Why Don't Most People on NewsBusters Like Bill O'Reilly? By Doraemon_OReilly October 10, 2007 - 22:55 ET Though I am a NB fan, I noticed that there are a lot of people who don't like Bill O'Reilly. Sure, I know he believes in Global Warming and supports REASONABLE gun control, but I see nothing wrong with that. I would rather agree with O'Reilly than with Al Gore or any of those environmental terrorists. As a self-proclaimed neoconservative, I just happen to have read Culture Warrior, his superb book, and I agree with him 100% on the ongoing culture war. Can't you guys just go soft on O'Reilly?

I think he's ready, willing, and able to defend traditionalists regardless of the political fallout. I DVR O'Reilly and Glenn Beck every night so I can watch them next morning after work. I don't have to agree with either 100% to know they are genuinely looking out for the interests of Americans. I think there is that faction that dislikes OReilly and Beck and Rush as an antiestablishment statement. ~LYDSEXICS UNTIE!~ Login or register to post comments Email this page He's an authoritarian "populist" October 11, 2007 - 08:54 ET by sarcasmo He is clueless on economics (at least, when it comes to drug prohibition and big oil). He's pompous and paternalistic, and he often interrupts guests on his show. And he's constantly hawking premium membership on that website of his, as if viewers should pay him. I'd rather watch Laurie Dhue apply makeup and yak than watch O'Reilly, but that's not an option, unfortunately. One thing I do like about him is Steven Colbert's show...Both mens' appearances on the other's show were classic comedy. JMR Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

It seems to be a way to allow him to grandstand while promoting himself, and I just find it unseemly. (It's definitely proof Steven Colbert needs to exist in this media marketplace, though!) For me, it would be better PR if The Vibrator Factor just sold the name-branded stuff for a profit & trusted viewers to figure out which charities to support. And who takes the potentially-huge tax-write-off on all this donatin' that's goin' on, huh? THAT is the "Imus cancer-ranch" question for me on all these third-party donation schemes.

October 11, 2007 - 09:14 ET by JayTee O'Reilly is carrying the attact to the NYT and MSM...what's not to like about the guy ? Bill does interrupt, but he also lets people have the last word..most of the time. I like the guy, ...but... I don't have to take him home with me every night and bum around with him......some NB'ers act like they have to live with him, and don't like him personnally. You hear Bill's opinion, some you like, others you don't, but he has a good heart......besides, if someone agrees with "everything" that you do, it's a boring life.

I don't dislike O'Reilly and the thing I like most about him is that he's the only one who ever talks about all the crazy things that judges are doing. I think his economic thinking is completely flawed and he tries too hard to be fair to liberals to the point of being unfair to conservatives. At least he was during the 2004 election. That's when I completely quit watching him. I've watched a couple of times recently and he hasn't been so bad, but I think when the general election heats up - he will do the same thing (bend over backwards for liberals).

The driver said, "I don't like O'Reilly, he always interupts people." I responded with, "What's the premise of his show? The 'No Spin Zone' & 'The Spin Stops Here.' " Come to think of it, unless he's passionate about something said, the only time I've heard him interupt was when he gets an unqualified, non answer. Could I see myself sitting down to have a drink with O'Reilly? Probably not. He seems a bit too self-absorbed and I don't need the rivalry. Login or register to post comments Email this page I've watched TOF for years now October 11, 2007 - 17:56 ET by Jnoble Most of what I feel about BOR has already been mentioned by someone else earlier: The only two issues that I think he's out to lunch on is global warming and oil companies. I watched Neil Cavuto try in vain to explain to him that Big Oil doesn't and can't willfully manipulate the price of a barrel, it's all supply and demand econ 101. But for whatever reason, Bill, who is usually pretty logical and reasonable, doesn't or can't understand that. "BUT THE FOLKS! THE FOLKS ARE GETTING SCREWED!" OK, Bill, take it easy. Also, he tends to be an alarmist. I can count three different times over the last couple of years that he's proclaimed that "If such-and-such happens/doesn't happen in Iraq, then it's over and we've lost". And during the run up in gas prices in 2003, he was yelling to someone that "If Bush doesn't get these prices under control, the other guy is going to walk right in!" referring to whoever was the Democratic nominee for president. As we saw, that didn't happen. All that aside, I do think he's a man with heart who means well and for the most part, does good work. I latched on to his show around 1999 when he was the only person I ever heard who wasn't afraid to take on Jesse Jackson. Sometimes he trys so hard to be fair, that he lets BS slide. That annoys me too. But I try to never miss his show, and he has wayyyyy more class and credibility than his crazy wanna-be rival Keith Olbermann. Poor Keith, no matter how hard you try to provoke a war with BOR, he just goes on ignoring you and your dumb show.

Oh....the big negative about BOR....he's nice to that moron Geraldo, even when Geraldo is at his smarmiest & most over-the-top (immigration). Bill should just tell old Gerry to shut up.

Login or register to post comments Email this page True, I agree, however, he November 12, 2007 - 12:43 ET by dscott True, I agree, however, he does have a selling point, that being his tireless manhandling of judges when children are being abused. I consider BOR to be on the liberal side (of me, maybe right of you), but on the issue of children I agree with his position. Holding incompetent judges accountable in the public eye is the only way these arrogant jerks get to taste public dissapproval of their actions. If it were not for BOR, these creeps would get a free pass on their PC ignoring of the Law and the public demand that justice be done. Some of these judges are just as bad as the perverts who are brought before them. I consider enabling behavior equally as offensive and contemptable as the act itself. I usually don't watch the guy, like Hannity and Colmes they grate on my nerves. However, I would be inclined to watch them over any of the other talking heads.

