Bill O'Reilly is a Psychopath
On my drive home I happened to be listening to NPR's Fresh Air (servers are slow right now) and on it Terry Gross was interviewing Bill O'Reilly- full interview available here. I have heard Bill O'Reilly before and the man is just about short of being shipped to a madhouse.
All in all, the interview goes well while Terry asks him about his new book, 'Who's Looking Out For You?' and at about the 45th minute, Bill loses it. He starts accusing Terry of setting him up and framing him. He rants on and calls the interview to an end.
Now, he doesn't give Terry a chance to complete what she was talking about and umm... hangs up. [Yup, he's an idiot.] While on his rant, he has a few choice words for NPR, Terry, and in general liberalists. [Even more of an idiot.] He also challenges Terry to air the program and, of course, being the fair reporter she is, she airs it as is.
Now, Bill, you spineless psychopath, do you have the balls to finish that interview? Or are you going to hide behind your lunacy and just let this one fade?

I listened to both the Al Franken and the Bill O'Reilly interviews that Terry Gross did. Ms. Gross is kissing major ass when interviewing Al Franken giggling the entire time like an adoring school girl. It nauseated me to listen to it. This NPR needs to be more upfront as to who they are. Admit the liberal bias just like Rush Limbaugh admits his conservative bias. What is the point in trying to hide it? As for the fairness of the interview I was relieved to see that the NPR ombudsman agreed that the interview was indeed unfair and that Ms. Gross was unethical when she read the statement from People Magazine at the end without Mr O'Reilly being present. I was glad to see her get spanked. She deserved it.
