Bill ORLY always has the opposing viewpoint whenever he has a debate. I'm not a big fan of Bill. He tries to hard to be in the middle.

He tries hard to LOOK like he's in the middle. More now than he used to.

Hence, I stopped watching.

reading USAToday is the equivalent of Cliffs Notes. on the daily show, about all you get is the slant. they even admit its fake news and that their opinions aren't thought out. watching the daily show to get news is no better than, say, the american free press.

Actually, watching the daily show, you get to watch stewart make fun of the media's own slant. Anyone crying about bias on the daily show is a moron.

I'm conservative, but I enjoy watching Olbermann. His show is pretty much the only news/infotainment show I can watch. I'm certainly not going to watch O'Reilly and his drivel, Olbermann is at least funny.

I don't think he's worth that kind of cash (4 Mil plus), but he definitely deserves a raise for what he's done for the network.

I agree. He sometimes annoys me when he stares into the camera with the holier than thou look, but overall he's great entertainment.

Bill O'Reilly, worst person in the worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrld.
