For a couple of years, starting about 2006 I was a regular O'Reilly watcher. Not because I agreed with most all of his views but because he covered the stories of the day in a entertaining way. Same reason I listen to a conservative talk show program sometimes on the way home from work. Find it interesting how the otherside sees things. Have a pretty good filter and see through most of the bias from wherever it's coming from, including the biggest one of ALL $$$$.

Stopped watching O'Reilly soon after Obama's election. Just got ridiculous imo. Couldn't listen to his overthetop rants against him.

Do see problems with any person who is easily influenced and doesn't have the abilty to filter out the BS that is fed to us everyday through all media venues and sometimes from people in our lives.

Anyone who watches cable news networks are getting plenty of propaganda. There's the DNC's propaganda wings in MSNBC and CNN while the GOP has its propaganda wing in Fox. There's no such thing as straight news anymore, at least from the cable news outlets. All three are pushing their biased agendas.

The right flocks to Fox, the left to MSNBC and CNN, so one can't blame these stations for catering and presenting to their viewers what they want to hear. All are corporate owned and all are in the news business for the money. All three intend to keep their viewers happy and returning. The more viewership, the more money they can charge for their commercials. So the news on cable is presented with their bias slants of keeping their audience happy and returning.

It's really very simple. MSNBC and CNN viewers think Fox is the most biased and slanted network around while Fox viewers think MSNBC and CNN are the most biased and slated. In truth, all three are.
 
Here's a Fox News viewer:

Man arrested after disrupting salute to first responders, waving gun, police said
Suspect crashes SUV after police give chase

According to investigators, the suspect drove an SUV through a parade of first responders who were paying tribute to the staff at Mercy Fitzgerald Medical Center Tuesday night.

Officers said the man threatened to hurt people while waving a gun.

It is rather simple. Those on the right are driven by information. They are capable of making intelligent decisions and determining if the information being fed to them is correct or slanted. Those on the left are driven by hate. They suck up anything that is anti Trump as the gospel and close their ears to anything positive that is said about the man.

Wish I could give you a double like! Your short post is, in a nutshell, the truth of the matter!

like demanding "freedom" but being incapable of showing personal responsibility?

Do you still beat your wife? C'mon. See the goofy options you have provided? Is it possible your poll is actually a sounding board for your view?

Could give some evidence he was a FNC viewer or it partisan speculation on your part?
Do you really think only a FNC viewers carry a gun? Do really believe no one on the left who are ardent viewers of either CNN or MSNBC don't carry/own or maybe are even evil members of the NRA? You are either brainwashed or just plain day dreaming...or worst.
I guess the admitted Bernie Sanders supporter, James Hodgkinson, the man who shot up the Republican baseball game was a life long FNC viewer too? Inspiration I tell you...inspiration!

Tell us all what the other options might have been.
Why would a viewer who watches channels that don't spin the pandemic want to hurt first responders?



Thanks for the lamest, fact-free cup of weak sauce.
I'm sure you have believers in that basement that you trust.
