I remember back 1995 when Bill first started. He was much better than he is now. He has gotten a little bit to self-absorbed and weak.
He used to take people on and if they were lying he would back them into the corner. THE SPIN used to stop there.
Now he allows people to spin and lie.
It is really too bad. I used to enjoy his show. Now it is Larry King “lite”,
As far as apologizing, O’Reilly is off his rocker.
The president is the Commander and Chief. He made a decision based on the information he had at the time. He has nothing to apologize for. Decisions are made and you live with them. Apologizing would embolden the enemy, Kerry, and do tremendous damage to troop morale. Not to mention the memory of the fallen.
O'Reilly is a petulant, egotistical, whiny opportunist. The only redeeming thing about his commentary is that it is merely self-promotional, and not driven by dyed-in-the-wool liberal stupidity. His initial calculations were that if he hooked into the legitimate outrage of millions of sane and principled conservatives, whose points of view had been squelched by the LSM for years, he could achieve virtually uncontested stardom in "Talk TV".
His naked ambition was revealed when Rush had his hearing problems, and Mr. Looking-Out-For-#1 eagerly threw his hat into talk radio to usurp Rush's audience without so much as a decent interval nor stated gratitude for what Rush had wrought.
His ambition-o-meter indicated a different opportunity when Rather was shown to be a shameless and inveterate liar. Thinking swiftly and without principle - he figured he could instead usurp Rather's audience by sleazing in through CBS's slimy back alleys. You could almost hear the huckster selling himself to the CBS bigwigs: "Look...I'm IT in talk TV...I built up the largest cable audience period...give me a shot at broadcast anchoring...and I'll get you guys back up at #1, like me."
In order to make himself presentable to these partisan p****s, though, he had to rapidly morph into a leftist. But...too bad for the big schmuck. Like a trapeze performer with bad timing, he jumped for the other rope too early, before CBS was willing to let go of their star slimeball. Now he's in free fall, dithering on which to turn and how to spin himself. Spin all you like, Bill, but there's no net where you're going, and I can't wait to see your ratings splat.
