I think the trouble with the interview was that O'Reilly was so anxious to get Moore on his show for ratings purposes that he accepted Moore's demand that the interview be done immediately. Fox hyped the show like CRAZY. O'Reilly had no time to really prepare his "cross-examination". He should have had quotes to display, video of the 9/11 commissioners to play, quotes or video of the Butler report, Kerry, Clinton, HRC, Edwards, etc. disputing Moore's accusations, quotes from Moore's books showing him to be anti-American, etc. Television is a visual medium and O'Reilly could have shown him to be a liar and propagandist if he prepared. Instead it was Bill's word against Moore's with nothing to show the audience to dispute Moore's claims. Preparation is everything. Bill went for the ratings and not the Knock Out, and it showed. He BLEW IT!!
