I love Bill O'Reilly

He reminds me of my Dad.

I love what he has to say about the media and their reporting of celebrity drug abuse.

Unfortunately - i had to let the world know that i watch Fox News in order to share it!

Bummer. ;)

Don't know what there is to love about a guy that just opens his mouth and let's words fall out , and then raises his voice to shout down everyone else's opinion .
Seriously it's hard to listen to his wrongness let alone love it .
My opinion , sorry .
None so blind as tosses like him .

Did you actually take the time to listen to his view on the media and drug abuse?

What did you disagree with?

I think your brain is pickled.

The United States is a lucrative market for illegal drugs. The United Nations estimates that nearly 90% of cocaine sold in the United States originates in South America and is smuggled through Mexico.

Mexico is the largest foreign supplier of marijuana and the second largest source of heroin for the U.S. market.

The majority of methamphetamine sold in the United States is made in Mexico, and Mexican-run methamphetamine labs that operate north of the border account for much of the remainder.

Statistics also indicate that 116 million vehicles cross the US-Mexico border annually.

Are you forgetting that Bill is American?

And who cares if he got the percentage number wrong re the child abuse statistics? Are you saying that a parent abusing illicit drugs is a good thing for a child? Does it make for a healthy family environment?

In America - among confirmed cases of child maltreatment, 40% involve the use of alcohol or other drugs. This suggests that of the 1.2 million confirmed victims of child maltreatment, an estimated 480,000 children are mistreated each year by a caretaker with alcohol or other drug problems. Additionally, research suggests that alcohol and other drug problems are factors in a majority of cases of emotional abuse and neglect. In fact, neglect is the major reason that children are removed from a home in which parents have alcohol or other drug problems. Children in these homes suffer from a variety of physical, mental, and emotional health problems at a greater rate than children in the general population. Children of alcoholics suffer more injuries and poisonings than children in the general population. Alcohol and other substances may act as disinhibitors, lessening impulse control and allowing parents to behave abusively. Children in this environment often demonstrate behavioural problems and are diagnosed as having conduct disorders. This may result in provocative behavior. Increased stress resulting from preoccupation with drugs on the part of the parent combined with behavioral problems exhibited by the child adds to the likelihood of maltreatment.

What Bill said is true. Most drug users abuse their children in some form - even if it is just neglect.

Does that sit well with you?

Granted ,my comment on Bills brain being pickled was unwarranted .
Je suis desole
Frustration at his broad all incompassing statements .
Was he trying to be insulting ,or is he just off the mark as doesn't know.
His figures and arguments are swayed and without substance ,and therefore i could just as easily say he is a substance abuser.
His rants about the press being the problem,or in some way responsible for Whitney Hs death seem a little sweeping and not part of any path to a solution ,to all man kinds substance abuse problems .
Where does the man advocate for people to show restraint ,and not get into a frenzy ,rather show compassion and humility for people their lives and issues .
Hard to imagine him taking that line
The children are victims always in unbalanced volatile home life ,and I,can't see how grandstanding a out another fallen star helps .
The guy is a George bush like character, all ego and no substance .i understand he is American ,but he is not like all Americans ,
We are not perfect
