I was watch O'Reilly the other night, he had on a guest who had written about this, and Bill quickly went into what a fine Man King was. Scared he was going to get mail I guess.!
No, that's just O'Reilly being O'Reilly. Pretending to be non-partisan. Imagining that he is the wisest person in any encounter.
The truth about O'Reilly is that he knows just enough about most subjects that he feels confident to carry on as if he is an expert. Ask yourself how many times O'Reilly has ever confessed to not being an absolute expert on ANY topic. I can't remember it ever happening. I have seen him carry on numerous times bluffing his way through his ignorance on a subject. He will have an actual expert about a given subject as a guest on his show and then contradict them, talk over them and even try to ridicule them about that subject.
The bottom line is that he doesn't know very much about
this part of King's personal history so he fakes it by saying something that, to him, sounds safe and wise: that King was a fine man. The expert guest sez King was a perverted sex addict and O'Reilly contradicts as if he knew him personally and was there at the time. I see it all the time. "Annoying" doesn't begin to describe O'Reilly.
