	He's ok, but too liberal for me. His stance on amnesty for illegal aliens really hurt my respect for him. Another thing that I don't like about Bill, is that he is too cozy with far left liberals like Chuck Schumer, and John Kerry. Can you believe he actually called Chuck Schumer a conservative!!! Maybe Chuck Schumer is conservative compared to Bill O'Reilly :) Bill O'Reilly is about 60% conservative, and 40% liberal. If he were 20% more conservative, and had a 20 point higher IQ he would be a clone Sean Hannity. I guess he appeals to the moderate to slightly conservative listeners.

	Very open middle-of-the-road point of veiw that does not lean heavily to either political party may offend the 15-20% most extreme of each party, but appeals very strongly to independent open minded citizens like myself. It is the best talk show on the radio to get a strong feel for important issues, the values and podiums of political candidates, and the current state of affairs of the world. Unfortunately, he is on assignment quite often leaving someone else to substitute 50% of the time during the parts of the year you want to listen to him most (such as close to election dates). His radio show is also limited to a 2 hour slot, when similar shows are airing 3-4 hours a day. Highly recommended, highly stimulating show for those whose opinions are open to re-examination when very good points and new findings are brought forward.

	Bill most often just presents issues as they are without slanting them with ideas of how he wished things were, as your average so called democrat will do blindly and without hesitation in a matter of fact way, with no regard what so ever for the truth. Sadly the people who appose the facts are usually very prejudice and ignorant, or in the case of their leaders, are just preying on the self pitying losers (or supporters), to bolster their own egos and political rating.

	The Radio Factor (Bill O'Reilly) focuses on issues, not entertainment. One of my favorite things about his show is that he is not a "spokesman" for either party. He criticizes and praises both sides of the political spectrum, based solely on their choices, not on who they are as people. He avoids personal attacks, though many people take his strong opinions on issues as "rude" or "arrogant." Just on a personal note -- he's my favorite talk show host by far!

	Escuse me, is this my opinion. Then why don't you just do the rating for me!!!! I've never heard of such a thing. My ratings ar out of line with YOUR OPINION. His ratings outrank everybody, so he does speak for a whole lot of people who are not represented by the dominant liberal mainstream media, including all the major TV news shows. I just changed all of my 7's to three's because I was not allowed to post my real feelings.

	Bill O'Reilly is about the most awful example of what has become of political discourse. He is just factually wrong on about everything and chronically lies about what he has and hasn't said. He is the Ted Baxter of talk radio. Just pathetic.

	Lis Wiehl contributes practically nothing. ED Hill at least has spark & will challenge O'Reilly. O'Reilly seems to make up things as he goes along. He seems to be so smug that he doesn't research anythung any more

	Like his TV show which I watch less and less, BOR interviews friends too much who have nothing of information value to offer (Geraldo). BOR is a weak debater and is unable to deal with nonsense like Savage or Hannity. BOR did do well dealing with Donahue but overall he lacks character to stand up very long for any pressing issue of the day that he opposes. If the opposition invites him to dinner, BOR comes around and decides that maybe he was wrong in his position. As I said, he is weak in character.

	no matter what he says, he is not balanced. his show is pro-republican and anti-democrat. he does not check his facts, and his errors are well documented. he'll never admit to them though. he'll never accept a different point of view. very absolutist. for those who think that he really cares about the 'folks', or the children, or the charities, wake up!!! it's all an act. his website and his merchandise take your money for charity, not his. his books make him a ton of money, foxnews and the radio show pay him handsomely. he knows that this image makes him a very wealthy man, but it's your money that he is donating.

	O'Reilly is narrow minded, won't let the guests express their views, is self centered with no feelings for anyone else; is a mounth piece for the president and republicans and lacks the ability to think. He is overbearing, blow hard and repulsive. I turn off the station as soon as his show comes on.cannot tolerate a view different from his own or the view he is paid to present- no one can be as narrow minded as Mr. Reilly so cannot believe that he could be expressing those of Fox news rather than his own- Greta is the only one on Fox that is worth listening to.

