Could you imagine sharing a dinner with a raving lunatic? “Which one?” you might ask.
O’Reilly’s ratings were high because he held the moderate viewers both Democrat and Republican. He always had good guests on and his segments were entertaining.
But in saying that, he was still a coward, afraid to face off against the people he attacked.
Can’t disagree with that statement.
O’Reilly was “fair”with everyone, meaning that he didn’t listen and inserted his own bizarre “common sense” to argue with every decent point of view. He was ok to Trump but I still hated to hear O’Reilly interview anyone.
I think O’Reilly was generally fair. To be honest with you, he was much harder on crazy liberals like Barney Frank.
For me a war between Markie and BORe is like the Iran - Iraq war. I didn’t know whom to root for and whom the want to see lose or win. I wanted them both to loose.
BORe was/is/always will be a phony and Markie just wants to be part of the winning team.
I’d agree BOR was ok half the time. He was obnoxious and ill informed the other half of the time. Interesting to me one of his last guests was Lou Dobbs who told BOR off and had no tolerance for all of Bill’s strange obstructions.
Despite his vaunted aggressiveness, O’Reilly was really a finger-to-the-wind kind of guy on almost every political subject. He just about ALWAYS waited to see the direction things were going before staking out his own position. Some would call that wise. Someone like Dobbs would call it weak.
Oddly, O’Reilly did not do that with Trump who was a personal friend of his. He invariably tried to present Trump’s side of every argument or misunderstanding.
I agree he was good to Trump. But he insisted on weird opinions. He kept telling Dobbs that we can buy off Putin over Iran but that we can’t bribe China and therefore can’t stop NK. Where does he even get this stuff? He’s like a guy who has to argue with everyone in the tavern.
Back in the Clintoon administration we got DTV only because of Bill O’Reilly...guess we’ll miss him.
That’s not the point
We don’t defend only who we like
O Reilly and Limbaugh detested one another yet Rush just opened saying just what I’ve been saying
The liberal Murdoch youngers
Issues from nearly 15 years ago some of which are just silly crap like the at first welcomed by the women dildo orgasm till she later figured there was an easy payday in it over 10 years ago
Lisa Bloom a major orchestrator in all this and a major rapist in chief donator organizer with her mom Gloria Allred
It goes on and on
It was an orchestrated take down by leftist hypocrites
The Left can’t win via ratings so they choose to destroy you
That’s exactly what happened here and nobody here lived Obutthead whom we knew not to be super conservative but that’s not how the rest of the media thought of him
Now they will continue to head hunt while they never suffer consequence for anything
That’s no victory
You guys have let your personal animus against OButthead which is shared by nearly all of us here cloud the real issue
Which is the Left will try to take down anyone in public life they disagree with regardless of the merit or how much of a egotistical blowhard take one is
The younger Murdoch have ignored their fathers wisdom to push their 1.5 billion dollar cash flow annually FNC further Left I guess just to get invited to more cocktail parties
Again nothing to celebrate except Tucker and Bolling
If we lose Fox completely we’ll I’m sure some of y’all remember how that used to be
And yes the internet helps but it won’t offset it
Good day to each of you
PS the real victor here is who started the takedown
Emily Steel a millennial at the New York Times
A crusade for her
I Don’t believe in kicking someone when they are down.
I will not defend the Luffa Boy. His history is long and repugnant. He brought this on himself
You’re going to remember how this all started if one day Fox is barely distinguishable from the other Alphabets
Just to educate me
You seem to know
What did he do precisely
I’ve read the concensual phone sex story
Some overt flattery talk
Hot chocolate comment
The only one I think is egregious is the phone sex with another woman while married
I assume he cheated on his wife
Are we to discard every man or woman who does that ?
I doubt you think that
I’m unaware he forced anything or quid pro quo on anyone
The roar did him in
And yes I don’t like him either
You don’t to respond but remember our discussion
It won’t end her
Geraldo is lucky he’s fairly lib or they’d be on his formerly quaalude addled butt
Why not go after the lovely Baritoromo or Guilfoyle or for God sake Jeanine Pierro
I love all those gals but their closets are full too of not so great romantic behavior
Anyhow
Have you really dug into this I’d like to see links you might could change my mind if you have something bad
Wendy Walsh ultra lib
NOW
Lisa Bloom the architect
I dig into all I see is boorish behavior and easy payoffs for women most of whom weren’t forced into being with him
Juliet Huddy filed after the fact she was with him?
I mean really
He’s an arrogant idiot I’ll give you that but these women are motivated mostly by money or politics
Rupert and Roger just paid them off...
The media acts like only Fox has sexual friction
Imagine the gay intrigue at MSNBC lol
The only victims are see are his wife(s) and kids
Fox is already indistinguishable from the alphabets
Hardly
Republicans eating their own
I understand. He is hard to defend but the Leftists are worse.
Not surprised to see you two on the sensible side
Salute
