    Exactly. You would think people wouldn’t be so ignorant and smart enough to look beyond the talking box in their house and do their own research before they make up their mind.

    No, somewhere out there; fat idiots sitting on their ‘couches’ lap up the **** Bill O’Reilly says and take his uninformed opinions unanimously as their own. Sad, sad world.

    So you’re trying a rational approach at the type who considers criticism of anything American to be anti-American slander. You may be wasting your time.

    Even in this clip you can see him also criticising the UK media and praising the American anchor’s looks.
