When he doesn't have facts to support his position, he pulls "facts" of his own making out of the air like a magician. About 90 percent of his interviews with anyone is <em>him</em> talking. That's why he calls it the "O'Really Factor," never letting the conversation stray far from his favorite subject. He's a verbal bully who doesn't know how to handle an imperturbable guest. I suspect that most of his viewers are simpletons who think he's brilliant. Long live Keith Olberman! O’Really makes Geraldo look like a great journalist.

It will emphasize the secular/cultural aspects of the holiday. Most of it has nothing to do with religion anyway. On the other hand a private business has the right to make whatever business decisions it wants.

Why does Bill O' Reilly call it the "atheistic" point of view? Is it a rule that all Fox commentators either have to eliminate or add a meaningless syllable to every group they want to show derision to? The Democrat Party The atheistic point of view. What do you expect from those Christianistical people?
