Why are you giving Bill O'Reilly the benefit of the doubt, he's a ghoul

I don't really think this is a fair question no matter how you look at something or what you support.

The question he is asking is fair and this commenter genuinely once an answer to avoid the assumption which and then spin into misinformation about a subject.

It's not about giving benefit of the doubt its about asking for a valid claim. I don't support book banning and I hate this guy but I also hate Trump but I wouldn't want the current case to something of the opposite stance based on the way you are thinking.

Imagine if Trump was not given the benefit of the doubt and we got something factually wrong about his case. That creates room for an appeal. Same goes if Biden was on that stand.

Asking for something to support a claim is asking for something to support a fact not an opinion. The commenter is well within their rights to ask for information to support a claim not giving Bill the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for putting it much more kindly and eloquently than I can.

If the question is "do you like O'Reilly" the answer is "no."

But the question is "do the facts support this current outrage against him" and, as far as I can tell, the answer is also "no."

You are basically arguing that the facts don't matter. I don't work this way, even when it comes to those I dislike.

I fully agree he's a ghoul. It is important however to be intellectually honest and morally consistent, lest we sink to the level of people like Fucker Carlson and Shill O'Reilly. Okay, maybe I'll sink a little sometimes...

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster."

Leftism is skepticism

You should be skeptical about O’Reilly having a decent, coherent thought.

Principles go right out the window when you dislike someone, eh?
