Everybody's down on the guy all the time. What the hell, he's just doing his job, and trying to do it as best he can. So lighten up, already!
Okay, so in upcoming Michael Wolff biography of Rupert Murdoch, “The Man Who Owns The News,” we discover that the Fox Corp head honcho “despises” Bill O'Reilly. Wolff also brings up the fact that FN's chief executive, Roger Ailes “loathes” the No-spinster.

Big deal. Bosses are supposed to hate their employees. It's in the blood; part of what drive them. You hate your boss, you don't think they hate you? It's as natural as Brit Hume's furled brow.

Geex Louise. It's been bad enough that liberal hosts (both of them) have had it in for O'Reilly, but when the gentile, right wing talker, Mark Levin said that Bill was, among other things…”A moron,” “A phoney journalist, “A non-Factor who doesn't know crapola about economics, history or law,” an idiot,” and wrapped it all up with “You paid more in hush money for your little phone sex than I've ever earned,” you had to have a twinge of empathy for Bill.
There. See how they do by him? How would you like it if a bunch people called you "moran & phoney" when you've only had the best interests of your audience and your employer in mind, and were out spoken about it? Not very much, I'd think!

The man is a lying piece of trash. His lies and spinning during the pre-Iraq invasion are for a significant part responsible of the misinformation that sold the war to the poorly informed.

I saw him on the Daily Show the other day. He can be funny, if you manage to ignore that he's a moron.

So it too but I found him aggravating and insulting there to.

Fuck Bill-O. Wouldn't stop to piss on the guy if he was on fire.

He is a useless asshat who runs around pretending to be a journalist...

Really, the most terrifying thing about Oreilly isn't Oreilly. Its his audience. He has the most watched cable "news" program. The fact that he appeals to so many people, and they believe what he says, causes me to lose sleep.


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.
