One of Rupert's puppets..

Bill O'Reilly

One of my  grandsons thought it would be amusing to give me a signed copy of Bill O'Reilly's book.  So I started to read it.  After a couple of chapters, it became obvious he is trying to tell the reader how to think.  In other words he is insulting his readers capacity to think for themselves.  Example;  right away in the opening chapter, he says he admires the President, and you should too, for taking an unpopular position, a viewpoint which  O'Reilly supports.  And then in the very next chapter he grants himself the right to insult the President for taking a position, which he doesn't support, stating the President is only doing so because it is the popular thing to do.  The entire book follows this pattern.  If you agree with him you are a hero.  If you disagree, you're a pinhead.  Throughout the book and using the first two chapters about the president s an example, he never suggests the possibility of a third option, the president was supporting positions which he thought were in the best interests of the country.

As a Rupert Murdoch hired media puppet, Bill O'Reilly makes a lot of money for saying sound bites, and other things he is told to say, while he is stating his positions.  For him, and his brother sound bite commentators, using criticism of this country for personal gain is what life is all about.  So they are incapable of thinking a President might take positions FOR the country BEFORE any personal considerations.  They have some good Republican examples to follow.
Al Franken, a senator from Minnesota, authored a best selling book, it was about liars and he used O'Reilley's picture on the cover, as one of the examples.  He must be a liar. the book is still on the bookshelves.
