30. the O'Reilly Factor

****SNIP***

The show's name was changed from The O'Reilly Report to The O'Reilly Factor. Asked how he came up with the title, O'Reilly shrugs and says, "It means that I'm the factor in the show that separates it from all the other shows."

But according to Cullinan, the title actually derives from a term O'Reilly became familiar with in the mid-1980s, when his friend John Tantillo came up with a phrase to describe the small distortions and subtle shadings that seemed to shape O'Reilly's reality. "Tantillo once remarked that everything that transpired around Bill had what he called an 'O'Reilly factor' to it," says Cullinan. "We used to say back then that Bill would never lie, but he got more mileage out of the truth than anybody. . . . So that became a catchphrase for little O'Reilly stories: 'Oh, it was the O'Reilly factor.'"

hahahahahahahahahaha! That's priceless.

2. thx, sweetums!

aaarrrghh

it hurts...

I so luv Krugman

[KC21304]

3. It won't hurt . O'Reilly makes such an ass of himself.

Russert just lets him go. That is the worse part. But I think you can see by Russerts expression he knows O'Reilly is hurting himself.

4. Thanks for the heads up

My comments as the interview is going on:
Krugman looks rational: O'Reilly looks insane. I believe this is the truth. I'd love to have Krugman use a fist on the idiot's face. "This is not your show, you can't cut my mic"... great comment, Paul! College sophomores could do better...great! I'm surprised O'Reilly is letting him talk-you don't see him-did someone muzzle him for a while? I didn't get the comment about paperbacks and hardbacks that Krugman made until the other guy told about both books-O'Reilly's isn't in paperback yet. Interesting.

For some reason, Dish is allowing me to watch CNBC (I don't subscribe to it), so this is my first chance to view this!)

5. OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I haven't been able to catch the whole thing yet, now i can! :):):)

[Beaverhausen]

6. thanks! although I don't know how much of o'really's bullying I can take

[Placebo]

8. O'Reilly would Fire 50 people...

instead of paying a little more in taxes.

greedy bastard.

[U4ikLefty]

9. LOL..I love watching O'Liely getting owned

thanks for the heads up!!!

[Cerridwen]

10. I tried, I really did

But o'reilly just rants on and on.

The bully's tactic, shout over the opposition so they can't be heard.

argh.

[Cerridwen]

15. Thank you - n/t

[girl gone mad]

11. Tim Russert sucks as a moderator.

He is totally ineffective.

[Generic Other]

13. O'Reilly is a quasi-murderer!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And he's now admitting Iraq was a "screw-up." He needs to eat broken glass.

[Cerridwen]

14. Okay, it's getting better

"so you're a quasi-murderer"


o'reilly says "every clear thinking person" knows the war in Iraq is a mistake.

When did he finally have that epiphany?

[AlCzervik]

16. Krugman is doing the exact right thing

yes let Blow keep pissing and moaning and yelling, he's making himself look even worse. O'lielly is truly paranoid with a persecution complex, his great unraveling is underway.

[U4ikLefty]

17. You know I wish they'd get some big, tough, mean looking liberal

to start jeering O'Liely. Imagine someone like Bill Walton telling O'Liely to shut his mouth & stop pointing/interrupting or he'd break his jaw. Then we'd see what a whiny loser O'Liely really is. Now that would be "Must See TV"

[AlCzervik]

18. When i watched it last week

i kept hoping the Blow would take a swing at Krugman, i think that would have been O'lielly's end.

[U4ikLefty]

19. I think one day he will do just that

He looks like he's gonna have a coronary when a liberal makes a point. Some day he'll either take a punch at somone or get all Fred Sanford.

[AlCzervik]

23. crash cart!!!!

It's only a matter of time and God do i hope cspan is there to catch it, petty i know but i cant help it where Blow is concerned.

[CatWoman]

20. O'Reilly keeps whining about the NY Times

because they wont review his books :nopity:

also O'Reilly flat out LIED about Blix being on his show before the war. it came out after this show and Krugman researched it.

[Beaverhausen]

22. O'Reilly lied? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!!!

I had to turn it off...

[Cerridwen]

21. Nice, Krugman keeps coming back to topic n/t

[Generic Other]

24. "The media can make anyone look like a fascist or a communist"

A confession!

[Generic Other]

25. He said Media Matters was affiliated with the KLAN?

It's PBS!

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/mediamatters/

[CatWoman]

26. no, he meant mediamatters.org

run by David Brock.

(I think)

[girl gone mad]

27. Krugman wa referring to..

www.mediamatters.org - that's David Brock's site.

And yes, comparing David Brock to the Klan is pretty ridiculous. He isn't a hate group and his credibility is pretty good.

O'Reilly is such a bluthering fool. He's really a one-trick pony, and that trick got old long ago.

[milkyway]

28. Unfortunately, a lot of people will think O'Reilly won this debate, simply

because he was the loudest and most obnoxious. I didn't catch the beginning, but it seems O'Reilly spoke at least twice as much as Krugman. And it seemed like at least 95% of the words that came out of O'Reilly's mouth had no substance to them at all. It was all personal smears, name calling, bullying and whining (and when he would say something factual, it would be a distortion or outright lie). Why was Russert on the set? To sit like a potted plant while Blowhard O'Reilly went on and on?

I love Paul Krugman, but him and O'Reilly couldn't be more different in style. To counter an obnoxious jerk like O'Reilly, I'd like to see someone who would stoop to his level and get down and roll in the mud with him (Mike Malloy?).

[jmags]

29. I finally got to see the interview after hearing about it

for a few days. I can't say I'd have much positive to say about O'Reilly even if I didn't actually see that, but after seeing the way in which he conducted himself, I find him a truly reprehensible human being.

One would hope an interview like that would diminish his chances of having any credibility in the mainstream media, but Ann Coulter still gets her interviews.
