Fair and balanced? I report you decide...Let's face it...the only person Bill O'Reilly is looking out for is....Bill O'Reilly...
More and more, the topics of his program segments are less informational and more promotional of the blustery host himself...it becomes more amazing every night as he manages to link any subject to himself...he often refers to when he was a teacher in his early 20's; where he has lived; how he wrote about a particular subject in one of his books...I have no doubt that a guest could tell him "you know, Bill...I had oatmeal for breakfast today"...and O'Reilly would respond, "I wrote about oatmeal in Culture Warrior "....
He, of course, promotes his appearances on other programs (Today Show, The View, Letterman) and on his own subsequent programs, he will have "unbiased" guests (read "sycophantic ass-kissers) on to assess how he did on those other shows...
His most common guests who appear are conservatives Dennis Miller(he is funny, though), Dick Morris (has he ever been right?), Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck(is he still crying?), Bernie Goldberg and Karl Rove...none of whom are challenged by an opposing liberal guest...Goldberg used to be paired with American University journalism professor Jane Hall, but it appears she has been dumped by O'Reilly due to her thoughtful and moderate liberal views..... and yet, O'Reilly maintains that he, himself, is an independent...
