He's made "Bill OReilly" into a character loosely based on the real Bill OReilly.
I remember when his show first came on. It was kinda boring. A middle aged non-descript guy talking about stuff.
Then one day he got pissed at a U.S. Senator who was on the show and called the guy out on a blatant lie. I couldn't believe it! It was great! I'd never seen anyone have the balls to do that.
That's when the ratings started to go up and up and up.
But it was impossible to LEGITIMATELY do that every night.
So now...OReilly is just a character he has created who is outraged at EVERYTHING. I can't stand to watch the show anymore. It's just ridiculous now.
He's "outraged" at every little thing. He runs over every guest. Screaming and carrying on over nothing.
And I don't think he believes one bit of it. It's all about ratings.
