I cannot stand Bill O'Reilly. I say this not because of his political beliefs, but rather because he will NEVER admit when he is wrong. It's his way or the highway. He cuts his guests off in mid-sentence and is extremely rude. I don't know why people watch him, even if they do share his views. Does anyone else feel this way?

NO..! You're the only one...
Bill's great, he cuts people off when they try to BS and get off the subject. If they could answer the question without dancing, he lets them talk...

I agree with Steve... for once He is a total egocentric.

Ahhh! Someone who has actually watched him! He's always pissing me off when he defends Obama when I don't agree--which he's done more times than I care to admit--but I don't hate him because of it. Again, someone who gets their opinions for the masses instead of finding out for himself (the O/P).

See....we CAN agree on something! I tried watching O'Reilly many times, but I just can't get past his rudeness and overblown ego. He should at least let people finish their sentences even if they are trying to dance around the subject, and then call them on it.

As I said, I don't judge him based on his political beliefs. Rude and egocentric apply no matter what he believes in my book.

Yeah, when he thinks someone's BSing rather than answering a question, he cuts them off. They could be answering the question, but he deems their answer BS so cuts them off. And then he says things that are plainly misleading and stupid, and what gets me is that I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He knows that he misrepresents things, but he doesn't care. It doesn't matter to him.

I meant you, Steve - total egocentric. Just Kidding

It doesn't take someone in disagreement to see when someone is dancing around a topic, avoiding answering. I admit, he can be abrasive and it's not my favorite style but it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. It would be pretty dull if everyone reacted the same to everything--like most liberals would like us all to do.

YOU ARE ABsolutely right! I wrote him an email because I was so p--sed off at him that some of us can see through him with his fake attempts to make himself appear fair when, in fact, his aim simply is to ring alarms.
