Bill O’Reilly said Monday night that Sarah Palin only has herself to blame for dropping approval ratings.
The Fox News host who has butted heads recently with Palin said the former governor has avoided direct engagement with the media, hurting her image.
“Her favorability among Republicans and independents has dropped four [percentage] points in a month,” O’Reilly said during a segment of his television show. “The reason I think it’s dropping is because she is not engaging directly.”
O’Reilly then pointed directly to a recent interview he had conducted with Palin in which she accused him of interrupting her after he asked a follow up question.
“When I had her on this program I had specific questions she didn’t want to answer,” the Fox host said. “She wants to the give a speech, this, that, and the other thing.”(continued)

I’m not a Palin-bot by a long shot, but O’Reilly is just another metrosexual. He’s just too pug-ugly to be one of the pretty ones.
Its also her fault she told you to stop talking over her too Bill. Damn you carry a long grudge.
With her being a Fox employee can she go on other channels and be asked questions? and I saw that episode and he is and was rude. He talks over everyone. All know this! He has his panties in a wad.
All you need to know about BOR is what he wanted to talk about after his two interviews with Obama. How did HE do? How did HE look? What did you think of MY questions? How was MY demeanor? Aren't you now more impressed with ME?
Ailes, pull the plug.
O’Reilly disgusts me. He’s forever butting in while guests attempt to respond to HIS topic.
NOTE TO MURDOCK: ... Dump O’Reilly.
Bill is a dumb ass if he didn’t understand her answer..she repeated it FOUR times, for a guy who supposedly graduated from Harvard he isn’t very bright now is he..oh and for her supposed “plunge” four points WOW, someone alert the media LOL
Bill likes Mitt...He said so many times and went to a baseball game with him, so obviously he will trash Sarah along with his EGO being bruised when she told him to shutup for interrupting her!
Sarah has all of the right people not liking her...she’s on the right track!
Oh yeah. She should play nice nice with the liberal media. That's sure to bring up her polling numbers. What a wise idea. /roll eyes
What O’Ego is REALLY saying is that she is not a Beltway-NYC axis insider.
Nor does she habitually kiss the a$$ of elitists manning the news filter at the top of the KingMedia heap.
She’s doing an adroit end-run, around condescending pr!cks like you Bill, taking her message directly to the American public.
There’s not a damn thing you can do about it either, safely ensconced among fellow, self-styled patricians in Manhattan.

Bill is a buttinsky know it all. Only Bill could make himself think that his interview is responsible.
I have seen many of frustrated individuals put up with his BS. Even some that appear on his show all the time.
Laura Ingraham is very good at handling Bill.
The Smarm Factor
O’Reilly is always trying to suck up to the “moderates.”
Maybe O’Reilly is right that she doesn’t make enough appearances, but he is wrong about her appearance on his show. It wasn’t wrong for her to tell him to stop interrupting her. O’Reilly keeps going on about this, just like he went on about his appearance on “the View” or his Superbowl interview. Her low approval ratings have to do with her being attacked everyday.
Honestly, I don't know how guests can handle his condescending & dismissive demeanor. And the way he glances off to the side or down at his notes, he looks high to me.
Mr. O Better be careful.....his audience LOVES Sarah and they are not happy with his treatment of her recently.....Sarah is MY President, and I watch O’Reilly....but if he should continue to harass her I will tune him out.
BOR does the same thing over and over. He interrups the guest by trying to simplify the guest’s argument and he gets it completely wrong. When the guest trying to correct him, he interrups again and makes the issue about himself. Last time I watched his show, he had his producer going around asking college-age girls if they have any embarrassing photos of themselves. What a creepy old guy.
