Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

John T. Ryan HAVING been on the Fox News Channel for about 13 years now, THE O'REILLY FACTOR (Fox News Channel, 1996-present) shows no signs of going away. The series, which is a sort of combination of a News & Commentary program like that the late, and singularly great Paul Harvey did over the Radio Waves for well over a half a century with MEET THE PRESS (NBC TV Network, 1947-????). It has the distinction of having been the most watched Cable TV Network News Show for some years now; having shown no signs of slowing down.CRITICS of the program, and there have been and remain quite a few, have constantly ragged on the star for being opinionated, close minded and pedantic in attitude and in his treatment of both guests and viewers alike. His on air feuds have been frequent and good for ratings. O'Reilly's adversaries are fairly evenly distributed over the Political Spectrum; having had criticism from the "Big 3" Networks' main talking heads; as well as with Conservative Radio Talk Hosts, such as G. Gordon Liddy and Michael Savage.THE success that Mr. O'Reilly now enjoys was not easy coming. Prior to his nightly spot at 8:00 P.M. (7:00 Central Time), he had been a teacher, newspaper reporter and local TV news man. The 'place' that we first remember seeing him was in the Anchor's Chair on the syndicated Tabloid TV Show, INSIDE EDITION (King World/CBS TV Syndications, 1988-Present); being in that capacity from its inception in '88 up until '95.OVER the years, Mr. O'Reilly did many a guest shot in many different types of programs; from series TV, news, talk and even feature films. His meandering around the bright lights of show biz came to a screeching halt with the ascension to the chair of his own news-talk program. The assignment fit him to a tee and he steadily built up a following.REASONS for such success seem to be mysterious, yet obvious. O'Reilly projects a certain personality, which effects all differently; but is impossible to ignore. While one may really like this persona, others may find him repulsive. It is an obvious and classic example of "love me or hate me, but don't ignore me." WE confess that he is not our favourite exponent of our Conservative Political views; preferring the likes of Gordon Liddy, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Michael Medved. We still find THE O'REILLY FACTOR to be a part of the typical evening's viewing. The program is usually most informative and seldom boring.HIS long reign continues right up to this very evening and appears to be a long, long run; which will continue until he decides to hang it up. His chosen image of being smug and always right has managed to survive all those barbs from the Left Wing Liberal Press & Electronic Media, as well as accusations of Sexual Harassment; being he Ultimate MOAB of charges.** ODDLY enough, amid all this domestic political strife, Bill O'Reilly claims that he is neither a Liberal nor a Conservative; just a guy looking for the truth. You be the Judge, Schultz! NOTE: * For the benefit of all of our readers who are too young to remember (and that probably is about 80-90%), THE LIFE OF RILEY had been both a successful Radio Comedy in the 1940's as well as a mainstay as a TV Sitcom in the 1950's. In both cases Mr. William Bendix portrayed Chester A. Riley.NOTE: ** This MOAB is a modern, military term; being an acronym for " the Mother Of All Bombs. While not being nuclear, it is clearly the biggest, baddest and most powerful.PODLE SCHNITZ!!

ccthemovieman-1 Despite the fact that he's rude and obnoxious, he has the best cable news/ commentary show on television.....and knows it. Nobody is even close to him, frankly, and the ratings verify that. Why is the O'Reilly Factor so successful? Several reasons.He's intense, somewhat unpredictable, usually has a good mix of culture and politics as the night's subjects, puts up with none of the usual "spin" you hear on other programs, keeps things rolling with a number of segments and, if something works he stays with it. Although favoring Conservative views over Liberal, he will go either way on certain issues, as "60 Minutes" pointed out earlier in 2007 on its program. He won't allow boring guests, often cutting them off if they begin to "bloviate." His biggest fault, to me, is his constant interrupting. Sometimes I get impatient with that and turn the program, simply for that reason. Yet, if he isn't hosting the show, I usually am not interested. Nobody runs this program better than O'Reilly Everyone else seems dull compared to him. What I appreciate is his attention to the culture and how entertaining he makes the program.Like a number of other talk show hosts, including sports guys, if you refuse to come on his show, he really tees off on you, considering you a coward for not confronting him. His favorite guests, other than guys who make him laugh like Dennis Miller, are pretty women. Most of the women who are regular contributors to the show have one thing in common: they all have beauty and brains. Examples include Laurie Dhue, Megyn Kelly, Lis Wiehl, Mary Katharine Hamm and Michelle Malkin (formerly a guest host). They all contribute, literally, to the look of this show each week. You don't see many, if any, plain or ugly women on this show. I doubt that is an accident. I am not complaining. As a guy, it's tough to me to ignore Kelly or Dhue, in particular.O'Reilly also balances the "heavy" material with the light, having weekly fun segments of pop quiz contests and having a former TV icon as a guest each week - people many of us grew up watching - discussing their old shows.O'Reilly can absolutely infuriate you, but he's fearless, outspoken, and more open to both sides than his critics will leave to you believe. This is one of the very few people who state he doesn't belong to any particular political party, and I believe him.

PWNYCNY Critiqing a news commentator is like trying to critique an editorial page editor. Everyone has opinions and on the "O'Reilly Factor" opinions are flying all over the place. Mr. O'Reilly has his opinions and his guests theirs. He confronts his guests and elicits responses. What makes this formula effective is that Mr. O'Reilly pulls no punches and gives his guests ample opportunity to respond, leading to interesting and revealing exchanges of opinions on a wide variety of controversial topics. Also. Bill O'Reilly doesn't duck anyone, and on every show presents his views and invites comment. This format gives "The Factor" credibility and is therefore a news program that should be watched.

CourtoftheTable Leaves out anything that might have some value and debases everything. It truly is the easier softer way. Complain and offer nothing in return. What bothers me most about liberals is that they don't give us anything of substance. It is like earth day all ceremony no substance. Sweeping commentary lumping everyone that watches Bill as an idiot not capable of reasonable thought. I wonder why IMDb chooses to put that particular commentary without having either something neutral or another giving balance to this obviously out of balance report. We need balance in this country what we should have is liberals required to evaluate what is good in conservative thought and vice versa. You cannot throw the baby out with the bath water.
