Bill O'Reilly interview turns out to be an intra-view instead

Mr. No Spin Zone himself seemed to spin out of control

Bill O'Reilly must have been relishing his chance to interview President Obama for quite a while. He finally got his chance to do so on Superbowl Sunday and he came off looking pretty ridiculous. This is the second time that a fox interviewer (I won't call them journalists) has been rather rude to the President. Last year, it was Brett Biere or something, I forget his name. That guy kept interrupting Obama too but not nearly to the extent that Bill O'Reilly did. According to Lawrence O'Donnel's show, bully Bill interrupted the President more than 60 times. It is for that reason, that I say that O'Reilly was wrapped up in a one-way intraview, with the President given a chance to speak seemingly only  while O'Reilly caught his breath.

To add insult to his own injury, O'Reilly had almost sworn that his interview with Obama would be the most watched in the history of mankind. Not even close, he was only 57 million viewers short of Baba Wawa's interview with the notorious Monica Lewinsky. So much for Mr. superego.

  2. I agree 100 percent, and sad to say that he's got high ratings thanks to Tom and the teaparty. Thanks for reading & commenting.

  4. I don't get it. How is Fox any different from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and the liberal spin they've been putting on the news for years? The majority of the so called journalists on these stations are professed liberals and it shows in their reporting. We haven't seen true unbiased journalists in decades.

  5. I agree that most human beings have some internal bias. However, I remember watching Britt Hume(FOX) on the night Obama was elected... I actually thought he was going to burst into tears. I primarily watch CNN because they have the most reporters in the most places. The last time I heard even during Republican administrations CNN is on in the White House and CIA because of their "breaking news" capabilities. Right now I am watching CNN and they are covering Egypt by having reporters in the crowd. When I turn to Fox Glenn (Buy-gold-the apocalypse is coming) Beck is just making comments about the situation... to each his own,

  6. Well, I am a loyal Fox viewer, and even I agree Beck is way over the top. I read somewhere that his viewership is way down. I think Fox needs to drop him...
