O Reilly can always go into the porn industry...
I guess people can't handle the truth.
And now Olbermann has 2,000 viewers. Oh well, I watch neither.
when bill oreiley has no audience at all i will be happy
Who is Olbermann? Never heard of him. Do I want to?
He's the best sportscenter anchorman ever and now he has a rival news program oposite Bill O'Reiley's. Olbermann rips on Riley a lot
Sportscenter anchorman ripping O'Riley(?). Why? What has sports got to
do with an opinion show? Seems strange to me. I don't watch either. Wrong
time of night for my viewing habits.
He has a news show on MSNBC now, he was a sportscenter anchorman for like 10 years back in the 90's
O'Reilly is a
And I'm about as conservative as they come.
O'reilly is ok.
I just hate it when he goes on his personal crusades.
He represents everything that is wrong with today's media.
ing ex Hard Copy John Tesh wannabe.
John Tesh was Entertainment Tonight. Jury's still out as to which news genre is more harmful to society.
O'Reilly is probably the biggest reason that the Colbert Report exists, so for that reason alone I'm ok with him. I bet O'Reilly doesn't even believe half of what he says (no one could be that stupid), he just does it to get ratings, and it works. More power to him.
O'Reilly probably owes about 3/4ths of his success to those who hate him so that they watch, read, and listen to his opinions habitually, make notes about what he says and then post about it on the internets.
O'Reilly isn't worth the effort. This is why we have sites like Media Matters that list the outrages behavior and lies put out by these administration propagandist like Insannity, Limpballs, and Falafel-boy.
Speaking of blow-hard propagandists on AM radio...
Check this out:
A bully gets bullied
funny video, now we know why Rush sticks to a radio show where he controls everything.

You're still worried about what he and the rest of them say. If they didn't court controversy no one would know who they are. That controversy is created by those who disagree with them whining about it all the time.
Rush did a TV show for a few years after that (that was in '99 I believe). The TV show was cancelled because of ratings.
I actually saw that show live back in the day; had never heard of Rush Limbaugh (hardly anybody had outside of California), but was stuck in my girlfriend's apartment in College Station - and the only station available was CBS - so that is what was on.
That was the first instance I EVER heard anybody say anything THAT conservative over the airwaves. I thought it was a put-on, or big joke. This guy in a suit and tie was on TV saying things alot of people thought, but NOBODY would say out loud, for fear of EXACTLY what happened to Rush.
Seeing it now reminds me of how different the political climate is now.
Not a big Rush fan (went through that in the early '90's - again in Bryan/College Station) - but if I tune him anymore, he's saying the same stuff, and you can tell he doesn't do much research, it's just one guy with an opinion (and not a particulary well-versed or bright one at that).
But he DID open the airwaves up for conservatives, and for differing points of view - and for political discourse in general - outside of Paul Harvey there was NO nationally syndicated radio programs pre-Rush.
I remember that show. From what I remember, it was filmed and produced entirely from his EIB Network Studios. Which explains why the audience was well-behaved.
Talking about annoying audiences, check out the ones that go to Bill Maher show and to the Daily Show. They cannot be more skewed to the left.
Maher and Stewart are comedy shows.
O'Reilly takes himself seriously.
I don't watch either show really. I've seen the Maher show once but was not at all impressed. Jon Stewart, IMO, is a lot funnier in sitcoms and movie roles. I pretty much watch reality shows cuz that's what my wife watches.
Reality shows?
That sucks!
