A rep point is on the way to you.
He is basically a populist.

As for people suggesting O'Reilly - are you kidding? The man has a reputation for screaming and yelling at his guests. He's not exactly a good example of civility.

His show is the "No Spin Zone" so when people try to spin he wants to get them back on point. Some people (Barney Frank comes to mind) need to be yelled at!

I don't consider Hannity a thinker, he just spews right wing rhetoric. I think he's the only one of Fox I refuse to watch, oops forgot about Shep, Jarret and Geraldo.

The most fair reporting has to go to PBS.

It seems every other news, (gossip), program is mainly the "Barbies" peeking through the blinds and sounding the alarm on minor social issues while the rest of the world is one fire. I think Fox would do better to feature a news show with Peter Griffin as anchor.

this is a good clip with Jon Stewart being interviewed by Chris Wallace. I don't agree with Jon, but I still like him.

The Mclaclan group is pretty even handed, as well as morning Joe. Of course anytime Joe Scarborough says anything negative about a Republican he is a liberal.

Note, he was elected by the most conservative voting district in the country, and was listed as one of the most conservative representatives in congress.

This is the most reasonable thread I've ever seen on the politics forum. Well done, people.

None. Most are too invested in creating/furthering conflict to make for watchable television.

Only Jon Stewart comes close.

It's always great to see him and Jon Stewart go at it. They clearly respect one another a great deal and are good intellectual sparring partners for each other.
What is O'Reilly's agenda other than ratings? He sucks up to whoever he's trying to land for an interview. You always know when an Obama interview is in the works. O'Reilly is traditional, not conservative.
