Bill O'Reilly Backs Public Option

Bombastic Fox News host Bill O'Reilly made a rather notable policy pronouncement on Wednesday's show: he supports the creation of a government-managed health care plan if it provides working Americans with an affordable option to other private insurance plans.

In other words, he supports the public option now being hotly debated in Congress.

    • Or maybe he's seeing the backlash against Glenn Beck and is hollowing out his own niche, as a "compassionate conservative?"

      My crazy republican grandfather REFUSES to beleive that he really said this.

      He thinks it was edited somehow to make it look like he said that.

      If that's the case, that is the best edit job I've ever seen.-

    • Could he be softening in his old age? Could it be a ploy to increase ratings with a slightly more moderate audience? Not sure, but it is still nice to hear.

      Pandering is the first thing I thought of as well Cashmere.

      Let's get real, the Tea Parties and marches aren't reaching anyone outside of Fox News' already established fan base of those on the far right.

      2010 isn't looking pretty if they keep up their image of uneducated, automatic weapon toting, rednecks from the South.

    • He also is convinced that there was a conspiracy to kill JFK.

      So there's two things I agree with Bill O'Reilly on.
