types of people that watch o'reilly

1)republicans who are impressed with his no-nonsense approach and his conservative values. although they may disagree every now and then, they usually just accept what he says because it probably sounds logical at first and they feel comfortable holding a majority opinion rather than think through issues themselves

2)democrats who are outraged by his incessant arrogance. they take pride in the fact that they disagree with every single issue he presents because after all he is just a tool for the corporate giants...but they will never give him any credit for any good point he may make

3)undecided people who dont really care too much about the issues, but like watching the show because its fun to watch people argue

4)people who watched the show for a little bit and liked his style....but then stopped watching because they realized the following:

a)SENSATIONALISM - his entire job consists of finding opposing opinions and exploiting them, whether they relavant or not
b)he gets his popularity through hatred - republicans watch to trash democrats, and vice versa
c)if he really gave a damn about helping people like he acts he would find common ground that both republicans and democrats can work together to achieve, not just play both sides against each other
d)his show has no value...not as a news source, not as a debate forum, not as a voice for the majorit or minority...it is Jerry Springer without the chairs



so obviously i have stopped watching the show as i have realized the things i have just listed....can anyone guess if I am democrat or republican?? the winner gets a cookie
