Does he get ratings good or bad ratings?
Why do you care about ratings?
Britney Spears has lots of Nr.1 hits, that doesn't mean she is a great musician.
Hitler's "Mein Kampf" is/was a book hit, doesn't mean it has good content.

Maybe some people rather read news than sit in front of the TV the whole day. That is what I keep asking myself anyways. Some people seem to watch Fox news 24/7. Don't these people have hobbies or some work to do?

Greetings,

The American People may well be rapidly approaching a period in their history when the entire conglomerate of National Media shall be effectively controlled by government directives ! Yes.... that dreaded day is perhaps only a few years away !

Now is the opportune time to take a close look at the outstanding Fox News Network ..... and their incredibly reliable and unbiased reporting on national as well as global events !!!

May we never forget the tremendous service Fox News folks like Glenn Beck, Bill O'Riley, Hannity and others rendered during their "Breaking News: segments regarding the " Nationally Disgraceful and
Embarrasing" ..... "Acorn Debacle" !!!

The few sadly inept folks whom continually "Whine & B*!#@" about the intense research and honest reporting by Fox News ..... most certainly have lost all contact with "Reality" and perhaps are possibly entirely oblivious of the great dangers that threaten the America People from within and without !

Keep on with your whining and complaining and maybe you'll get what you want .... A Chinese version of the media that went so far as to censure the American Presidents speech in their newspapers ..... "Sounds like a wonderful system does it not ???

Now is the time to take an extremely close look at Fox News and savor the fact that their does exist at least one last surviving reliable source of t.v. media news ! ... Publically support their efforts as they take a stand against those within the "Washington Political Circus" whom would willingly eliminate the "Freedom Of The Press".....

"Detractors of Fox News Beware" ..... Be extremely careful what you wish for in regards to todays media ..... you may just receive it and much more! Thanks / Lamar

Compared to who or what? I'm guessing I'm as much in the dark about that as you are.

The lie he told was egregious. Anybody who knows even the basics about World War II is familiar with the Malmedy Massacre. Hell, you just had to watch 'Battle of the Bulge' with Henry Fonda to be aware of it.

He lied to make a point and got caught at it.

And he told the lie about massacred American Prisoners of War. Shameful.
Again, it was not a lie - he owned up to the fact that what he said was factually wrong then mentioned other atrocities committed by the US after Malmedy, see Dachau massacre - if you are a historian on WWII then you well know that atrocities occurred on all sides - before and after Malmedy and his statement is factually correct.

I say again - tell me in that statement where he 'lied' - should I define it for you again? or will you continue to cheapen the word by using it incorrectly?

O'Reilly will often have better ratings than CNN,MSNBC and HL,the other three cable news networks,COMBINED.He absolutely destroys any opposition airing against him.This drives the left nuts,so they shriek and howl and make up excuses as to why this happens,or else they will just twist the numbers and completely deny it.

Good point. You'll get no answer.

What rubbish. Clearly something you picked out of your imagination.

Just because it's posted right here on C-D by liberals (hundreds of lies? hundreds?) doesn't mean it's true. Like the quote that brought race into this instead of offering an intelligent post - it's not true, and it's quite obvious that it isn't, and shows a lack of caring about facts.

It's also quite obvious that liberals love the word "lie" but don't know the meaning of it.

I am starting to think that the left really has fear of them, otherwise they would not be the topic of attacks.
Might push me to wards watching them and see what they have to say.
Watch Beck one time and then spend the rest of your life kicking yourself in the butt for not doing it sooner.

The lefties here claim they watch Beck but they see only the same clips you mentioned and really don't know chit about him.

I never miss a day of him unless I have to spend the day on those long trips to a doctor or something like that. In fact, I am getting ready right now and he is over an hour away. Hell, he got three communists thrown out of the White House group and is working on the union leaders now.
