Frenetic ramblings from the start of the "War on Terror" logging my attempts to film outside Finsbury park mosque over 3 years and sitting through all the subsequent court cases. These days I am usually on Post Factual Society on Facebuk. Do visit Youtube.com/malungtvnews
I really like both of them. They are honest and tell it how they see it. I think for US TV this piece is really beautiful. I like the way they interact. I would love to meet both of them.
BTW- O'Reilly's also a bully, not much to like in that, either.
He's a certified creep.
Clips of him flying his true colors are nothing short of sickening. And it sickens me that a man like him has any audience at all in my homeland. It deeply worries me about my culture.
All over this world this duality of "left" and "right" exists and I enjoy the psychology of it although I can of course be more subjective about the American right than I can about the British right, though even they distress me a lot less than in the dark days of Thatcherism.
People from the right seem more clear cut than those of more "liberal" values. Hence O'Riley's preoccupation with "winning".
Yes, I think according to his own understanding he thinks he is honest. I didn't like him at first but he's grown on me.
I don't think any real solution will involve the "defeat" of one side by the other, a real solution has to appeal to all "sides" to work.
But then again, both sides would very possibly crucify one who brought it.
Sides aren't at issue with me. Like I've said before, it takes the friction of opposing ideas to generate the heat of meaningful change. But honesty and integrity are key.
I don't think O'Reilly believes himself to be honest. Not for a minute. How could he? If he does, he is pathologically delusional. He is the worst sort of con man, and he is caught-out regularly. He knows it. The record shows it. He's an Irish Limbaugh.
The only reason he maintains a following is his fawning audience has no concept or value of critical thinking. Listen to them. They shamelessly embrace the ethics of Machiavelli.
We are all losing by falling for this bogus notion of winning.

O'Reilly is such a bloody phony.
Letterman has never had any patience with phonies.
O'Reilly got off easy. He shouldn't press his luck with Dave. Dave will cut him up.

You really believe O'Reilly is honest?
You aren't paying close enough attention, Bones.
He speaks with a deeply forked tongue. It's a matter of record.
Search Crooks and Liars.
David Letterman is a national treasure. When he smokes out phonies like O'Reilly, the label usually sticks.
Letterman despises O'Reilly.

No offense to the Irish.

I think Letterman gets this across.
Definitely.
He also gets across the false dichotomy of "left" and "right".
