How funny. I couldn't find anything else to watch either and I had exactly the same reactions that you did.
O’Reilly is television journalism's version of McCain.
No offense to you but I'd rather watch my lawn grow or paint dry than watch O'Reilly. I used to watch his show alot but like many TV hosts, success went to his head when HE became bigger than the stories he covers. Now he's a self-important, puffed-up blowhard--kind of a cable news version of John McCain.
There's nothing genuine about O'Reilly.
wait for the next breeze, the big O will bend
Persona non grata
All that talk is ok, except that he ca;;s for indepedent commission. Why we need another commission after seeing all the comedy of 911 commission? I don't like his attitude towards swifties. Like he was begging for Kerry's interview, he already started begging for Hillary to come on his show.
Speaking of Scientology, I read that book Dianetics last month and I could not believe the utter cr*p that is in that thing, and that`s if I could keep my eyes open long enough without falling asleep. It was literally like reading the ramblings of a madman, a Ted Kancinzki type schitzo trying to explain to himself why he is nuts by coming up with wacko theorys and plots that just go on and on and on and on, it just never ends.
I finally came to the conclusion that the reason he constantly harps on this thing called "the clear" is simply because L.Ron cannot think clearly. That`s all it is. He cannot reach a "clear" mind because he`s insane, and the whole book is about him trying to do that. That`s all it is, and all these people who follow it are only following something that was the mental hell of L.Ron Hubbard.
All these celebs like Cruise following it, I don`t know what their reason is, but I suspect it`s because of something similar to L.Ron. They can`t accept who they are, and they go crazy trying to change it by believing in this garbage.
I'd wish he'd stop 'oviating'.
The GOOD, The BAD & The O'Reilly............
His dismissal of the Swift Boat Vets was the end for me... That and his "I have to do an independent investigation" crapola. Still waiting for those conclusions (NOT).
I still watch it, too, for the same reason. Sometimes I do mute part of his show.
I have a different take on the Scientology segment. He did keep mentioning that you had to PAY for help, etc.
I did not know Greta was part of the cult. I am not surprised he did not mention that. He rarely mentions her at all.
There are times that I think he does not watch Fox at all - he will contradict what other shows have said/done. He is a pompous windbag - and no one had better DARE disagree with him.
He was hitting the St Petersberg Times last night. One of the most biased papers in America. They are my hometown newspaper, and they make me ill.
Just seeing their headlines as I walk by makes me furious. I want SO MUCH to see their circulation drop. Their criteria for a front page story is, "Does it make conservatuves and Bush look bad."
O'Reilly is the first person I have heard in the media really take them on. And he minces no words about it. He called them "corrrupt" last night.
Your post, unfortunately, will be seen as flame bait.
There are scores of FR memebers who will not only stab O'Rielly and Hannity in the back, they will savage the bodies beyond recognition. Not content with just doing that, they will then proudly drag the bodies though the streets, proclaiming that somehow by their actions they have advanced the cause of liberty and conservatism.
O'Rielly, single handedly, and against all odds, took out Ali Arian (spelling is wrong, but he's the muslim-terrorist-professor from Florida). None of the slamming posters can claim anything that even approaches that, and yet, they carry on as though they are the saviors of the Union.
They ought to be so ashamed that they would change their names before ever posting here again.
I wish Jim RObinson would offer the same protection to O'Rielly and Hannity that he does to Rush. They certainly deserve and need it
Not everyone agrees with O'Reilly on everything and that's a good thing. I don't agree with him on somethings but the best thing he does is that he inspires dialogue about important issues. And not just mindless dribble etiher, he offers well-thought out opinions that encourages others to think as well.
Actually, I don't wonder why. This show was promo'd over the weekend, and with the breaking news yesterday morning that the 30-year-old mystery was finally solved and O'Reilly made no mention of it, it was clear that yesterday's show was pre-taped and O'Reilly was caught absent by breaking news.

"O'Really" tonight asked Douglas Brinkley something like "do soldiers today have the heart that Army Rangers in WWII had?" Or something to that effect?
He asked it like he did not think so? Which I found nauseating!!
