O'Reilly model? Mike Wallace
**snip**
...

A surprised Wallace asks O'Reilly if he is serious. "No spin," replies O'Reilly, echoing his program's No Spin Zone. "I mean, I'm serious about everything."

O'Reilly, long a favorite of conservatives, surprised Wallace with some of his views on political issues.

He said he is pro-gun control, against the death penalty, for civil unions and for gay adoption (as a last resort instead of state custody). And O'Reilly said he's not necessarily voting for President Bush this November.

"I've known (Democratic presidential nominee John) Kerry for 25 years. He's a patriot. I'm listening to what he has to say," he tells Wallace.

...

Huh? This must be some type of O'Reilly setup.

1. Bill O'Reilly Is Trying to Lure John Kerry Into an Interview on Fox
Bill O'Reilly has indicated over and over how highly thinks of George Bush and how much he despises Kerry.

This is a lure to trap Kerry into an interview with him which would be an edited disaster for Kerry.

Kerry's campaign needs to keep Kerry being Kerry and on the campaign trail.

John Kerry will interview with George W. Bush to three national audiences, the sizes of which, Bill O'Reilly can only dream of during the debates.

Fuck O'Reilly and his transparent pimping for Roger Ailes.

2. Kick
O'Whorley is at it again! Mike Wallace is the TRUE PATRIOT, not O'Liely.

3. No argument from me
I think Bill's an asshole on his best day. Just wondering what everyone thinks.

4. This is an absolute lie from a pathological liar
These people so utterly resemble Nazis in their willingness to say, at any moment, whatever lie is most expedient or plays to their machinations.

O'Reichley undoubtedly believes that telling lies in the service of defeating evil (which, coincidentally are the same "liberals" Hitler also painted as the Enemy) is acceptable.

Just like the Nazis, he of course, IS the evil, choosing merely to project his self onto others.

6. Wait! Wait! This just in.
The interview was with a fake Bill O'Reilly!

Well known freeper "hitlery kills", has uncovered yet another plot by CBS!

This "O'Reilly" was really a computer generated image.

7. Why not?
O'Reilly is an entertainer now, not a journalist. His personal views might very well be far different than the persona that he adopts on TV for pay. I is easy to forget that these guys don't do these gigs as volunteers, and that for ever the money has been in rw broadcasting. That personally some of these guys aren't far right wouldn't surprise me at all.

10. This IS what O'Reilly does best.
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 04:04 PM by GOPNotForMe
He will say something about how he loves hybrid cars and doesn't like SUVs just to tantalize people and make them tune in to see what he's going to say next. It's how he sells his "independent" crap.

13. I think it's a Wallace set-up, if anything.
I'm sure they'll juxtapose parts of the interview with things he's actually said on his FOX show. It'll be the funniest 60 Minutes ever!
