Hating Bill O'Reilly is similar to hating the villian in wrestling. He's playing a part so that you and other people will get upset and make noise. He wants you either like him or hate him. He doesn't want you to not care.

Hmmmm... excellent point. I understand why Bush ran for President.

yep, he's great at his job and he makes tons of money doing it. I think I remember seeing him explicitly say that he plays a part on air.

PS speaking of wrestling I saw some new wrestling organization on Spike after Ultimate Fighter last night and it was pretty sweet. Overacted but entertaining

Yeah, what a great guest to have on the show. I loved when Jon Stewart used a Charlie Brown analogy to prove a point on France, where does he come up with this stuff? O'reily's reaction to it was also priceless, he had this sort of "what the [censored] are you talking" about look on his face.

Re: Bill O\'Reilly
 
The part where Jon Stewart told O'Reilly there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, and O'Reilly said something to the effect of "you dont buy into that liberal bullshit do you?" Then called Jon a "pinhead" made me kinda mad. Jon cracked up and basically dropped it. This is part of what makes him a great interviewer, that he can touch on good topics but not push them to the point of being confrontational (it is a comedy show after all). Still, I wanted Jon to deck him, or at least persue it a bit further.

That French tirade was pretty rediculous too. Ii doesnt matter that he is playing a charcter; it discourages me that people have watched him for 9 years.

Re: Bill O\'Reilly
 
I like O'reilly. Sure, he is confrontational, opinionated and quite arrogant. But at the same time, is usually pretty smart on his subjects. Obviously it isn't just him, he has to have a terrific research team that helps him know what he does. But, his facts are usually pretty well right, his opinions and arguments are based on evidence, and he does a good job (though loud and arrogant) of destroying other people's fallacies. But, then again, I definitely tend to the right end of the political spectrum. At the same time, Jon Stewart rules. He does a fantaastic job with his show. Personally, I think that it is one of the funniest things on tv.

Re: Bill O\'Reilly
 
I watched it and thought the entire segment was hilarious. Him and Stewart were clearly playing off each other and they did a great job in putting together an entertaining segment. He may be a blow hard but this interview is not reason in itself for saying he needs to lighten up.

There should be a spinoff of PTI (ESPN sports show) where Stewart and O'Reily argue their respective points against each other daily, thats entertainment.

I think that is the problem. It is a good idea in theory, but on PTI, they are at least on the same wave length and can agree on lots of topics. O'Reilly would eventually jump over the desk at Stewart. And anyone that says the Daily Show isn't political or doesn't have a political agenda is flat out stupid.

He has mastered the art of sounding smart, while actually being an idiot. Instead of presenting facts and logical arguments when his guest says something he disagrees with, he makes a sarcastic jab and rolls his eyes at the camera.

Regardless of whether or not I agree with Stewart's politics, the above quote is one of the most untrue things I've recently read.

It's extremely difficult to be a bigger douche than Bill O'Reilly, and Jon Stewart doesn't even come close.

jon stewart is a comedian. if his act is rolling eyes, and the act is funny, he's done his job well. if his act is sounding smart while saying idiotic things, he's done his job very well. if you think he has a political agenda because you counted the number of republican jokes vs. democrat jokes... well... his show is clearly not for you.

o'reilly is a self-proclaimed reporter/journalist. (even though he's said that it is a "news analysis" program which i can only imagine excuses him from covering anything he doesn't like.) if he says something that's demonstratably (word?) a lie, it's not comedy, it's the definition of being-a-douche.

If you don't thing Stewart had a political agenda, then you are in idiot. It has nothing to do with "counting jokes"

To set some things straight:
1. I never said Jon Stewart wasn't a good comedian, he's hillarious, and I find him very entertaining. He's also a douche.
2. I'm not defending Bill O'Reilly.
3. I am defending fox news viewers.

are you actually challenging someone to provide a random sample of 10 FoxNews viewers and a random sample of 10 NPR viewers and quizzing them on current political events? are you actually arguing that the NPR viewers would do worse?

or perhaps you are arguing that Comedy Central viewers are douches who don't get the real story.
