Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 12:55 AM I love and enjoy Loveline and the Oreilly Factor. Does that make me retarded...?
Loveline is a comedy gem. Adam's "on the fly" comedic genius is highly underrated (he's WAY funnier than Kimmel, sorry Jimmy) and a lot of people discount what Drew adds to the mix. Just a great show!
Oreilly is an acquired taste. People paint him as a blowhard, arrogant and mean. He can be those things but he's also a guy who is not scared to ask the tough questions. He asks his guests direct questions (usually questions you and me would like answered) and does not tolerate BS. The only time he interrupts is when the guests are dodging the questions by speeches or tries to change the subject. He tends to approach a lot of issues using "common sense".
The best kept secret about Oreilly's show is ... IT CAN BE FUNNY AS HELL! Especially the last segment where he reads the love/hate email he gets... they can be priceless.
All I'm saying is, if you want some news analysis that is smart, fair and entertaining, give the Oreilly Factor a peep. It can be GREAT COMEDY to see powerfull politicians and slimy lawyers WRIGGLE and SWEAT trying to answer no-BS questions.
If you prefer "softball" interviews where guests can just spout out their views without being challenged, go watch that pussy Larry King...:) —crumple1 |
