Beyond that, O'Reilly makes it clear that his show is Commentary, not News.

I know that's confusing to a lot of people, given that O'Reilly was once a reporter. Think of it as being analogous to Madonna having once been a virgin.

that he wants you to take as news. Rush, Hannity, etc. are guilty of the same thing. Most commentators of any political stripe seem to be that way..."My thoughts on the subject are the last word on the subject." They want you to buy in to their schtick to keep them on the air or in print more easily. I prefer to listen to them for purely entertainment value.

Until how many hours after birth?

Anyway, I don't need DailyKos to tell me to boycott the station, and that alone is why the boycott will fail.
