Why because he shouts over whoever doesn't agree with him? Gimme a break.

Phil Donahue recently owned the Falafal king.

They don't have to, since Bill owns himselfs so well on a regular basis - same with the other talking heads on Fox.

I remember the daily show playing a clip of O'Reilly arguing about people saying "merry christmas" and "happy holidays" and he says something like, "I don't see how anyone could be offended by the phrase "merry christmas."

Then they play a clip of him later in the show, and his guest says "what's wrong with just saying "happy holidays", and O'Reilly says "because that phrase is offensive to me."

Yeah... Bill always seems to start trying to dominate the conversation when he's losing an arguement, and then he tries to change the subject. The secrets to beating O'Reilly in a debate seem to be:

1) Don't let him butt in when you're trying to explain your viewpoint, or just turn the tables and interupt him when he starts going off on a tangent. "Please, let me finish" or "Wait, that's not accurate" always seem to be good "Bill Buster" comments.

2) Bring him back on topic if he tries to change the subject.

As much as I hate the guy, Michael Moore once did a good job of keeping Bill from steamrolling him. It was pretty amusing to watch, actually.
