I haven’t seen Tucker take the wrong side yet - and he rarely let’s guests slide unless he runs out of time.

What I love about Tucker is he doesn’t let the air out of a good argument by ending with some lame equivocation such as “good debate” or “fair and balanced”.

When a guest is repeating talking points or being dishonest, Tucker usually tells them exactly that right to their face. More than a few times I’ve heard him say something like “you were very dishonest and cowardly but I’m still glad you came on the show.”

And I like the furrowed brow but I guess facial expressions and such are a matter of taste.

It is amazing to me that Fox News would dump O'Reilly I can't believe that anyone would say such utter nonsense. If you or I had done what he did ONCE at our places of work, we would have been shown the door, no severance pay, no golden parachute. Imagine if your daughter was the one he decided to harass. What would you do? Probably go hunting....

I always kept the sound muted on O’Reilly. He was just aggravating. I love Tucker Carlson. I watch Hannity at 10pm but would prefer he is on at 9pm. From what I have read, Hannity likes his 10 pm slot though. I would prefer they dump the show “The Five” as it is boring and useless to me.

When Shep Smith’s gross face suddenly appears on the screen I literally avert my eyes and stab at the the mute button while I fumble to change the channel as quick as possible.

It only happens with breaking news events when they let him out of his afternoon spot. I know better than to turn on Fox during the afternoon.

What is odd is that they must know nobody wants to watch him - or they would have him on prime time. Yet they force him on us when there is a hurricane or plane crash or something.

He must have an iron clad contract because he’s gay or something.

O’Reilly, O’Cosby, O’Clinton.

You lump them altogether without batting an eye, eh?

You lump O’Reilly's ATTEMPTED promiscuity charges together with O’Cosby's and O’Clinton's multiple rape charges? That's kinda messed up IMO.

The five was good when they had Andrea Tantaros on there and before they added Juan Williams. He is just intolerable. The trouble is it takes only one shrill leftist repeating talking points to ruin the whole show.

Hannity is my favorite but he gets annoying guests like Geraldo, and let’s them have too much face time.

I wish there was a way they could know when and why people turn the channel - I’m happily watching Hannity, then Geraldo comes on - flip - I’m gone. Hannity should be aware of that.

So AGREE with you. I can’t stand the Five, except that funny guy. I don’t remember his name, but his humor is so dry!

liberals are doing their best to criminalize dissent and its working.

Especially on FR! This site is totally divided too.

No, I was just making a joke. I’m not messed up - the Bills are, but to different degrees. Of course.

I haven’t seen Tucker take a side period. He seems like the adversary with every guest. He has sort of lost me I guess.

I have involuntarily (lol, in my house only KFI comes in) listened to Dr. Wendy a lot, and I don’t like her ways, either, but I do feel her account is valid. I do not discount people’s accounts of boorish behavior if they worked with or were cordial to the boor thereafter. It happens too often. Women get raped by their husbands, even, and still stay and are still nice to them, too.

I have been hit on by bosses too. And only ONCE did I go over the guy’s head, and only because I told him to knock it off, he did it again, I told him to stop or I was going to report him, and he did it again. I was forced to report him. His fault. All other guys, they try that, it doesn’t work, they stop. Only creeps go as far as BOR. and multiple times, even after PAYING OUT LAWSUITS.

One tweet about him today said “Just use escort services.” It would have saved his job if he had.

...Crew served?

O'Reilly never defined "HEAVY WEAPONS", but said we had them and didn't need them.

Sounds like a party. I'll keep my daughters at home thanks.

OK, but unlike Crosby and Clinton, O’Reilly, who I really couldn’t stand watching after awhile, does come across like a decent guy with a pretty strong moral compass but who, like the rest of us, has some apparent character flaws.
