O'Reilly is just biased - not in the same direction all the time, and he has a very thin skin for getting called for false information

IMHO he has a poor quality show - I usually turn to Hannity instead ( not much better).
I'm not looking for a Bush lap dog show - I like Savage the best for now.

Haven't you noticed BY NOW folks?
1)Bill O'Reilly has a great show...BUT
2)Bill has a thin skin
3)If someone criticizes, questions or otherwise goes after him in a way that he goes after his guests he truly goes ballistic.
4)Bill O'Reilly then SPINS running a SPIN ZONE against whomever he is upset with at the time and pounds away at it constantly.
I am a HUGE FAN of his tv. show, radio show, and his books...
But he is NOT an objective person in a NO SPIN Zone -- no one doing any kind of advocacy program (right or left) can be, and we see that even journalists of all ideological stripes really cannot be totally objective.
He is very very thin skinned and uses his t.v. and radio shows to go after someone and generally when he does that his charges and claims against the person are truly overblown, seeming to be more of a trantrum from a highly paid and highly talented on-the-air-talent than a No Spin commentary.
He has done this repeatedly to people and institutions that I AGREE with him are not objective. He just goes into overdrive with exaggeration, and doesn't let up.
It truly is his Achielles Heel because each time he does it it chips away at his most precious commodity...his credibility.
Again I AM a HUGE fan of his tv show, radio show and books -- and of him. I listen to him and watch him all the time.
But I now take him with a huge grain of salt on most things because I see how he frames criticism of himself.

Whenever I get sick of Sean, I'll turn to O'Reilly. At six when i'm at work, I listen to Mark Levin. Seven at home, it's streaming Larry Elder on the cable modem. I like Laura Ingraham, but her and a few others when you call their show, you get five seconds to talk.
I don't like John and Paul on WABC and that's why I'm getting Rush24.
