In this clip, Bill O'Reilly is opening his show, as he always does with the "Talking Points" segment. The clip shows Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at a union rally in Pittsburgh talking to steelworkers about ways to make life more fair in the United States. O'Reilly proposes that many of the things that Pelosi is saying are fundamental ideas of socialism.
Although O'Reilly claims that his show is independent and fair, I think that it definitly leans a little to the right. O'Reilly almost always sides witht the right on the various issues he discusses and it is rare when he says anything positive about the left. I think the show is certainly opinion based. The show reports on daily news stories but not in the manner of a typical evening news show (e.g. CBS evening news, NBC evening news, etc.) Almost everytime O'Reilly presents a news story, he will have a panel analyze the story and give their opinions, so it is an opinion based show. Overall, I like Bill O'Reilly. He is well spoken and tells it like it is. He doesn't sugar coat anything and he says what he wants to say. I think he does a great job in regards to keeping the viewer interested in the program. His show is setup in different segments so it keeps the audience entertained and engaged.
