I'm not sure why anyone would even go on O'Reilly's show anymore. Even if you do try to argue or, god forbid, point out where he's wrong or biased, he just talks over you. And his uneducated right wing audience thinks he's won the debate because he's louder.
And because I'm going to get flak for that last comment...
'"Daily Show" viewers are 78 percent more likely than the average adult to have four or more years of college education, while O'Reilly's audience is only 24 percent more likely to have that much schooling.'
That's a HUGE gap.

Sorry man ... the ratings just don't add up to a simple stereotypical audience for O'Reilly or Fox News.
If you're pulling in 3 to 5 times the audience of the competing CNN show at that time slot it just doesn't equate that this entire audience is a bunch of gun carrying, union jack flapping inbreds.
