Is O'Reilly's radio show phony?

[anti_shrub]

I was wondering, how can O'Reilly's show feature callers when its aired at different times across the country?

Today, they aired the second hour of his show first, which prompted me to check his website to see if perhaps it was some kind of high-concept April Fools joke. Instead I saw that it airs at different times in different states.

It makes me wonder, are his callers phony?

1. there is almost

nothing real about his show.

2. well, he's a phony...

so it would stand to reason, that his show is also phony.

3. I would guess you just have to call in when the show is being taped

:shrug:

4. When his radio show first debuted, they had to PAY stations

to even carry it.. Word leaked out and he was soooooo pissed..:)

5. He freaked out today

G. Gordon Liddy was on some MSNBC show and called O'Reilly's radio show a flop and poor widdle Bill must have went through several pairs of Huggies over it. He claimed that Westwood One sent Liddy a letter asking him to correct himself and he refused, so therefore he's a "bomb thrower". And we all know Billo would *never* throw a tantrum and make an employer do something foolish....

6. phoniness indeed

the thing about oreily is if he was just talking to himself he would sound somewhat convincing. the fact is when someone outsmarts him and makes him look like an idiot he automatically turns off his/her mic and then changes the subject. it is quite cowardice of him not to fess up to his own short comings.
