Interesting that Fox has now become Hillary's best friend. White men are at a premium this time around.

The Clinton camp has stated that Fox is the only network that has been balanced in their coverage of her and Obama.

Was there a "winner" in this interview? Come on. It's not a debate. O'Reilly's job (what journalists are supposed to do) is ask hard questions and give the interviewee a chance to answer. The audience then gets to make up it's mind.

It's not O'Reilly's job to start a confrontation, though granted, he often does.

I thought it was a decent performance by Clinton, and it showcased how bad her ideas were. That windfall profits tax is such a boondoggle. And her solution to OPEC was to file a complaint with the WTO? What's next, she going to pull Hugo Chavez's hair? Give me a break.

I don't think the title "journalist" applies to O'Reilly. He is a commenator, and he engages almost every single guest on his show in debate. That is the allure of his program. He is anything but impartial. O'Reilly's job most certainly is, at least in part, to start confrontations. If he didn't do that at all, I assure you he wouldn't have a program on Fox.

You and I actually agree about this. If O'Reilly was someone who kisses the asses of liberal politicians, he's work for any of the other networks.

She was excellent? I'm still watching the interview from yesterday, but so far she sounds like a moron. Her solution to the high gas prices is to levy a profit tax on oil companies? WTF is that?

Obama now has to go do O'Reilly as well. He is a coward if he doesn't.

Obama already told O'Reilly he would, after the primaries are over. He told him this back in Jan or Feb when O'Reilly tracked him down at a campaign stop. This was after O'Reilly got ticked off at Obama's security guard for blocking the FNC camera man's shot of Obama. It was pretty funny.

I think he's pretty much a girl boy anyway. Did you watch that joint interview with Michele? Is there any question who drives their car?
