I've watched the show about twice in my life, and I've seen him make up statistics on the spot, contradict himself, and say outragous things about people that no one in their right mind would believe. So, I ask you, what do you think?

Heh, I've seen him in action. I think he gets to be a crybaby when things don't go his way. Then he whines, finger points and attempts to belittle anyone who doesn't agree with him. I love it when some guests put him in his place.

I would say is much higher.
I turn him on and surf the net to see if his stories are backup.
His take on them is open to debate but as far as facts go he is pretty much dead on.
Case in point about the 2 bloggers that Edwards hire for his bid for the White House.
How judges are letting child predators loose on the street without jail time.
If you think he is making up the statistics go check them out google them and verify his sources.
You can do it..
What I think is you have an ax to grind against Bill because he makes you feel uncomfortable at times with your belief system.
Which is a good thing.

Not as much as I would like....say about 99% of the time. He does get ahead of himself sometimes trying to convince a liberal on a point, but that is like trying to talk a dog out of licking himself in public. I wish he would learn that you can't convince a liberal of anything they haven't been told to by whoever is their chosen leader for the day, even if you show them proof. They just say they were for it before they were against it or against it before they were for it.
I sent him an e-mail once to look at the shoes first. If they are wearing flip flops, don't even try.

Two times, huh. Not enough to make an intelligent critique of the show as a whole. Please back up your accusations with facts and examples so an answerer can make an informed opinion. Otherwise, it's just you bias showing. I would guess that O'Reilly is more informed and has his facts correct more times than you who are sitting in judgment.

I would challenge you to critique his next show and email me the results with what you thought he was right about and what seemed wrong.
I think hes one of the finest conservative thinkers in America and I think hes dead on most of the time. I do disagree with his stance against capital punishment though.

Probably, the vast majority of what he says are true for him.
Truth is relative to viewpoint. There are very few objective truths.
And from what I've heard, many people in their "right" mind agree with him, to varying degrees. It's just people in their "left" mind that disagree.

Got to agree Bill is stuck on himself but he does bring up some good points occasionally.
No spin here!

I can't say for sure that he's making everything up. I don't know if his legal name is Bill O'Reilly or not.

I'd give him a 50/50 on honest information. I also would include his hard right bias on things.
