The few times I've watched him I've gotten a bit annoyed. I have repeatedly seen him attack defense attorneys for defending their clients. "How can you defend this person in court after they (insert crime here)?"
It gets old. I understand the base feelings that he is appealing to, and I can't imagine that he is not intelligent enough to realize that this is how our legal system works. But he chooses to ignore that fact so that he can attack someone his viewers might not like just for the sake of attacking.
After the second(and third, and fourth...) time I saw this, he lost me. Anything intelligent he might have to say has been drowned out by his pig headed attacks for the sake of ratings.

Started a book last night by Bill O'Reilly.
I have to say I really haven't heard of the guy. I admit I don't watch
Fox and maybe my head is a little too buried in the computer screen
sometimes ... But I truly haven't been following the "O'Reilly
phenomenon".
I am intrigued by the book. Starts out great (love the family part),
then sorta slides into a diatribe about politicians, government programs
and slams against the Clintons and George Clooney (justified or not, I'm
not making any decisions or stating opinions, just relating how it reads
so far).
The reason I bought the book was because of a Parade article in the
Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago.
I'm about halfway through it and took some time to look him up on the
net this morning. His philosphy about friends and surrounding yourself
with kind and generous people echoes mine, so I was curious about what
else he had to say.
So far, I can only find two kinds of information about him.
1) Total adoration and hand clapping.
2) Total vilification and booing.
Since this community is SO MUCH MORE in touch with
politics/reporters/current events than I, I was wondering if anyone here
had anything to say about him?
I am only asking for constructive opinions, not "Why that SOB, he's a
slime worse than warm runny cowsh$t" Well, that may be a valid opinion
:D ... But I was hoping for something informative.
Just my idle curiosity for the day ... I'm not too sure what to make of
him yet.
Cheers,
Erika
