Rush, Sean & Bill ...their credentials

As far as I can find Rush & Sean have no degree in anything. They have no credentials for being the talking head pundits they are

Bill have a MA from Harvard in Public Policy from 1995?

quote.....
In 1995, O'Reilly was replaced by former NBC News and CBS News anchor Deborah Norville on Inside Edition and enrolled at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where he received a Master's Degree in Public Administration
end quote......

9. Why do you think it matters?

Not sure how having a BA would impact how a talking head does what they do. IMO they all pander to their audience somewhat.

I've read the study that said the more educated you are the more likely you are to be liberal, but that is only a generality. I am also not convinced that a BA is the same differentiator between people it once was, since they seem to be getting easier to get as time goes on from an ever increasing number of schools.

5. Let's not forget

they all have great military backgrounds also. Bill says he was in combat,can't remember the circumstances I was laughing so hard, Rush has been on a ship, I think it was, maybe it was a tugboat to haul his big butt around, and Sean........well he must have done something military in his illustrious career.

7. I'm Sure Hannity Had Something Military...

I'm sure that the Hannity lad had something military in his youth--a bag of plastic toy soldiers of the sort you can still buy at some of the dime stores. Other than that, I don't believe that he EVER served in the US armed services.
