Opinion post, agree or not? Bill O'Reilly is insufferable.

[Failzero]

He started the Blacklisting of Michael Savage at Foxsnews ( And made Hannity promise to carry it over after he left )

I thought Bill threaten him

Again, who? Who did he threaten?

I'm glad I didn't watch Fox News when he was on because, well, the title conveys my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps there are nuances to his personality I don't catch because I only watch him from time to time when he is recommended on youtube.

He has some good argument at times but he is far too sure of himself, far too rigid. Doesn't even seem like a guy who has ever truly laughed while performing his job. Certainly never at himself

It's not a case of "well, I tell you how it is, I don't sugar coat it". You can do that as your main schtick but if a guy believes he has a monopoly on truth, not only will they be mistaken, they will never learn because they believe they already have the answers.

Yes, good description. Hannity is another one.

I watched Bill O'Reilly every night for years, starting in the 90s. In fact, I sent him some historical information once in while, and he would use them on the air.

After 9/11, Fox News lost its collective mind. They've been deranged ever since, and the on air personalities they hire are stupider and stupider. Just when I think they could not possibly find another personality who is dumber, they manage to find some.

I also noticed that just about every night, O'Reilly would show scantily clad girls in various locales and he would express his disdain.

It became obvious very quickly he had a sexual kink and could not stop himself.

At some point, I stopped watching. His opinions became intolerable and chock full of logical fallacies. Strawmen and lies of omission were his bread and butter.

As we all know, his perversions came to light one day, and he was done for. I was not the least bit surprised.

I have had no interest in watching or listening to him for well over 20 years now. I know he's still out there in the remotest areas of the web somewhere, but I don't give a shit.
