I like both of them, on radio and TV, but I think O'Reilly is far more annoying. He projects an arrogant smugness, while Hannity comes across more like a guy with whom you sit in a bar for a few hours, figuring out the best way to run the world once someone gives you the keys.
Besides, Hannity's cuter.
A point of view is exactly why they are on the air. They are not news. There is plenty of news out there. They are commentators, not newsmen. You may choose to take their comments wholeheartedly or with a grain of salt.
Most people don't consider the NYT Opinion page to be news. I often wonder why they make the mistake of considering television opinion pieces as news.
