I dont think O'Reilly has ANY core beliefs....he looks at what Rush says....looks at what Moveon.org says, and carves out a position in the middle, like a politician...I stopped watching him some time ago

No, that ratings don't nessessarily mean quality. Shock value always draws a crowd.

Anyone catch that O'Reilly a few years ago (maybe a month or two after 911?) when he had Rosie O'Donnell on?  I was really looking forward to the two of them going at it, and yet, I walked away with the impression that he was too frightened to fight back.

I mean I can't really blame him.  (And of course he may have just completely agreed with her), but that's the impression I got.

Lately he's just been driving me mad simply because he usually makes a fair share of excellent points in his arguments, but then goes off being such a complete jerk in how he presents those arguments and filler content besides them, that his entire point can often be lost if one isn't paying careful attention.

That would be be because of 'spin', now wouldn't it.  ;)

Should the point be lost in the future, just check the top of his head.

but at one time.... cnn was bragging that they were the most watched news channel in the world....  Now (that they aren't).... popularity means nothing?

Don't get me wrong... I think all news... print, video or otherwise is mostly a pack of lies..

Yeah, he’s like Novak, he melts under any heat. Did you hear him on NPR with Terri Gross? Half-way through the interview, he ran out – I picture him lifting his dress so he could run faster.

When The Simple Life (cancelled IIRC)  is up against the extreme quality of programs like Survivor, The Apprentice, How Your Neighbors Screwed Up Your Living Room While You Were Busy Screwing Up Theirs, and other programs in the genre they don't have to clear a very high bar.

Isn't it the same O'Reilly who collapsed France economy with his boycott ?

Since about 102% of the French population is on welfare.

He left because it was a poor attempt at a hatchet job on him. He was there to talk about his book at the time and she would not even talk about the book. All she wanted to do was try and ask him questions regarding defamatory accusation that had already been discredited, to catch him in a typical liberal "Gotcha". He refused, told her so and left, after 50 minutes of this.

He had her on his show soon after and made her look like the partisan fool she is when she could not even defend her own recorded words. She couldn't defend the fact that she was reprimanded by the NPR ombudsman.

Transcript of her appearance on FOX.
