They then pointed out that NBC would not allow ANY of the hosts of their MSNBC shows (Ed Shulz, Chris Matthews, or Rachel Maddow) to appear with Koppel on that broadcast because they didn't want to be criticized.
Just goes to show you the hypocrisy of MSNBC and some of the liberal media.
I pretty much disagree with every word out of O'Reilly's mouth.
BUT...he brings Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Michael Moore, etc. on his show and argues points with them. He also has went on Maher's show, Stewart's show, The View, Letterman, Leno, etc and been crucified by them.
But he has the balls to do that.
Ed Shulz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Matthews all have guests every day that only agree with them 100% and never, ever put themselves in a position to seriously debate people on the other side of the political spectrum.
Matter of fact, Rachel Maddow was on Bill Maher's show a couple of weeks ago. And Bill had a conservative on the panel. The conservative guy pointed out that Rachel is liberal biased in her reporting.
Oh my fucking God! She went off on him! Got all pissed off and claimed that she is NEVER biased and only reports the truth!
The agitated way she responded was very telling. (especially if you've ever seen her show)

He brings them on his show, because it's good for ratings.. His viewer base wants to hear him tell them off. It's like not having skinheads throwing chairs on Jerry Springer or skanks flashing their tits. The viewer base expects it and he gives it to them.
To a large group of hardcore conservatives Liberal is the same as niger in their mind as they are full of hate and they use the words in the same tone. They only want to see so called liberal on their puppet master's talk show because it makes them feel good when he bickers at them and tells the they are wrong.
Make no mistake about it, Bill O'Reilly show is nothing more that a talk show like Jerry Springer. It might be on the topic of some news event but it sure as hell isn't news.
