Bill O'Reilly claims to be fair and balanced on a network that claims to be fair and balanced. If you only watch cable news, you might actually think this is true. If you turned to the BBC news or some impartial news sources, you will find that the FAUX/O'Reilly version of fair and balanced is anything but.

Yes he acts like a cantankerous old coot, but this is just an act. As his his background - he claims to be from a working class household when his actual upbringing was rather affluent. He claims to be fair, but if a guest is not cooperating he has no problem yelling at them or simply cuttin their mic. O'Reilly is a litle better than Scarborough, Weiner (Savage), and Rush, but he is no Walter Cronkite.
