Fox news anchor Bill O’Reilly slammed Monday’s night presidential debate as boring, before proclaiming that ‘nobody won’.

Speaking on Fox News' morning program on Tuesday, O’Reilly offered his analysis of the final debate which was hosted by CBS News' Bob Schieffer.

“Nobody won," O'Reilly said gloomily. "It was boring, so boring. It was the most boring debate I've ever seen...I think the American people were the real losers.”

The right-wing commentator said he thought voters got nothing out of the debate: “Did you learn anything?" he asked the Fox News hosts? "Did you learn anything about the world and your country?”

He added: “Nobody learned anything, so why are we doing this?"

He also criticized Romney for doing ‘nothing’ during the final debate, attributing his muted performance as an attempt to lure female voters.

O'Reilly can't handle the fact that Romney got his ass handed to him by Obama. Mitt The Shitt was completely docile by the end. He may as well have just laid on the floor.

Who relies on any talking head or other end for evaluations of debates. Those who saw, heard and think are very capable of deciding the facts without spin sick doctors of any bent

Allentown - you got it right. Obama came across as his truly condescending, nasty self. Nobody loves BHO more than BHO, except IC of course.

O'Reilly offered a second analysis of Romney's strategy to not be aggressive and confrontational, because young women voters don't like it. As A.B. Hill said, Obama was so aggressive and confrontational, he was obnoxious.

O'Reilly's take on the debate is a euphemism for a Romney loss and he (O'Reilly) just hasn't got the grace to say Romney lost.

Bill O'Reilly is "Boring", so why should he characterize the debates the same way. He is so into himself and feels anyone who doesn't agree with him is beneath him.

the romney parroting of whatever obama said was disturbing to this human Big Bird fella - another Lurch, like himself.

Bill got that right. Voters can choose between Tweedledumb and Tweedledevious for president - but it is mainly an exercise in futility. The only votes that matter are for Congress and state positions where it is important to vote against incumbents. They're the ones who got us in this mess.

Had Mitt Romney clearly won the debate instead of President Obama, O'Reilly would have said that the debate kept him on the edge of his seat.
