And people wonder why O Reilly continues to kick Olbermanns arse in the ratings department, and why the rest of Fox News does the same.
O Reilly looks out for America, while Olbermann tries to turn it into a communist wasteland, just like the rest of the media. He doesn't care about illegal immigration or child molestors or school leaders encouraging their students to take illicit drugs.
Quit setting up straw men. Olbermann is not a communist, he simply just has a distinctly different perspective on things than O'Reilly or Bush. People have different perspectives and different values, this does not make them the much loathed Commie boogie man of the fifties, or some anti-war pansy.
Personally I find O'Reilly to be right on on some particular issues, Olbermann can often be right on about others, and both can and are wrong from time to time just like everyone on this planet.
As for Fox News, the actual reporting and journalism is by and large fine, the personality-based shows are obviously right wing gas bags, mixed with moderates, just as left wing gas bags plague some of the other channels. I'd like more moderates and less shrill idiots from both sides caterwauling nonstop, forgetting they have two ears and one mouth for a reason.
