Yes I do watch the O'Reilly factor at least twice a week, more if I get out of work at a reasonable hour. Honestly the most frustrating thing about the O'Reilly factor for me is his reluctance to call the Republicans on the abandonment of conservative values. If anyone should have been infuriated that the previous Congress funded this war via special appropriations well after it was a known expense, it should have been Bill O'Reilly. Don't mistake my criticism of his on-air personality for disagreement with his fundamental premises.
I basically stopped watching Countdown after Michael Jackson Puppet theater ended but it was fucking hilarious when it was on.
I have heard O'Reilly go after Bush for the wild increase in govt. spending - he had a show where he said that it was a primary reason for the cons abandoning the repubs in the midterms - repubs acting like dems spending wise. He is pro war however so taking the admin/congress to task for deficit spending for the war is not his agenda.
I find Olbermann funny sometimes - the tape above about the book is hilarious. I do struggle with really funny and really serious - tough to take the latter stuff with the former. Can't be a comedian and a serious journalist. Perhaps Keith O should be on Comedy Central
