I wouldn’t say that people don’t like to hear the truth. Bill O’Reilly, like virtually every other political magazine show host, skews the news or conducts his interviews to promote a specific message. Mathews, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Carville, Begala, Press, Carlson, Novak, and many others are all blatantly polarized reporters who try to fire up their base supporters and try to discredit their opponents using varying tactics. It’s pretty much a necessary precondition to have a stake in your articles or shows to become a political commentator. So, one person’s truth is another person’s quote out of context, or accidental/intentional misstatement of one’s position.
