By Al Kamen The pro football playoffs begin this weekend, but Fox Sports is already making sure there'll be solid television ratings no matter what teams makes it to the Super Bowl on Feb. 6.

That's because conservative Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly will be interviewing President Obama during the pre-game show, the White House confirmed yesterday.

When it broadcast the games in Obama's first two years in office, NBC had hosts Matt Lauer (2009) and Katie Couric (2010) do the pre-game chats.

O'Reilly , who interviewed Obama during the 2009 presidential campaign believes he gave Obama the toughest interview of anyone during that election. Unclear whether he'll be that tough this time around.

Must Miss TV. Will the boring factor be the square or the cube of the narcissism quotient?

I see he is also against repealing of death-care. Thinks 0 should focus on the economy.. Hey Bill he has that is why it is in turmoil.

Watching O’Reilly kiss Obama’s ass does not qualify as either news or entertainment. Naturally, O’Reilly will respond to any accusations that he softballed Obama with his usual indignant denials and professions of what a tough guy he is. I’ve gotten to the point where O’reilly’s egotism and ignorance are unwatchable.

Period.

I remember when the NFL was about football and sports commentators talked about the game.

And the halftime entertainment at the Super Bowl was "Up With People."

I watch O’Reilly just at the beginning of his show to see what the top story is and to see -not what HIS take is- but what his first guest usually has to say — if he lets them talk. Then I turn the channel.

Bill O’Reilly Promotes Ray Stevens Anti Obama Song Which Includes “Death Panel” Lie

Reported by Priscilla - January 18, 2010 -

It’s not surprising that an anti Obama song would be promoted on Fox News which actively promotes anything and anybody that is anti-Obama. Bill O’Reilly was so impressed with Ray Stevens' “patriotic” little anti-Obama tune, that he featured the song on two separate “Factor” segments. On neither occasion did O’Reilly attempt to rebut the lies that are presented in the song: but rather, presented it as wholesome fun. Move over Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and all the other songsters whose music accompanied the Civil Rights rallies and Freedom Marches. We now have a new form of protest music for another type of movement which actively vilifies the first African American president of the US. The times they are a changing….

I’m going to watch Beavis and Butthead reruns prior to the Super Bowl. Those two could conduct a better interview or run the country better than either Bill or Barrack.
