The interests of full disclosure require me to acknowledge that I have never liked Bill O’Reilly (BOR).

This said, I will nevertheless comment, not on his interview of Barack Obama Sunday night, but rather on a critique of his work offered by a Marc Ambinder who was sent careening off the walls by BOR’s “ridiculous” interview of Obama. Fair enough, let’s take a look at what Ambinder had to say.

After the obligatory liberal attack on Fox News and a completely incongruent, but equally obligatory swipe at Sean Hannity, Ambinder attempted to establish that he was disappointed because BOR’s questions were not sufficiently tough. He smugly babbles about “the real world”...

Actually, the original article does ask some good questions and makes some good points, e.g.:

“A much better question, one that should have occurred to every Obama-hating producer at Fox News, is this: “Mr. President, can you provide one example of when you held someone specifically accountable for a major screwup? One example? Over five years?” And if Obama prevaricated, then O’Reilly could have asked Obama why he seems to go out of his way not to hold his political appointees publicly accountable for mistakes of omission or commission.

But instead, O’Reilly entered the imaginary world of conspiracies and cover-ups and let the president off easy.”

He’s right.

Ambinder, looking for knowledge and insight.

I didn’t watch the interview because I knew I would be disappointed by BOR.

Sounds like I was right.

“But instead, O’Reilly entered the imaginary world of conspiracies and cover-ups and let the president off easy.”

That in itself is a victory for conservatives. Obama’s non-answers and evasions weren’t exactly hard to spot. BO’R didn’t need to be a hard-ass, and it was a better play to be respectful and let Barry be his own worst enema
