That would be something.
I still think you fail to see my point.
I know the guy's a blowhard, and he can grate on me as well. He's on side in my mind some of the time and without a paddle the rest (hence my 60% figuere, though once again that's a number as a guess, I haven't researched it - I think you challenged my 20% number in a different topic).
But a number like that is likely true of a lot of stuff I watch and read from many sources with O'Reilly only offered up because Lanny likes to toss it out at me once a month around the calendar.
Either way have you ever noticed that no where in the massive Chomsky debate did I ever question anyone's intelligence or sanity for reading Chomsky, just that he shouldn't be used as THE source or only source.
If someone suggested to me that I shouldn't use O'Reilly as my only source for news they'd be right on.

No, I see your point all too well. Relying on Bill O'Reilly for any portion of your 'news' is laughable. Watching his tv show or listening to his radio show for anything other than a laugh reflects poorly on your reasoning abilities. He has no credibility, this should be plainly obvious to anyone who doesn't use wetback as part of their daily parlance.
I noticed you didn't say chomsky was wrong or unintelligent in the previous thread. At the risk of derailing this one, I also noticed that you did nothing to reference any of your preconceived notions as to why he shouldn't be 'the' or 'a' valid source on the matter being discussed, instead prefering to dodge and weave criticisms of your viewpoint while reiterating your same, tired position.

last minute plane ticket purchases for the busiest air route in the world
in the very same string you pound down a 4000 killed number because of a less than capacity argument but then go on to suggest it's air born rush hour!

So are you saying that the transatlantic flight route is not the busiest in the world or that your previous post was incorrect and there were more than 10 flights involved in this 'plot'?
I don't see how my post is in any way contradictory.
