They have all publicly criticized the Presisdent in times of wrong, and also publicly praised members of political parties opposite their own as well. This is in complete contrast to AirHead America, a media group whose sole objective is to belittle any and all opposing views in as ignorant a way as possible. I personall don't care for Bill O'Reilly. I hear that he is not a nice man in person and we differ on some key issues. He was also exposed by Al Franken (of all people) to be a liar, not that he's the only liar in the world, but he was publicly exposed nonetheless.

Uh yeah sure, I listen to a couple local radio guys: Micheal Grahm, Jay Sevrin, and Greg Hill (who does rock radio but he constantly brings up political issues and is always setting up the liberal to fail on his show)
The two national ones I listen to are O'Reilly and Laura Ingraham.
I can see why you'd have differing opinions with O'Reilly, because as I said before, he doesn't really tow the party line. It seems that the conservative media is in lock step with one another in every scandel period.
What sealed the deal for me was the other day one of the local guys was like "You know to his credit, and I hate to say this because I hate giving democrats credit for anything, but Obama has not been playing the race issue at all" This of course was prompted by a callers comment, but the idea that you wouldn't give someone credit on party affiliation is insane. I've never not given a republican credit when it was deserved. I don't know it pissed me off to no end.
