O'Reilly is also disingenuous in that he calls himself "independent" rather
than conservative or republican, while almost always toeing the GOP party
line. He was a registered republican until recently, when some other news
reporter called him on his dishonesty for identifying himself as
independent. He then changed his voter's registration to independent, no
doubt solely in order to continue billing himself on TV as having
"independent" opinions.
The most aggravating thing about FOX is not that it's biased; it's that it
bills as unbiased when it is clearly the most biased news network. O'Reilly
is only part of the problem there.
On a scale of -10 to +10, where -10 is totally biased to the left, and +10
is totally biased to the right, I place CNN at about a -3, and FOX at about
a +9.

Yes, I'd say the only real difference between Howard Stern and Sean Hannity
is that Hannity's programming is sophisticated enough to appeal to high
school graduates. He's like Newt Gingrich on steroids.
