Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is both America's favorite and least favorite political journalist. Five percent of respondents to a Pew Research Center post-election survey named O'Reilly as their favorite political news personality, while six percent singled him out as the one they liked least -- the highest percentage in both categories. This isn't a huge surprise, considering the ratings for "The O'Reilly Factor" consistently lead the cable news pack.
Keith Olbermann and Sean Hannity also ranked high on both lists, but the real story may be that, despite paying more attention to this election than any other in the last 20 years, half of all Americans say they don't have a most or least favorite political journalist.
Needless to say, our policy is to take no official stance on O'Reilly, unless another one of his amazing profanity-laced meltdowns is leaked.
Check out the full list of America's most loved and loathed on the nightly news in the gallery below.

It absolutely amazes me and disturbs me when I see such hateful and immature comments towards Bill O'Reilly but then that is indicative of obvious ignorance and very low intellect.

Bill O'Reilly - I watch and listen to you every night. You are the best. Those people you give a tongue lashing to deserve it. I am standing by you. Continue to give us the straight talk. Thank You.

Put me in the Love Bill no spin zone junkie. Most of the people that HATE Bill and FOX news in general are folks that have NEVER watched Bill or anyone else on Fox. I will take FOX any day of the week over CBS,NBC, ABC, CNN, or that silly mess called MSNBC.

O'Reilly is a paranoid idiot...when his ratings go down, he blames Neilson "something is going on over at Neilson because my ratings are down and that just isn't so". He's an egomaniacal hot head
whose favorite phrase is "the far left", you'll notice he never refers to "the far right"...because he's one of them. He's a hypocrite who talks values and then sexually harrasses his female employees and cheats on his wife. This guy may have some of you fooled, but he 'bloviate's' far too much and actually says anything of any worth, far too seldom.

LOL Too funny. His ratings haven't gone down, they continue to go UP. I've tried watching the other news channels, but there are few news shows that I can stand to watch because they are so obviously biased.
In the past, I'd always considered myself to be somewhat liberal. Now the party is being led by nuts and being followed for the most part by a bunch of uneducated lemmings that can't think for themselves and just parrot what they hear coming from the mouth of Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and the other jerks that have put us in the mess we're currently in. (Yes, Frank was telling the country that FreddieMac/FannieMae was just fine and to continue investing in it up to two months prior to the fiasco) I guess having a longterm relationship with the CEO of FreddieMac kinda made him blind to what was going on.

Cheryl - You are the slime ball hate monger. Go back and read what you wrote. If that isn't HATE. If you do not agree with Bill O'Reilly, do not watch him or listen to him. Turn the knob! You silly dummy.

It's amazing how all these people gush over this idiot. You'd think they still wouldn't be hanging on to their "Oh noez!Media is Liberal!" thinking. Fair and Balanced? Don't make me laugh.

O'Reilly is a pseudo intellectual demogogue, and is responsible for much of the divisiveness in our country. His ratings are more important than promoting civility and unity. Few remember that he bought his way out of a sexual harrassment case. A classic phony!

You failed to mention that this alleged sexual harrassment suit was by a Democrat producer who was very active in the democratic party and Bill paid her off to shut her up.The divisiveness in this country is from disinformation specialists like yourself who are from the alleged party of tolerance but tolerate no one unless they are far left liberals.

I like Bill OReilly but I love Sean Hannity who has the most guts of all the journalists. He is the only one who is doing his job presenting the FACTS to the American people. The mainstream media did a HUGE disservice to us all by covering up for Obama and making him look harmless. Look out in the next 4 years!!

O'Reilly is not anywhere near the hate mongerer that Hannity and Limbaugh are. I hope the new administration invokes the Patriot Act and determines these other two are causing civil unrest and dissent and they are doing it for greed and power. Since they don't wear uniforms, maybe they can be considered enemies of the state and "Enemy Combatants". The weather at Guantanimo is nice this time of year.

If you want on sided bashing and indoctrination along with narrow thinking coupled with hate, watch any MSM news show especially MSNBC or for you cows at home, watch the cackling hens on the view. If you want to learn the facts, watch Bill.

The SOCIALIST NAZI'S that have had their way on the airwaves for DECADES are wanting to destroy O'Reilly because consevatives finally have a VOICE! THAT'S WHY THEY ATTACK HIM!
Even though O'Reilly doesn't always take a strong enough stance against LYING SOCIALIST RATS like billy mahahaher & keef oboyolbermann and most of the RULING democorrupt ELITIST politicians, he still is one of the few spokesman on the conservative side!

I'd be happy if they'd put O'Reilly and Olberman in a cage and let them fight till death, er two deaths. Of course Fox and NBC love em worth new multimillion dollar contracts for four more years.
And Olberman as a football commentator? Did you notice how the guys on the NBC football pre- and half-time shows "group" away from him and ignore him? They don't like him either! (Pay close attention, next time.) When it comes to football, Olberman comes off as a conceited, egocentric jerk.

You must be something other than a white person the reason I say that is because if a white person says anything about another race then he or she is a racist but let another race say something about a white person then that must be free speach.

Bill O'Reilly has the courage to tell it like it is... I loved his face off with Barney Franke. Dennis Miller is a hoot... his political satire is a great balance to Bill's seriousness. The whole program is well put together, fair and balanced. Anyone that says otherwise hasn't watched objectively.
