There's a difference, though: Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh make fools of
themselves, virtually unassisted. Moore invites his targets to make fools of
themselves, and they almost invariably comply. You may not like the tactics
Moore uses to expose his fools, but they're fools nevertheless.

I see O'Reilly as basically a catholic biased neocon, with touches of
socialism thrown in. He has no problem with initiating force against the
people of his choice.
