O'Reilly serves the purpose of extremism in the media. He does for TV what Rush does for radio, and he does it well. Granted this type of Media has become more entertainment than news, and many listen as a reality check to show them what NOT to do, but this in itself serves a valid purpose.
I tend to think of these folks along the same lines as the Daily Show. Both try to work the news into a form of entertainment. The main difference is the template used, one is harsh and leaves me feeling hateful. The other is funny and makes me laugh.
I suppose it comes down to your own personal preference,and whether you want to enjoy the entertainment with a beer....or a shotgun.
