1. They are both liars..


Hannity is more on message with his lies, and a lot of right wingers see through bill's crap so I would say Hannity is "worse"

2. I give O'Reilley the edge because he's actually got the
potential to go on a murder spree.

I honestly think Bill O'Reilley is the most mentally unbalanced man on television. Hell, in the media, period. He's that weird.

Al Franken should buy a dog.

3. O'Really is worse
(Ins)Hannity is at least up front about his partisanship, while O'Really touts his independence.

10. I think he is so stupid...
...he relys on his producers more than O'Reily does...
Sean is not a bright boy...Billy is much brighter, with the ego to match. Yet, I think Sean is more dangerous in the same way B* is so dangerous; MoranAmericans don't ever think he's talking down to them. And there are alot of stupid people out there.

9. O'Reilly is Far Worse !

O'Reilly is far worse than Hannity because O'Reilly lies about being a
fair and balanced objective journalist. He also lies about being a republican,
this is far worse than Hannity.

With Hannity you know he is a republican and you know he is a partisan,
O'Reilly puts out a fraud on the people by claiming to be an independent
fair and balanced objective journalist with a no-spin zone.

I grant you that Hannity is a far bigger right-wing idiot than O'Reilly. But you
know where Hannity is coming from, you can take what he says with a grain
of salt and weigh it knowing he is a partisan right-wing hack.

Some people fall for the O'Reilly spin and lies and actually think he is what he says
he is, that makes O'Reilly far worse than Hannity.

12. Stewart, you speak for me on this.
Bill O. actually has some (inflated and dubious) creds and a longer history in broadcasting. And he panders just enough to our country's uninformed middle, that some of them buy his shit. He makes them feel that they are watching a real live journalist. It's just that he's not beholden to the LIEberal media, and thus is the REAL TRUTH.

Sean H., on the other hand, is an obvious whacko, right out there in front of (fill in the blank) and everybody. Even the uninitiated find out quickly just what it is they're getting. And, if that's what they want, at least (I am hopeful) they're not fooling themselves that the man is any kind of a "journalist".

My opinion. They're both scum, just Bill is more stealth. And I think that makes him worse, and more dangerous.

11. O'Reilly is much worse than Hannity.
Hannity is obviously mentally deficient. He argues like he has had one too many hits to the head. I can imagine Hannity trying to bumble his way through an argument like a school yard bully.

Hannity may be a thug, but O'Reilly is a psychopath. Hannity is dumb enough to think he's won a debate when he hasn't, but O'Reilly physically threatens people that intimidate his fragile little ego. {Shooting Al Franken, etc}.
