Just allowing for an interview with this scab is detrimental as it is always an attack piece used to edit lying by FOX. Just like the 60minutes piece was debunked this topic like the IRS should never have even been brought up. Obama is confused if he thinks rational people watch O'Reilly...we just get the soundbites on the net sites we visit. O'Reilly's ego is toxic...he thinks he IS that voice in his head rather than the observer of that voice.
