To me, he proves the point that you can do a balanced job of allowing an opposing point of view to be fairly represented and heard, no matter what your own point of view is. You have to set that standard of fairness as your professional ethic and hold to it with integrity.

Agree with you.

Don't care what guy's politics is as long as he's up front and doesn't lie about it and tries to be fair.

I happen to think if news is presented in a fair manner most Americans can see through the propaganda BS. Some of the announcers on Fox do have liberal leanings but they do a pretty good job of presenting both sides.

But then I remember the many years of the Big Three and no conservative talk radio or Internet or conservative newspapers. Talk about your worst nightmare.

I'll take an O'Reily broadcast to any of them any day. If they couldn't make me sellout my values no snob like O'Reily will.

They'll report. I'll decide.

Just like always.

Maybe I'm missing something but you moved out, right? In you own 'residence'? He is still in house, right? The house is his 'residence?'

NO newscaster, who bills (no pun intended) himself as "objective" should be announcing his political or ideological leanings especially on 60 Minutes. Why would he even appear on 60 Minutes or anything else? Bill O'Reilly is so full of himself that he fancies HIMSELF as being news. I dont know of any anchor that has ever given an interview of himself and, if so, included his social or political beliefs.

Oh Reilly is so desperate to be accepted, while trying to pretend that he is indeed his own man, that he's living a schitzo life. You can see it every night on his show (something I will no longer do.)

His BS line to anyone who appears on his show is that "you're a stand up guy" was making me sick. Liberals know that he's a sucker for being accepted so they have been coming on his show lately in droves (Naomi Wolfe?? Did anyone see THAT the other night?)

They get to go on his show, hawk their books and nauseate us with their idiotic, insipid liberal talking points and he's clueless. All because he wants to be accepted. Well congrats, Bill, you're now accepted the problem is that you've lost your core audience. The one who at least believed that no matter what you believed you wouldnt be stupid enough to open your mouth.
