thinkprogress.org/2009/03/23/oreilly-terkel/Okay, I can SOMEWHAT understand the attack-dog methods of his producer. They've been used by media before to get comments from reticent politicians and such. But what I don't understand is how ANYONE can take Fox News seriously when they have people trying to get interviews accuse their targets of dishonesty and causing pain to rape victims for not remembering the exact contents of a three-week-old blog post or the original comments that inspired it. Interview Rule #1: Never accuse your subject of anything. If you think you have dirt on them, ask about it as allegations and see if the subject hangs themself. If you accuse, it's immediately obvious you got nothing.

I saw the whole exchange on Olbermann. He had her on to explain what happened. What a fucking douche O'Reilly is. I don't think he's necessarily evil though, just a fucking asshole.

Olbermann gets it right by calling him Bill'o the Clown.

No, but just like Bill'o you don't take anything said seriously.

Doesn't Bill have a habit of blaming female rape victims for their own rapes?

Yet Japanese women dress very seductively and are safe compared to their American counterparts. Maybe because sex isn't as taboo over there?

Which is why it was simultaneously hilarious and tragic that they decided he should speak to survivors of rape and domestic abuse. I mean, for one, they've already suffered enough.... Sorry for the gallows humour, there. It's just...I mean...I don't even know what to say.

Olbermann gets it right by calling him Bill'o the Clown. You think clowns are that scary? Well, my brother and I were terrified of clowns growing up and still don't like 'em. I really hate that he's ambushed and harassed people--even in front of their homes--or had other people do it. And I don't get how anyone considers him entertaining or credible. Alas, my mom and several of my aunts and uncles do. A couple great O'Reilly-bashing websites: www.newshounds.uswww.sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.comOh, and yay for UPS! I already like them because they've clearly got a hotties-only hiring policy for NYC, and this just makes them even cooler.

I'd also like to add that Bill O'Reilly is a well-known sexual harasser and was astonished that people in a black restaurant ate their food without screaming profanities.

Oh, his "review" of Sylvia's! That place is an institution, too. People of all colors eat there all the time, no problem. Their coconut shrimp tends to trigger my breaks from vegetarianism. *pauses to wipe drool from mouth* Yeah, people talked about that one for a while. I bet people there will be screaming obscenities at him now. Y'all might enjoy this. A blogger "found" more of the Billdozer's restaurant reviews. www.qwertysqoncepts.com/2007/09/25/chef-bills-restaurant-reviews

No, it’s not the same as that rough sponge you use in the shower. It’s some kind of beans, ground up and deep fried. Very tasty, but I couldn’t help but laugh over the name."Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Awesome!
