On O'Reilly, Carpenter says "a lot of the right-wing bloggers sort of followed Matt Drudge's lead" responding to Obama press conference - they weren't alone

"What I love is that O'Reilly says he didn't see the Obama press conference but then says "the Factor" said it was "flat." How would he know?"
Please pay attention. He is referring to the BLOG...he has Amanda on there discussing conservative/liberal BLOG reactions. Of course he watched the conference. Maybe you're a Bill O hater so you probably did not even watch his post conference show?
Maybe you should watch something to be able to criticize it appropriately and accurately. There are too many haters out there who do not know what they are talking about.
Sucks posting a comment in a public forum and being completely wrong, doesn't it? I like to watch and read all sides, to be well informed and make my own conclusions.
"go ahead and keep brainwashing yourself with Bill-O's BS..."
Bold assertion I am being brainwashed when I'm the one open to all interpretations.
I've already proven your ignorance with your first comment, so show me where I am ignorant.
First of all, I'm the one open to all sides and I frequently criticize Eric on his liberal bias here and I've been doing criticism on MM since its beginning.
BTW, I don't care for The Factor but do tune in most nights for a bit to see what he's got to say - but I'm more so a fan of Amanda Carpenter's work at Townhall (her Twitter page is ok).
More to the point, Bill-O said, quote: "And correct me if I'm wrong because you saw it and I didn't, it was basically the press conference was flat.."
If he was referring to THE BLOG (which one he might've been referring to you didn't identify, even though several were mentioned by Capenter to be sure), he would've said "you read it, I didn't." Instead, he said he didn't SEE "it." THAT is what led me to believe he didn't watch Obama's press conference. After all, it was boring/dull to him and others on the right. So it wouldn't be a stretch to assume he lost interest and stopped watching at some point (if at all).
But you can think whatever you want. His own words are up for interpretation, as far as I'm concerned.
