Right-winger Bill "shut up shut up" O'Rudelly sez how powerful he is and whines. |
"The far left has a jihad against Fox News Channel, and I'm pretty
much the standard-bearer," O'Reilly said.
"They don't like the fact that I'm powerful and that I speak my mind."

O'Reilly tells why he walked out on NPR's 'Fresh Air'
By Michael Klein
Inquirer Staff Writer
Media pundit Bill O'Reilly said he doubted from the start that
National Public Radio, which has mostly avoided him and his books,
would treat him fairly on the air.
So why did the author and Fox News Channel personality agree to be a
guest last week on NPR's Fresh Air, then walk out after 40 minutes,
complaining that host Terry Gross wasn't treating him fairly?
It was an experiment, O'Reilly said yesterday - though he asserts that
he didn't plan from the outset to bolt.
"I put myself through the ordeal to get definitive proof of what NPR
is," said the conservative-leaning populist.
"I don't have any problem with NPR or Terry Gross. I do have a problem
with [tax dollars] paying for propaganda.
"It's not a monolithic left-wing bias," O'Reilly said of the federally
subsidized radio network.
But it fosters "individual fiefdoms which seize upon... opportunities
to denigrate people they don't agree with."
Gross, who is based at WHYY-FM (90.9) in Philadelphia, said yesterday
that she had no agenda or bias beyond getting inside the commentator's
head.
"I wanted to ask a mix of things," Gross said.
"I also planned to ask him challenging questions about his use of
power."
Among O'Reilly's contentions was that Gross gave Al Franken - who
attacks O'Reilly in his new book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell
Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right - an easier time in a
recent interview and didn't question Franken's generalizations.
Gross described Franken as a satirist.
O'Reilly and Franken are "not mirror images of each other," she said
yesterday.
O'Reilly said Broadway Books, which published his new best-seller
Who's Looking Out for You?, asked him to go on Fresh Air.
"I told Broadway that this was going to be a hatchet job," said
O'Reilly, host of a syndicated radio show as well as a nighttime show
on Fox News.
"I said flat out... 'I go on, they're going to demean the product, the
book, and they're going to do anything to denigrate me and make me
look foolish.' "
Why would he think that?
"The far left has a jihad against Fox News Channel, and I'm pretty
much the standard-bearer," O'Reilly said.
"They don't like the fact that I'm powerful and that I speak my mind."
O'Reilly acknowledges that Fox News is right of center.
And though NPR is often characterized as liberal, a Pew Research
Center survey found last year that the network's audience spans the
ideological spectrum.
WHYY-FM (90.9) and O'Reilly both put the interview on their Web sites.
O'Reilly says his site received 750,000 hits after he mentioned it on
his TV show.
Gross, excoriated by O'Reilly on his shows, said WHYY received about
4,000 e-mails, showing a mix of opinion.

OReilly does seem to have a really thin skin when it comes to Frankin, I
wonder why? Other's whom Frankin has directed his wit at seem able to move on,
but Billl just can't for whatever reason manage to do so.
Gross described Franken as a satirist.
O'Reilly and Franken are "not mirror images of each other," she said

O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and Hannity can't debate someone face to face and can't keep
their facts straight. They get mean and nasty when someone makes them look stupid.

So interesting how you never see these kind of people in public. Why?
Because they are scared and always looking over their shoulder.
