Left, Right, Middle Pundits

First of all I want to say that Radio is something I just don't like to listen to.
But, I must confess, I'm a Bill O'Reilly listener.

I disagree with him sometimes, even a lot, be it his conclusions, or how he came to certain conclusions. He may even be erring when it comes to being critical/uncritical of things such as polls.

But I listen to him because he, unlike other talk show hosts, actually seems to want figure out solutions.

Even though he gets "Reillied" (riled) up, he never resorts to insulting even (ok, except maybe George Soros) the lefties personally.

So before you guys leap at my throat for listening to him, I'd like to know who anyone else listens to, if at all...well, actually, you can list your source for news too.

btw, I also listen to NPR...

I sometimes watch The O'Reilly Factor just to see if he has any new controversal views to reveal. I don't like the man. FOX news is so slanted and The O'Reilly Factor contributes more than anything to FOX's mockery of journalism.

That's what makes O'Reilly entertaining though

The only thing I can say is that I have seen a few people walk all over him, Angela Davis comes to mind, and he can acknowledge defeat.

Of course NPR News... They actually don't seem to be as biased when it comes to actual news reporting, though they're just as bad as any liberal media when it comes time to do interviews etc...

Terri Gross especially. I mean really, the gal laughed in complete comraderie with every evolutionist, left-wing cartoonist (that was especially disgusting) that they ever invited. Of course, she's free to believe and agree with whatever she feels, but the professsionalism really breaks down when it shows so blatantly.

Really? I think most other media is so left-wing that FOX seems like a super-conservative show, even though they arent particularly conservative or liberal...

but he also gets accused of stuff he definitely doesn't do. For instance, Leonard Pitts accused him of endorsing Anne Coulter's comments about the Jersey Widows when actually criticised her for it. Shows you how much Mr. Pitts knows...
He also grouped him with Michael Savage, which is incredibly ridiculous. Michael Savage is a weirdo, despite some occasional things he has said, which I could say better IMO. O'Reilly is far from the Savage crowd.

Actually, O'Reilly do remind me a little of Savage . Though you're right that Savage is a weirdo and O'Reilly is not.

Fair enough, Hillary Clinton reminds me of the Medusa...
