1. The videp clip of the Daily Show in this thread

was the most I have ever seen of Bill O'Lielly. Obviously I never watched him. He won't be missed, at least by me.

2. I thought he did a thorough job, managed to hit all the lowest points

I've seen several of these before, but they weren't from tuning in. I don't know what channel FOX News is here and I don't need to, what I see on MSNBC, The Daily Show, Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert is more than enough...

3. It's a sad commentary on America that O"lielly was the highest rated news show on cable

and he wasn't even a news show.

4. From what I've seen, I can't imagine anyone sitting through it without wanting to throw something at

The TV. He is such an angry POS and does nothing but spew hate. If people tune in regularly, no wonder there are so many RWers! But I sure couldn't do it!

And I can remember back when Jon Stewart was on hearing that many people, especially younger folks, got their news from The Daily Show. That's certainly not as bad as anything FOX News spews out, but it's a sad commentary on either the news outlets or the population. The days of "Uncle Walter" are long over...

6. "It's a sad commentary on America that O"lielly was the highest rated news show on cable"

That's why Trump voters are so ill-informed, frightened, and angry. They get their "news" and their "facts" from O'Leilly and the rest of the right wing talk gang of thugs.

5. Bill was one of the reasons so many white men are angry and afraid.

This was intentional of Fox's part. It set the stage for the hyper-partisanship because they would not and could not compromise on anything.

8. Huh?

9. Lol

Gotta hand it to Trevor Noah, this was the best 'tribute" I've seen to the passing of O'Reilly yet!
