And if so, do you support the statements Bill O'Reilly makes on a daily basis? Why?

While we're at it, if you don't agree with him, explain why as well.

O'Reilly is an irresponsible panderer to the worst instinct of his viewers. But we can't lay all the blame in his lap: his employer, Fox "News" exists only to reinforce the biases of its audience, which is, apparently insecure enough in its beliefs that it seeks the constant reassurance that they are brilliant and wise and good that Fox so willingly provides.
O'Reilly is merely the most flagrant abuser of the public trust that a broadcast license or airtime confers. He knows that his ratings stay high if he attacks roughly anyone who disagrees with his, and his viewers', positions.
In the end, it's all about power and money (what isn't?), not truth. Insulated in his TV studio, surrounded by Fox security guards, O'Reilly gets to be a bully for big bucks but, like all bullies, he's a coward, through and through.

I think he is a putz and he is nothing more than a spin factory for the current administration. He sickens me spouting his moral views and talking about how these other people are so bad when he himself has been busted with sexual harrasment and has the gall to write a kids book.
