OK, I've got a confession to make.
I don't watch his show on Fox.
I listen to his radio show almost daily. So maybe he comes across differently on the tv show. My opinion is based solely on what I have heard on his radio show. It is possible that the conservative leadership at Fox has pressured him to not criticize conservatives as much, I don't know.

I will agree that the majority of the commentators on Fox are conservative republicans. But they do not try to hide their political beliefs and I do think they give a great deal of airtime to liberals. I mean, how many times have they had Maxine Waters or Charlie Rangle (sp?) on there. They've got these people on there all the time.

I don't like the other networks (except the one with Scarborough) because their bias is more subtle and well-hidden. To me, that is far more dangerous to our freedom of the press in this country. And it seems that I rarely see conservatives invited to talk about issues on CNN. In fact, there is very little debate on CNN. They seem to only have those who agree with them on.

Ah, a talk radio man. Thank you for that clarification.

Ahh, how subtle of you.
Very polite way to insinuate that I am part of the "Rush Limbaugh and co., right-wing talk radio conspiracy".

While I do enjoy listening to O'Reilly, Hannity, Ingraham, and Medved, I do not listen to Rush because I find him irritating and detrimental to conservatives. Making jokes about Chelsea Clinton's appearance does not increase the credibility of your political views.
I also do not listen to Michael Savage because frankly, he is a psycho, extremist right-winger who does nothing but reinforce the sterotypes of conservatives as religious zealots.

Here is some more clarification:
I am not religious.
I voted for Clinton twice.
I marched in anti-war protests during the first Gulf War.
I watch CNN, NBC, and ABC on a regular basis.

O'reilly like i said bases his veiws on common sense and facts. you if watched (or listened) to his show you would know that. ANd about O'reilly on the radio liberals (and their audience) aren't intelligent enough to have a radio program, O'Reilly makes sense and i would vote for him because he hold people accountable for their actions

Why aren't there any liberal radio shows?
Because it's too hard to understand without pictures.
