For some reason I found myself watching the O'Reilly factor on Fox News the other day. I'd never watched it before and I could not believe my eyes. The entire show seemed to consist of him quoting people (comments from politicians, letters from viewers, etc), and then O'Reilly would basically say "This person IS wrong".
He doesn't even attempt to make any kind of intelligent debate. For example I remember one where a viewer sent in a letter saying something like "Why are you always putting the BBC down?", and then O'Reilly just said "The BBC IS biased, it IS anti-Israel, it IS pro-terrorist", and he didn't even attempt to explain why he thinks that, he didn't provide any evidence or anything.
I'm not saying he needs to provide data and quotes and other sources to back up everything he says. I just think he needs to change his style.
Do people actually watch this crap? Are there people out there who accept everything he says word for word? If so then that is very frightening.
