LOL.
O'Reilly Unloads On 'Weasel,' 'Beneath Contempt' WaPo Columnist Dana Milbank :
But O'Reilly hasn't responded well to even the faintest criticism of his interview. On Tuesday, he blasted the Associated Press for its characterization of the interview.
"The Associated Press, their headline of the interview was: President Obama Defends Himself from Republican Charges,'" O'Reilly said on "Fox and Friends." "These aren't questions that all Americans should be interested in? No. Just Republicans should be."
Obama himself made note of O'Reilly's choice of questions, arguing that Fox's top host is "absolutely" unfair in his coverage.

(70,645 posts)Both of them are TRUMP-level self-promoters, all craving legitimacy and respect. O'LOOFAH is so self-deluded that it's at an incredible level. He claims to be "a war correspondent" (Falkland Islands). At CBS he claims he did all the work on a HUGH!1 story but the network flew in Bob SCHIEFFER to "bigfoot" him (taking the air/face time away from him). He's a 1950s White Catholic hung-up male who verbally and emotionally abuses others. His attack-rhetoric is pathetic: "cowards ... beneath contempt ... " He hates us internetters.

(11,903 posts)she has "street smarts." PBO thought he could bring unity. Peeps on that side do not know the difference between kindness and hate, therefore you cannot sway them. That was coming from Michelle.
That's when PBO "took off the gloves"...IMO

(10,494 posts)coverage of made up controversies was unfair and wrong. He basically called bull shit to them all. Also, Bill is so obnoxious that he plays well only to dedicated RW nuts. The "Independants" were hopefully turned off by his lack of respect for the office, much less President Obama. Hopefully he gave some cover for a Democrats running for office vs. Obamacare. So what if the right got to see O'Reilly confront the President on their BS agenda.

(296,848 posts)The constant interruptions, the buzzwords (nanny state, self-reliance guy) are all designed to rattle the interviewee and take him off his game. And it usually works. But Obama just sat there and smiled at the asshole and occasionally batted his barbs right back at him.
O'Reilly came off looking not like a bully, just a wannabe tough guy who lacked the cojones to pull it off. The interview exposed how pitiful he actually is and he's angry that people have caught on."

"He[o'reilly] made a fool of himself and the Republican party in front of a much larger audience
Than what he's used to. Needless to say the criticism of him has been greater, and from more reputable sources than what he's used to as well. It's the choice he made. I fail to see why he's so upset by the outcome".

MUST WATCH! Obama Exposes Fox News Bias in Contentious OReilly Interview (Video0
"One of the perks that the network airing the Super Bowl gets each year is the honor of conducting a pre-game interview with the president. And this year, it so happened to be the Fox network, with testy, overbearing Bill OReilly doing the interviewing, setting the stage for an interview that made for better television than the actual blowout of a game did."
snip//
OReilly: Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world Benghazi was a terror attack because your campaign didnt want that out. Thats what they believe.
They believe it because folks like you are telling them that, Obama said. These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them, he said.
Touchdown, Obama!

Unfortunately, most of their supporters are hopeless. There will be plenty of people stroking O'Lielly's ego over this.

(182,614 posts)He has one of each.
Why are reporters interviewed by other reporters anyway? Usually it is cheaper but in this case BillO was desperate to tell people what they had seen and, of course, to play victim AND declare victory at the same time.

(5,842 posts)there would be about 30 minutes of dead air on those one hour programs. They can't get anyone but their fellow lemmings to appear on their shows so they have to interview each other.
