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.
