Well, we'll see.  I do think O'Reilly is aggressive.  He yells a lot, 
interrupts his guests, makes angry (and false) claims against them, etc.

Check him out here yelling at Al Franken:

What I read is that Al Franken had talked for 20 minutes and 7 seconds 
instead of the scheduled 15 minutes, but O'Reilly said he went on for 35 
minutes.

Here he is yelling at Phil Donahue:
