Review of The Factor

The Factor (1996–2017)
10/10
Breath of fresh air for cable news
28 January 2007
After reading another comment posted about this show I had to laugh. This show is just the type of thing that needs to be aired on cable television because instead of putting a (generally left) spin on various subjects and news items, it covers some of the most outrageous news items going on around the country and each item is analyzed by people who represent conservative and liberal points of view. I've seen just as many liberals as conservatives on this show, and thus labeling O'Reilly a conservative because of his viewpoints on certain matters is premature to say the least. I've seen him be critical of both Republicans & Democrats. He's what one would consider a traditionalist, and since many of his viewpoints are shared by conservatives, people think he's a far-right Republican lapdog and this is simply not the case. When you watch this show you will hear viewpoints from both sides on an issue as well as O'Reilly's personal views. If you don't consider yourself a traditionalist, then you probably won't like what he has to say, but if you're just a liberal then you're not necessarily someone he would disagree with. I highly recommend this show to anyone who wants a fresh take on the news items of the day as it provides interesting if somewhat heated debates on some issues that other news shows and networks wouldn't dare tackle for fear of offending people....

If you choose not to watch it because you think you know who O'Reilly really is then you likely have no clue at all....
