What Rallispec said

 

[b0mbrman]

He's really entertaining and I strongly agree with many things he says and strongly disagree with many things he says...

Me, rallispec, the toughest most hard hitting member on the forums, thinks that comic was funny, but not nearly as funny as I, the best member on the forums is.

I love o'reilly I agree with lots of things he says and disagree with things as well. Matt Drudge can go fsck himself.

 

I trust Drudge more than I trust O'Reilly! O'Reilly's full of ****. He's so fake. Drudge draws the line and tells me where he is, so I know when I listen to him I am listening to someone of a certain leaning whilst at the time I learn a lot of facts.

O'Reilly on the other hand is a big time hypocrite. He and Rosie are partners. I remember when Drudge interviewed him. He lied and pretended to have no knowledge of it. This was the period of Limbaugh's deafness.

No wonder Drudge kept playing yesterday "Don't let them use you" . . . something like that stated by O'Reilly.

Edit: Major typos rectified.

Luvly-- WTF are you talking about?

O'reilly is twice as smart as buttdge will ever be, and a much better speaker.... and actually fun to listen too-- even when you dont agree with what he's saying.

Drudge is just a tool with nothing worthy to say.

 

[Mill]

O'reilly has said that he talked to Limbaugh's brother and agent and told him that if Limbaugh didn't want O'reilly to go up against him, then he wouldn't. If he didn't say this, then Limbaugh will report it.

 

[Ferocious]

I find OReilly and Limbaugh both entertaining. But I often disagree with them.

 

[Balt]

This is all very odd, for a couple of reasons. First, Drudge fails to really mention specific things he felt he was lied to about. He keeps mentioning lies and deceit but doesn't explain exactly what those lies were. Granted, I don't really keep up with O'Reilly/Drudge's affairs, so I might be out of the loop and be the only one who doesn't know. In that case, I suppose the fact that he fails to mention anything specific is understandable.

Second reason, I happened to notice while channel-flipping the other night that Matt Drudge was on FNC's "Hannity and Colmes." Everything was completely laid back and chummy. There was even talk of getting Drudge back into the TV loop (with FNC, of course). I find it a little odd that he could be so friendly towards both Hannity and Colmes and then turn on O'Reilly with such ferocity.

I guess I can only really conclude one of two things. Either Matt Drudge is seeking massive attention for himself (and gambling with his future at FNC), or he's an upstanding guy who isn't going to bow down for something against his principles.

Or perhaps a little of both.

 

[gopunk]

what exactly is drudge a tool for?

 

[tsunek]

o'reilly has a program entitled the no spin zone. But from what i've seen he is the biggest spinner in the media. He told dan rather he needs to put more opinion into things he reports on. He is not a newsman he is an editorialist

 

[Pennstate]

Dudge is accusing O'reilly of PAYING radio stations ($300,000 for one NY station) to carry his show. Usually, it's the other way around.

 

[wnied]

Though I watch O'Reilly about 2-3 times a week, I find his public rebuttal of what Drudge called him on weak at best. O'Reilly didnt address any of the issues Drudge is bustin his hump about and basically only verbally flipped him off. For someone known to go straight to the point, he sure looked like he was tap dancing hard around it to me.

Just Answer The Damned Question.
