Obama interviewed by Bill O'Reilly

As you would expect, O'Reilly was pretty aggressive, but neither side truly blew away the other. 

O'Reilly is to news as Pizza Hut is to Pizza.

"O'Reilly is to news as Pizza Hut is to Pizza."

He isn't the most popular guy in the media because he is a complete douche bag working for the least credible TV News Media station out there. Fox News is practically a tabloid, they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. "Terrorist Fist Jab," are you fucking kidding me?!

Fox News is a joke and so is everyone working for it.

Is O'Reilly even relevant any more?

So that's why I like Pizza Hut.

I love Pizza Hut pizza. Bill O'Reilly? not so much...

Pizza Hut is the best pizza I've ever had. Couldn't care less about O'Reilly, though.

On a more serious issue. Really? I've seen taking it for the team, but even if I was a neo-conservative I would rather admit to eating glass than Pizza Hut pizza. Raise the bar for yourself, even in metaphorical analogies you deserve better. :P"

Wait... Did O'Reilly just criticize Obama for by giving a hypothetical answer to a question regarding a future war with Iran?...

...

Dude, you guys need to shut the fuck up. O'rielly is agressive because most of the time, any other interview he does, nobody gets that way with these guys. 

That interview was pathetic, O reilly kept interrupting his answers

"Dude, you guys need to shut the fuck up. O'rielly is agressive because most of the time, any other interview he does, nobody gets that way with these guys. 

and just because they may disagree on anything or argue about anything at all, doesn't mean that o'rielly is a biased scum (most of the time he is but not because of this interview). Obama needs somebody like O'Reilly to get down and serious about the points. 

The fact that he got him to squeal that the surge succeded his wildest dreams amazed me. thats going to hurt him big time, and palin and mccain already have jumped on it.

Bill O'Reilly is a moron. Simple as that.

Eh, he's doing his job. It's the people who take him seriously and actually agree with the character he's playing on TV who are the morons. Or shall I call them "pinheads"?"

That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Bill didn't act like an asshole nearly as bad as I thought he would either.

"He isn't the most popular guy in the media because he is a complete douche bag working for the least credible TV News Media station out there. Fox News is practically a tabloid, they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. "Terrorist Fist Jab," are you fucking kidding me?!

"yeah like cnn is any better they both are biased and both suck but if i had to choose which one to watch it would be fox.  cnn is way to liberal"

agreed, that guy should die for the good of Earth..."

Bill O'Reilly is such a bully, his interview skills are to put fear into you and force answers out of you before you can think of one. Fox News is a joke, seriously!

Well, it's around the time he starts calling his guests "lunatic" and the like, just for having differing opinions, that I get tired of him. He's a douche bag, through and through. I honestly can't say I enjoy anything more than seeing O'Reilly get put in his place, and it happens quite a bit. Phil Donahue, Richard Dawkins, and especially Geraldo Rivera all took him down a notch. I mean, who can forget Stephen Colbert's appearance?

Bill really believes the bullshit he says--else, he wouldn't be writing a new book about the same shit year-in and year-out. Have you ever seen the time when Al Franken shut Bill O'Reilly down? O'Reilly was absolutely furious, and just started screaming, while Franken kept his cool and just kept laying into Bill's bullshit."

I honestly think the interview was pretty fair. O'Reilly kept up the pressure, and Obama handled it just fine. That's a big feather in his cap to my eyes.

You cannot even begin to compare CNN to FOX. Like, that's not even a comparison. CNN is an actual news source. Let's compare: AC360 vs. Bill O'Reilly.

AC360 is an actual news program. There's actual news there. O'Reilly's show is for nothing more than entertainment--when's the last time you learned something from O'Reilly?"

"And anyway, how is O'Reilly, one of the biggest personalities in the world and notoriously straight-up with his interviews, sitting down with Obama not news? "

Please, are you that stupid? Do you ever actually watch CNN? Look, media corporations are what they are and we as citizens should know that all we're looking for from them is facts of newsworthy happenings, and the price we pay for that is sitting through the marketing of their advertisers and the bias of the reporters and general content. With respect to your CNN vs. Fox argument, you need to understand those basic facts and also just look at it rationally; they are both biased agencies, because all news agencies are biased, they have an agenda that supersedes your personal opinions.

I think he was talking about the scope of the bias, as opposed to whether it's there or not, but that's still a very well-written post, if I may say so."

Let's move forward in this discussion without calling one another names, please.

I'm from the UK and we even take jabs at Fox News for its poor work at journalism and reporting the news in an unbias fashion.

What gauge are we using to call the surge a "success" again? 

Because a car bomb in Baghdad killed two people and injured seventeen others earlier today. But hey, at least no American soldiers have died... since last Friday.

Mission accomplished?

Getting back on track here.

I believe Keith Olbermann is interviewing Obama this week... and Olbermann has a man crush on Obama.

The best thing about fox news is their slogan, "Fair and Balanced." You KNOW it is fair and balanced when 20 minutes of Hannity & Colmes is spent mocking Alan Colmes "LOL you are liberal!"

I believe your sarcasm detector is off today. Clearly he would do a better job than you, he already has done better than you in the grammar department. Don't judge him, because you aren't in his shoes.

Read his statement over again, especially the underlined-bolded words."

Fox is definitely biased, but there has to be at least one network out there to balance out Obama Love Fest 08.

I may think Fox News is a giant piece of shit, but there shouldn't be *anybody* calling any show with Anderson Cooper on it a serious news program. That's just hypocrisy.

O'Reilly, at the very least, needs to let Obama answer the question before he asks a follow up. 

"I may think Fox News is a giant piece of shit, but there shouldn't be *anybody* calling any show with Anderson Cooper on it a serious news program. That's just hypocrisy."

Anderson Cooper is also a joke. "Tune in at X:00 and you'll see the greatest interview, ever conducted on television."

AC: So many criticisms against Governor Palin have been her lack of experience. Your thoughts, Senator McCain?

John McCain: They're wrong.

AC: Ok.

"xruntime said:

Eh, I somewhat agree, but as usual, Obama was being a politician and not directly answering O'Reilly's question.  He should have at least let Obama finish answering before calling him out on that, though."

C-span is better than both of them, completely neutral.  I get to make up my mind, spin free.  But if I had to  pick between the two being discussed, I'd go with CNN.  Fox News is all about sensationalism and beating the wardrums to help the Bush administration out with getting people to accept the idea of a war with Iran. (which is about as necessary as the Iraq war was, that is to say, not in the slightest bit)

I think PBS is the best unbiased news there is. It's being criticized for being too liberal, but I don't think that's the case.
