite what you all may think about districts.
Go W
I've been here almost 3 years, and this is the first time I've seen anyone complain about an "All Caps" title. No one else on this thread complained. There are two articles currently in Breaking News with all caps titles, and no one's complaining about those.
Regarding this thread belonging in chat...It seems the moderators didn't think so, and that's their job, not ours.
I don't believe that "member from" dates should be an issue, especially if/when the newer person is correct.
Personally, I think posters should hang around awhile before they go preaching to long time members about posting guidelines. The posting police currently are fully staffed.
Would you like it if I came to your house to eat, and told you how to make cornbread?
That you know of. You're describing the problem, not the excuse.
Personally, I think posters should hang around awhile before they go preaching to long time members about posting guidelines.
LOL I made a wisecrack and you got your knickers bunched. You, on the other hand, are in a lathery dudgeon.
Cheers
I, too will renounce your POS Factor show and I believe he is just about ready to crash over the precipice!
Mr. O, take your rating consciously, egotistical, arrogant little man and shove your show up what the sun does not shine!
In addition, the mods don't look at every thread to determine where it should go unless they are called to it with a complaint. It is up to the original poster to determine best where the thread should go. In addition, as conservatives, we shouldn't need authority figures pointing things out - we should be able to self-police ourselves. Now, you don't think that someone's email to BOR is 'news', do you?
The 'newbie' may have been here as long as you. Or maybe even as long as I have, as a lurker. Regardless, the point of being correct still stands (versus the member from date).
This isn't the original poster's "house", so your comparison there falls flat.
Some just catch on faster than others, I guess. ;)
Turned off Bill long ago. All that he offers is an obnoxious display of what an out-of-control ego does to a person.
You wanna strike for moderator, fill out an application and get hired.
