O’Reilly is only half as smart as he thinks he is and a lot of times comes off smug not to mention his somewhat wishy washy moral compass. However all that aside his annoying attempts to be ‘fair’ or I dunno loved by the enemy is what turned me off his show.
I guess Rush was right again, he is the one none of the others can compare to, so thank goodness he’s not interested in making friends with the enemy but wants them uterly defeated.
That`s why Limbaugh has it all over these others—he has the intellectual weight AND the passion. O`Reilly has his moments but too often he comes across as seeking controversy, where Rush doesn`t give a damn if he`s perceived as controversial—THAT is why he freaks out the left, he`s genuine. While I`ve liked some of what I read in Beck`s book, he comes off as a clown who just succeeds at what O`R tries to do. I find both of them to be showmen who fake what comes naturally to Limbaugh.