	A rather blah show, despite Bill towing the political line. Has strong opinions and has good guests and interviews his guest exceptionally well. My biggest problem is that when listeners call in to ask Bill a question,his opinion,or challenge him, Bill will succinctly answer it and move along without throwing it back to the caller. I'd love to hear the callers respond to his answers and to hear the audience's opinion. Without this back & forth the show is more like a pompous show of getting answers from the sage guru on top of the mountain. This really brings down the enjoyability of the show.

	I feel that Bill O'Reilly presents a solid program with a high level of honesty and integrity. At times, I feel that he dwells on human rights issues rather excessively, but that kind of flavor may be appealing to a broader audience than just myself. Most stories seem well researched, and if anything else, I can appreciate his sincerity. Passion makes good radio.

2007-01-26 12:31:42

Good topics, on the whole he is fair and balanced. Uses facts a lot. Goes overboard to prove his right.

Bill has one of the best shows on the air. He does not support the right wing even when their wrong and is truely fair & balanced. Needs more air time in the Houston area.

Bill,do you still think we need to Stay The Course,or do you agree with the Left and get out of Irac,the War is not winable,Larry

2006-11-06 17:20:11

Thinks outside the box and encourages listeners to do the same.

Bill most often just presents issues as they are without slanting them with ideas of how he wished things were, as your average so called democrat will do blindly and without hesitation in a matter of fact way, with no regard what so ever for the truth. Sadly the people who appose the facts are usually very prejudice and ignorant, or in the case of their leaders, are just preying on the self pitying losers (or supporters), to bolster their own egos and political rating.

O'Reilly does present both sides, but with a right-wing slant. Very informative and gets you thinking...

fair, honest, and as balanced as humanly possible

2006-07-31 16:25:31

He backs up the topics with facts. And covers topics that the regular news does not cover enough. He tells it like it is!!!

2006-07-26 12:34:03

Is more balanced on whole than others with similar talk shows. Don't get his anti- Death Penalty stance, but rails for life for other crimes.

2006-07-14 10:45:24

a water boy for bush and a coward,as are most bullies.Take a good look at how he talks and the way he lives,you will see the true man.

This frickin overbearing idiot really went on my sxxxlist when he critized the UFC. F-Off u self rightous "lookin out for you" Leprechan

2006-07-11 12:30:31

Does a great job of showing both sides of an issue and doesn't hesitate on telling pin heads to shut up. No PC speech here. Bravo bill.

The Radio Factor (Bill O'Reilly) focuses on issues, not entertainment. One of my favorite things about his show is that he is not a "spokesman" for either party. He criticizes and praises both sides of the political spectrum, based solely on their choices, not on who they are as people. He avoids personal attacks, though many people take his strong opinions on issues as "rude" or "arrogant." Just on a personal note -- he's my favorite talk show host by far!

Escuse me, is this my opinion. Then why don't you just do the rating for me!!!! I've never heard of such a thing. My ratings ar out of line with YOUR OPINION. His ratings outrank everybody, so he does speak for a whole lot of people who are not represented by the dominant liberal mainstream media, including all the major TV news shows. I just changed all of my 7's to three's because I was not allowed to post my real feelings.

2006-06-07 15:26:16

Love this show!!! Bill really knows his stuff. I love the current event topics he is not afraid to tackle!!!

2006-06-04 13:25:07

Bill O'Reilly is about the most awful example of what has become of political discourse. He is just factually wrong on about everything and chronically lies about what he has and hasn't said. He is the Ted Baxter of talk radio. Just pathetic.

2006-06-04 08:30:13

Lis Wiehl contributes practically nothing. ED Hill at least has spark & will challenge O'Reilly. O'Reilly seems to make up things as he goes along. He seems to be so smug that he doesn't research anythung any more

2006-05-22 19:18:45

Like his TV show which I watch less and less, BOR interviews friends too much who have nothing of information value to offer (Geraldo). BOR is a weak debater and is unable to deal with nonsense like Savage or Hannity. BOR did do well dealing with Donahue but overall he lacks character to stand up very long for any pressing issue of the day that he opposes. If the opposition invites him to dinner, BOR comes around and decides that maybe he was wrong in his position. As I said, he is weak in character.

