Guess that means that O’Reilly will drop his 26 part “hard-hitting” expose on Obama now.

I am growing weary of O’Reilly and his phony “independent thinking” which is shorthand for having no core principles.

To hell with Greta.

Last night she was rolling her eyes as Laura Ingraham was passionately defending Sarah Palin.

Laura called her on it and showed what a hack Greta is.

It’s all about O’Reilly and his ratings. Will the Democrats be able to find Fox news on their cable boxes or have they burned that button off?

This is an assumption on your part, and we all know what happens when we assume . . . .

I will withhold my judgement of BOR until after the interview. If Obama is gunning for the office of President of the United States, then he needs to be a man and have the courage to answer direct questions with direct answers. I’m looking for BOR to shut him down when BHO just rambles on without addressing his questions. Until proven wrong, I am taking this inverview as a ammunition gathering session for McCain so that he can address BHO’s gaffs in his speech in “real time”.

Why single out Greta?

She’s become nothing more than an ambulance chasing exploiter of other people’s tragedies. She is certainly not as bad as Nancy Grace, but is in the same vein.

Boycott the whole dang station!!!

I already watch the conventions on C-span..both the Democrat and the Republican, talking heads think that what they say is more important than the actual political process that happens during the convention, and I for one of tired of them blabbing over history.

I assume it because I watched/listened as he chucked pumpkin-sized soft-balls at Hillary Clinton for her to “hit out of the park”.

...and because past behavior is quite often an indicator of future behavior.

Obama and the other Democratic U.S. presidential contenders boycotted Fox News during the primary election season, saying they wouldn't stage a debate on the network because of its alleged bias in favor of the Republican Party.

It made me crazy then, it makes me crazy now, that whenever this *alleged* bias is charged re: FOX, it is never pointed out that ABC's Stephanopolous not only hosted the Dem primary debate but interviewed Hillary Clinton, though he used to be her employee. Oh, no possible bias there, right??

Dear Bill.
Hope you do it right and not softball Obama, if you do you’ll lose all respect from those of us that watch your show, and we’ll be gone.

I signaled out Greta because her and her husband are supporting McCain/Palin.

You can bet O’Reilly will do his imitation of the Texas Rangers’ pitching staff when it comes to Obama.

The bottom line is that Fox sold out to get the worthless Obama interview.

Yep. BOR has been sucking up to Obambi for months just to get this interview. This is going to be the softball interview of the year.

Unless the schedule has changed, Obama is on O’Reilly at 8:00PM and McCain gives his speech at 10:00 PM or later.

I see no problem here, none at all. I also do not believe they agreed to any pre conditions regarding questions. There was no need for that since if Obama refused for that reason it would have gotten out and made him look pretty bad.

Finally, ask yourselves WHY Obama is agreeing to this interview? Something or someone feels he needs this additional exposure and it’s probably related to their internal polling.

All you are doing is letting BOR he has a viewer
That is all they care about VIEWERS
They don’t care if you agree or disagree as long as you WATCH

You and the rest on this site should QUIT watching —that is all that will work
