Your point about ad revenues is not without merit. I do, however, have a sneaky feeling that if this was Kieth Olbermann in a similar situation, you would be no where near as understanding.

Yep. Cuban is being silly as well.
Personally, I could care less what sponsors appear on Olbermann or any of the others. I could find many things I don't agree with Olbermann about but who sponsors his show is not one of them.
I'm not big on censorship...from left or right. And that seems to be the concept you are having trouble with. I understand that TELEVISION is a business and as such, they do things from a business perspective. I don't hold a talking head to be responsible for the business decision of their network.
If an advertiser offends me for some reason, then I don't use their services. But I would never try to tell anyone, left, right or anywhere else what they can do in THEIR BUSINESS.
Now, produce some evidence that O'Reilly appeared in an advertisement for the movie "Redacted" or that he somehow was behind the scenes financially and I will join you in proclaiming O'Reilly a hypocritical sob.
But, sorry, just because he has a personal problem with the movie, he can't, nor should he be able to, control the advertising on his show.
Its a pretty simple concept to me.