2006-05-05 15:03:54

I'm embarrassed for the host when a guest seems to know the topic better or presents better arguments and the host doesn't seem to have a good argument to counter the guest's point of view.

2006-04-28 20:25:13

I use to listen to Bill and enjoy him because I thought he was a straight shooter. But this guy just lies way too much and does so with this arrogant authority. I think he is a very sad and sick human being and too cowardly to ever admit to his many distortions.

1. GOOD: I really enjoy Judge Napolitano, ED Hill & Lis Wiehl who are often on the Radio Factor! 2. GOOD: I'm glad the Radio Factor is no longer on the Buck & Kincaid sports channel in Atlanta.

2006-03-06 14:29:31

no matter what he says, he is not balanced. his show is pro-republican and anti-democrat. he does not check his facts, and his errors are well documented. he'll never admit to them though. he'll never accept a different point of view. very absolutist. for those who think that he really cares about the 'folks', or the children, or the charities, wake up!!! it's all an act. his website and his merchandise take your money for charity, not his. his books make him a ton of money, foxnews and the radio show pay him handsomely. he knows that this image makes him a very wealthy man, but it's your money that he is donating.

Bill blows away all others, even Rush and Savage. To my knowledge he's the only one who really cares about children and does something about it. The Factor is addictive, in a good way.

2005-11-15 22:36:19

O'Reilly is not as good on radio as he is on TV. Maybe working without a script is not his thing.

2005-10-01 00:23:41

O'Reilly is narrow minded, won't let the guests express their views, is self centered with no feelings for anyone else; is a mounth piece for the president and republicans and lacks the ability to think. He is overbearing, blow hard and repulsive. I turn off the station as soon as his show comes on.cannot tolerate a view different from his own or the view he is paid to present- no one can be as narrow minded as Mr. Reilly so cannot believe that he could be expressing those of Fox news rather than his own- Greta is the only one on Fox that is worth listening to.

2005-09-14 15:26:41

Average radio at best.

2005-09-09 00:01:40

2005-08-31 16:57:13

A rather blah show, despite Bill towing the political line. Has strong opinions and has good guests and interviews his guest exceptionally well. My biggest problem is that when listeners call in to ask Bill a question,his opinion,or challenge him, Bill will succinctly answer it and move along without throwing it back to the caller. I'd love to hear the callers respond to his answers and to hear the audience's opinion. Without this back & forth the show is more like a pompous show of getting answers from the sage guru on top of the mountain. This really brings down the enjoyability of the show.

Highly intelligent, well-spoken, makes excellent points. His only negative is that he's a little smug, but who in radio and television isn't a little full of themselves? They all are.

2005-06-23 16:41:24

I feel that Bill O'Reilly presents a solid program with a high level of honesty and integrity. At times, I feel that he dwells on human rights issues rather excessively, but that kind of flavor may be appealing to a broader audience than just myself. Most stories seem well researched, and if anything else, I can appreciate his sincerity. Passion makes good radio.

2005-06-15 21:30:29

2005-05-20 13:24:32

Pros: Bill has the best research and facts on many of todays biggest issues. The first 15 minutes of each hour are top notch. Big children's advocate. Cons: Gets stuck on topics from time to time, and tends to think issues are a bigger deal then they really are.

2005-05-07 23:56:49

2005-04-27 12:21:29

I don't care for the unpleasant and unpatriotic gist of Mr. O'Reillys loyalties. He strikes me as an insincere demagogue, and not a true conservative.

2005-02-11 14:22:03

Good moral conscientiousness. Not always right, but reasonbly open minded and knowledgeable. His educational experiences are of tremendous benefit to his program and insight.

2005-01-31 13:33:18

I only had the stomach to listen one time - turned to his show by accident. The intro is full of BOR's "me, me, me" and goes downhill from there. NO CREDIBILITY.
