He's good. Calls it down the middle. Sometimes supports Republicans, and on occasion such as the Swift Vote controversy has supported the democrats. I respect his opinion.

It's well known that what 80+% of journalists are Liberals. Personally I think it's good to have a guy like O'reilly on the air. He keeps the Lib's honest(if that's possible). I think he may support Repubs a little more than the Dems, but I think it's good for a change.

Let's be honest Quasi. When the f- are liberals ever right? The 1 or 2 times out of 10 that they are, O'Reilly is right there with you confused folks. Don't expect him to be on your side when it doesn't call for it. Al though the minute he said he loved Teresa Heinz Kerry made my scratch my head.

When are you liberals going to wake up and realize that your ideology is failed? Look at the data to back it up. Liberalism has a nice premise to it, but the facts show that is failed. Wake up, wake up!!!!!!!!

First, he never said "I won the Peabody." But thats an old criticism that only people like Frankin still hold on to.

Overall I do think that he calls things pretty fairly and doesnt lean heavily one way or the other. His personal values seem to be on the conservative side in terms of personal responsibility, taking care of our kids and family values. But politically he does call out both sides and disagrees with the Bush Admin on a number of different issues.

On a scale of 1-10, with one being extreme liberal and 10 being extreme conservative, I would give him a 6.

I'm a Republican but I have problems with O'reilly. He claims to be an Independent but then slants everything in a certain direction which 95% of the time is to the right. He has very different ideologies on FoxNews than he did when he was on NBC. I refuse to believe he truly cares about everything he reports on, he just wants good television. He's also been known to flat out "make" shit up mid interview to help his point. The more he wins in arguments the better ratings he recieves. Just my $.02

He does not slant everything towards the right. Liberals are wrong 80% of the time. O'Reilly is a moderate and I think he calls it right down the middle and I see him favoring politicians like a Joe Lieberman or John McCain. You only think he slants it because liberals are wrong much more often then they are right.

If you think he's arrogant so what. He is near the top of the pinnacle in political talk shows and he deserves to be. I think Rush is more arrogant then O'Reilly but I like them both. Hannity comes off as a gentlemen and I am digging him lately. I like it when he makes fun of that pointed headed liberal Al Colmes.

reilly is ok, but he peddles his wears like a fucking door to door salesman. Buy my doormat, buy this bed, buy this coffee mug, buy this rectal thermometer. And as for sean hannity, sorry frosty, that guy is a fucking retard. He is the worst debater ever. He gets in an argument with a guest about foreign policy and all of the sudden he holds up a piece of paper like he has a fact and asks the person he is arguing something like "one question for you, why do you support saddam hussein and want to kill babies", then giving the democrat no chance to respond and he says "let's go to commercial". The guy is the flavor of the month. Him and that fucking bitch anne coulter, who is a super republican nazi. I hate her more than hannity and i'm a conservative. They are both arrogant, ignorant, and rude as hell to anyone they don't agree with. Sean hannity couldn't debate a high school debate team. He's the worst thing for the republican party ever. He makes us all look like ignorant, pompous asses.

KTCK, we get it you're a conservative. Fair enough. But how in the hell can you and I watch the same man and see two completely opposing outcomes? He's a moderate because he says he's a moderate? I could say I was a billionaire jet-setting playboy, but that doesn't make it so.

Liberals aren't the only one's he talks to. He has an agenda each and everytime someone comes on his show. He sets the course of a discussion in one certain direction and whomever is foolish enough to argue his slant is ridiculed, cut off and called names. He's a highly intelligent, educated bully.

I tend to agree with him most of time but, that doesn't make what he's doing right. He's fun to watch but he's an asshole.

I actually like Bill O Reilly for the most part... We tend to agree on a lot of issues....

I am not an extreme Right wing Republican Like Bill.. I actually consider myself a moderate.... But like I said.. I do tend to agree with a lot of his stances.

Even though I'm not voting for George W, I will continue to regester as a Republican in the future.
