Senator Barack Obama will appear on Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" tonight, a Democratic source tells Politico.
The move is timed to counterprogram the Republican National Convention, which is likely to drive Fox's ratings sky-high and to give Obama access to a conservative audience.
It's Obama's first appearance on the widely viewed cable show, and is a sign of what Vanity Fair today reported is a "tentative truce" between Obama and News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch.
Obama clashed with Fox News during the primary after it aired early reports suggesting he had been a Muslim in Indonesia. The relationship warmed in May, however, when he appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and told its host, Chris Wallace, that he was "looking forward" to appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor."
Wow! I’ve never seen Megyn Kelly so impassioned! And Lis Wiehl is equally incensed about the double standard being applied to Sarah Palin.
“Where’s the sisterhood, ladies?” asks Megyn. Glad to see someone else is as angry as I am. I’ve been in a bad mood all day.
I’m watching BOR right now, no mention of Obambi, Newt’s coming on next at 8:49PM. Just another Obama campaign bullsh*t lie. Hey Obambi and Axelrod, you’re just two punk LYING COWARDS!!!
Total BS!
bor should ask oba mao why
brother spike won’t give fox an interview.
You should be watching the Republican convention on CSPAN. It’s been great. Robert Duvall’s narative to a photo montage was excellent and inspiring.
The show is over in 10 minutes. Newt is on now. No mention of bambi.
I can't stand O'Rielly either, but I keep watching because Megan Kelly is hot, especially when she is mad!
Roger Ailes is the Hugh Hefner of the news business.
Is this the same Obama who said it would be "political malpractice" for McCain to announce his running mate on the eve of Obama's big speech?
I knew it would be "do as I say, not as I do."

Politico has a way of releasing stories with their name on them to get you to their website. Then when you go there, you can’t find the story.
What you should know is, Politico holds a pdf file that is 63 pages long and is the Dem Opp Research on Palin and includes her SSN (except the last 4 digits). You can only find it by going to Redstate and clicking on the PDF. If you go to Politico, you won’t see any mention of it.
Watch Politico. That site is FULL of snakes.

If McAmnesty doesn't show on CNN, well then BHO don't have to do FOX either!
Childish, I know, but that is how this game works.
You can watch the convention unedited on CSPAN. I think that would be a lot more informative.
They corrected the article to read Obama will appear on Thursday night. Hmm, that’s the night McCain will accept the nomination.
Thanks. I needed to hear that. I know it’s true, but I want to see those vicious liars go down once and for all. This is so low.
I can’t wait until her speech tomorrow night and I know she’ll blast it out of the ballpark.
Ha! I knew O’Reilly would play the Diddy video. I think someone owes me $10 on a bet I made on this.
O’Reilly says interview is Thursday. Obama is classless, not that we didn’t already know it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
So much for the graciousness of allowing an opponent to have their “moment”... Supposedly, McCain delayed announcing Palin as VP until after their convention. Of course, we know that Democrats have no couth or morals.
