O'Reilly...Still Undecided and Self Important

For weeks now, O'Reilly has been confirming his 'moderateness' by bragging about being 'undecided' and decrying 'Right-wing radio'. Tonite he did 60 Minutes, or maybe they did him!

For some reason, O'Reilly has a problem with Rush Limbaugh. Maybe it's because he thought he was going to take over talk radio when he strutted onto the scene soon after Rush went deaf. O'Reilly hasn't done that great on the radio. He insists on being in the middle and eschews 'Right Wing radio', which, in talk radio speak, is Rush Limbaugh. Last week Laura Ingraham rightly gave O'Reilly hell about the 'right-wing' comment, but I don't think it really 'took'. Tonite on 60 Minutes, O'Reilly said,

"I respect Limbaugh for basically making a success out of himself and putting on an entertaining program. But he's not a primary source of information, or shouldn't be," says O'Reilly. "He's an entertainer. I'm a journalist who provides a program that is entertaining."

Correction, Bill; Rush is a primary source of information as well as an entertainer and you're a journalist who has a radio program.
