OT: Bill O'Reilly Let Go From Fox News

I agree he is entertaining, but what a weasel.  How can you have someone like this on the news?  I suppose they'll just find someone even worse, like Hannity or maybe give that muppet, Alex Jones, a call.

Well if he has suffered brain damage, I'm glad it is the sort that occasionally makes you want to point out the error of their ways at Fox News (and the world).  I don't know if he has the solutions, but at least he knows the problems, and that's a start.

The funny thing is, most these guys at Fox say they are Christians, and sure, they probably love Jesus when he is just a character in a book, but if someone like Jesus actually ran for president, with his main focus being on helping the poor and needy, then the entire Fox Network would be spending every waking minute of the day savagely attacking and condemning him.  In fact Jesus would probably be Bill's pinhead of the day for 365 days running (with no respite for Xmas or Easter). 

I don't rate Russell Brand when it comes to stand up comedy, I'm not a big fan of his columns in the Guardian or Observer or whoever it was he was writing for (more his writing style I don't like rather than the content), he is ill suited to Newsnight (I don't think his beliefs had been interrogated rigorously enough before he went on, so he was made to look a little silly by people whose job it is to ask tough questions), and I think he tries too hard when he is on light entertainment shows like Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross.

But I dunno, despite all this, I still find him very likeable.  He's a good egg in my book.  I liked his youtube channel and I liked him when he was presenting Big Brother's Little Brother (years ago when I used to watch it, I think that was his first break into TV?).  But I think he's stopped doing the youtube stuff now which is a shame.