For example, If you are out for business at a dinner and you get injured, you can claim Workers' Compensation. Fact. You don't ever go out to dinner for work related purposes? I'm out all the time with clients and my boss. And if he were to do something inappropriate at that meeting, you can be damn sure it would be considered sexual harassment. Sexual harassment doesn't have to necessarily take place within the actual physical workplace environment. But your comment is immaterial since, if you would slowly but surely continue to read the report, you will notice that there was at work sexual harassment as well.

There obviously had to be a relationship here before this kind of conversation could come up. So let's realistically look at what happened here. Chicky got pissed about something in the relationship and decided to destroy O'reilly. There is literally not one person at that level of business stupid enough to speak like that to a subordinate without prior precedent being set. You don't have to like BOR but you have to engage rational thought. And I wonder just how much scrutiny you'd apply to him if he was on the other side of the aisle.

There are people stupid enough to speak like this. Sexual impulses are extremely hard for some people to control as we see time and time again. Just watch to Catch A Predator, we see teachers, rabbis, upstanding members of their communities throwing their lives away, throwing everything away for a sexual impulse. We see guys cheating on their wives for a one night fling. Sexual drive is a strong motivator. It makes people do things they wouldn't normally do. As is the case with many sexual harassment incidents, a person in power feels invincible, feels they are untouchable and can do whatever they want. My guess is that BOR thought this chick was into him, figured as the boss man he could give it a shot and have a good chance, the problem was she wasn't into it (as I suspect most women would react to workplace sexual harassment) You're argument that he wouldnt' do this without a prior relationship b/c it doesn't make any sense otherwise is absurd based on the myriad of examples of people behaving bizarrely in the name of sex. There are literally thousands of people at that level stupid enough to speak like that to a subordinate. I wish it wasn't true, but sadly it is.

Unless they're planning on "stinging" someone. Other than that I actually agree with you. Relationship or not the pig is married and therefore a sexual deviant. It angers me then that someone carrying the conservative banner makes some people think of conservatives as hypocrites because of his behavior. Much like a Ted Haggard or Jim Baker, you can be forgiven but you lose your place at the podium. In keeping with the "no deviant" standard Leon would you agree with me that Bill Clinton should not be allowed to hold any public office?

Login or register to post comments Email this page TWC, My simple guess November 12, 2007 - 12:02 ET by Leon TWC, My simple guess would be that something creepy happened on the first innappropriate phone call. She realized it was wrong and wanted to have evidence to get justice and to get left alone. So the next time BOR called she got the tape recorder out. Which was smart b/c it's hard to win these sexual harassment lawsuits, esp. with the insurance companies backing the executives. You can rest assured they aren't interested in taking a huge claim. I'm glad we agree, BOR is a scum bag and everything you've said is dead on. Clinton is off-topic and I want to focus on BOR on this thread. Again, I don't see what Clinton's behavior has to do with BOR's behavior. Unrelated incidents. I'm not going to comment on Clinton on this thread and I was wrong to even respond to Fossten's first Clinton question. BOR is the focus of this thread, all other persons are off-topic and nothing but trolling.

This is what you were responding to with the numerous links to coverage of the BOR sex story. Show me where there's any reference to the BOR sex story in those posts. You can't. You're just plain wrong, and apparently unable to recognize or acknowledge it. Have fun with the unconsious incompetence thing. Later. Much. November 12, 2007 - 09:46 ET by Cool Arrow Wow, you're linking the same website that says kids are sniffing doodoo to get high. We know why you really don't like OReilly. I'm LMAO over this one. Take another huff. November 12, 2007 - 09:56 ET by Leon Uh Cool, You realize the Smoking Gun writes about police reports right? They didn't say anything about sniffing doodoo. The Collier County police department did. And if you even read your link you'd realize the article is ripping on the police force that released the report in Collier County Florida. Might want to read your links before posting them. Ha what a joke you are. November 12, 2007 - 10:02 ET by Cool Arrow If it's your belief every allegation ever made against anybody is true, you must live a very paranoid life.

Cool then goes on to say that the MSM would love this story b/c it's about a guy they hate. BOR. *Your limited instincts just can't realize the MSM (who would just love this story) haven't even touched it.* How else can you read his post? Why would the MSM love a story about huffing poo? Wow that's a lot of effort you went to to show us that you have ZERO reading comprehension. haha. Nice work Uncle John.

Based on your scoring you clearly haven't even read the conversation between Uncle John and I. He gets one point for using an accurate adjective to describe you, and four points for correctly identifying the fact that you've left a bridge with no toll collector. Login or register to post comments Email this page Wow Free, Look at you November 13, 2007 - 11:19 ET by Leon Wow Free, Look at you back to using words. 1) Of course I insult your picture. Have you seen it? If you didn't want to get blasted you should have (a) never put it up & (b) never started worshipping me & (c) never started following me around with your juvenile scoreboard 'hilarity' 2) I mean everytime you post. Not just in your profile. Although it would be great if you could get a more panned out shot and perhaps put an item we all recognize next to your head for context. While it looks massive now, I'd love to see it next to some common items for reference. Perhaps a watermelon or hot air balloon. 3) The 'asshat' craze on this site is weak as hell. Where did that word even come from? Guys that use 'asshat' are the same guys that put man in front of everything to be funny. You know, manscaping, mandate, mandals, etc. etc. etc. AKA 30 - 40 year old dorks that still read Maxim & FHM. 4) Thank you for trolling in order to call me a troll. Your hypocrisy is hilarious.
