  funny. even the NPR ombudsman said gross was unfair and combative during the entire interview...and that she gave franken a complete pass. he also said that she violated journalistic ethics in the way she ended the piece, by reading from the review after o'reilly had left (which he should have done earlier), a big no-no in journalism...since the person has no way to defend or answer to the piece.
  
  those who are slamming o'reilly just need to admit that they are extreme liberal and just plain hate o'reilly...and that's the sole reason they're slamming him on this.
  
  calling him an asshole and a bully is not only nonsense (tough somehow suddenly means bully?)...it's childish. then, we have the people trying to claim- he's a right winger, which is also nonsense. a right-winger doesn't call for the resignation of tenet...a right-winger isn't critical of the president, demands to know what was with the WMD issue (and why none have been found). right wingers don't usually support the legalization of marijuana (o'reilly does). right wingers don't usually oppose the death penalty. so, sad for most of you guys- the labels don't fit, and you only use them because he's fair and not a LEFT winger.

  OK - Thank you for your comments 'Bill' - I happened to listen to the ENTIRE radio interview, as well as the Book Expo hissy-fit and I also tossed in the Jeremy Glick interview for good measure. The difference betwn Bill Oreilly and Al Franken, is Al is generally a nice guy and Bill is a first rate lying prick who can't handle it when he gets NAILED lying. Bill Oreilly plays fast and loose with his 'facts', and nobody can call him on it - EVER - except Al Franken. Bill needs to hook up with Rush Limbaugh and get some nice drugs

  O'reilly is a brainless moron. Nothing more need be said. He, Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge when dead will be exhumed just so some can stone them to death all over again.
  
  O'reilly has set views. He preaches his set views on a news network called Fox. If you do not fall under his concept of what is right. You deserve no respect. Anyone who quotes O'reilly as some form of authority on anything has severe mental problems. The bad news is that he is somewhat of a public figure that has taken the opportunity to infiltrate American Psyche instead of an isolated ugly bastard washing cars for a living.
  
  The good news is that on a global scale, in the broad span of things..HE IS A NOBODY. He might not even be a household name in his own household. The reason he has a chip on his shoulder and is so miserable and bitter is that no matter how hard he tries, no matter how much he deludes himself, no matter what he says about the "values" of the world today..The simple fact and truth is that whether Angelina Jolie is having off screen sex sessions with Brad pitt:) is of more world interest than what Mr Bill O'reilly has to say. This is because not many know who he is and the few of us outside America who know him as the idiot on Fox don't hold give him any significance. There can't be anything worse than knowing that your whole life is a waste. That I fear is a realisation that Mr O'reilly came to, slwoly but surely. Now, the American public and Fox news viewers have to pay and be tortured for his misfortune.

  Hey! Did you here the Justice dept. prosecuter on freash air? Terry seemed astonished! I think the morality question recently(today) in the media is going to come to a head this pentagon budget cycle. Terry had the spokesperson for a religious fundamentalist white house spokesman, who was the most misogynistic charector ever played on whyy. Maybe that is why Terry had Chong on the show tonight. A base to neutralize last week show's H+ ion.
