If the pompous ass had any competition at all he would never have the first slot...
Who?
I would imagine that the cable news shows rating go down unless there is some great event. I would tend to think that rating for these shows would go up during election seasons and down whenever there is not an election. Also, when these cable news programs dedicate half their shows to the Duke Lacrosse team and the missing blonde of the month people just get tired of that.
I bet CNN, MSNBC and the rest wish that they had Fox News ratings
Bill O'Reilly's show is becoming a bit repetitive, as has Greta's:
Greta keeps her predictable focus on a handful of over-covered high profile legal cases like the missing blond girl in Aruba, the same four experts arguing the same points endlessly, day after day. And the Duke stipper case. Same points endlessly, day after day.
Bill has become a one-man crusader against child molesters.
Not that that's a bad thing to be, but it gets old. And it's the last thing your average 25 year old wants to watch!
It's child molesters, or carrying on about the words "pithy" and "popinjay".
Both of them need to mix it up a bit more. They're getting lazy, IMHO. And that's two hours in primetime when many viewers have returned home from work, without any hard news, at all!! Just predictable formula stuff.
Can't stand CNN for more than about 3 minutes at a time, but find myself wishing more and more, there was a second Fox, to keep the first one innovating and hungry.
Mr Bill makes me think of the movie Nell? Tway in da win ...Tway in da wind.
I'm 25, but I can't say I've ever watched a full O'Reilly show.
I'd rather watch ESPN :)
It's so odd to hear anyone going on about this guy. I absolutely refuse to read watch or listen to him.
He's a self-admitted jive merchant in the "Infotainment Business". He does'nt care for or believe in anything except ratings...Period.
Plus, he's got mean little beady eyes. He really is not a nice man. ( He actually could be John McCains dead brother.)
They're all hacks IMO.
O'Reilly lost me with the price gouging. Approving of the "windfall profit" tax. Whatever.
Hannity makes up his mind and then shuts it down to any reasoning that might be made available afterwards.
Hell, even Neal Boortz will take an opinion to heart if you have facts to back it up.
In the name of conservatism, you HAVE to have an open mind, determine what is fact and what is fiction and make a decision.
He needs a new phone sex scandal to pump up the ratings amongst college kids again.
Perhaps The O Factor's numbers have slipped, but that probably means, so did everyone else's.
Bill O jumped the shark when he interviewed Jenna Jameson
What was compelling with O'Reilly when he started was that unlike the typical TV journalist, more like a litigating attorney, he followed up on answers, even for a third, fourth and further tries.
Unfortunately what became quickly obvious is that he is both ignorant and often just plain stupid and too pompous to recognize either fact.
Who watches this guy???
Have to give BOR credit for going after ACLU, pedophiles, corrupt judges, Rev. Jesse Jackson (who is too scared to appear on his show). Not many in the media dare to tackle these issues. And he can be interesting.
What I don't understand is why his many of his critics keep referring to him as a conservative. There is one lefty talk show host - her name escapes me at the moment - who goes into a frenzy over BOR and keeps repeating the same inane slurs against him. Either BOR is too effective in his critique of ACLU and pedophiles or he dumped her in the past. Whatever, she is one bitter woman.
Compared with the competition, BOR is the best in his time slot. If you want something fluff and tabloid, try to watch Rita's show on MSNBS.
For those bitter about Fox, BOR and TV news in general, I recommend Brit Hume and Lou Dobbs.
For me, a new low - in every sense of the word - was when he announced that the Scriptures say that "slavery is okay."
