      O'Racist, you and Faux are not the "most powerful news network". Those words are meaningless and are factless. The only thing Faux does is grab the sad lost, teabagging hick demographic that Drugbaugh has captured for years. Big deal. You are a fart in the wind.

      Fox News accused Obama of being thin-skinned?That's rich.

      He's responded to their perpetual vitriol maybe twice since he's been in the Oval Office? I know Hannity plays a mash-up of maybe three times Obama mentioned him by name at campaign events last year, but come on...

      It's all day, every day. It's in their teasers, it's in the scroll at the bottom of the screen, it's in every chyron, every news story. At this point it's shocking when Fox runs any story that is not intended to be negative toward Obama.

      How does O'Reilly do segments like this with a straight face?

      Yes, poor fearmongers, outside the realm of your scardycat and 70+ demographic audience all you can do is complaint how maligned you are. The Waaaaaahmbulance awaits.

      I'm starting to think these boys have a crush on Obama.

      Ratings?
      What the hell is HillBilly talking about?

      I can't find a single ratings source that says he's even close to beating CBS News, let alone standing in the shadow of ABC or NBC. I bet he's comparing apples and oranges again.

      HillBilly, you have impressive ratings for a cable news show, but your ratings numbers are loose change to the three broadcast news outlets.

        Faux beats CBS in the teabagging, reich-wing, anti-American, terrorist demographic.

        Glorifying his cable ratings with the looney tunes/con demographic so those same people can feel all warm and tingly about watching the best that's out there.

      Kind of off point but I do want to reply to what Bill-O said at the end of the clip

      Hey Bill if Robert Gibbs wont come on your program why dont you just treat him like everyone else who wont come on your program and send your producer to stalk him?

      But, BillO, there is no tension.

      The Obama Administration goes about doing the job it was elected for.

      The Fox Comedy Channel goes about lying, distorting, and bleating because the scary black man is in the oval office.

      See? No tension.

        Hmmm... I noticed that too. No Beck? Even though Beck is technically beating O'Reilly in their fantastic ratings game? Probably because even Bill can't sum Beck up in one sentence without using the words "racist sonovabitch".

        P.S. I do like the fact that Major has at least the smallest bit of credibility (besides working on FOX News) and made it clear that he's more of a journalist than O'Reilly, Hannity, and Beck could ever be combined. At least he couldn't keep a straight face when asked if he's ever pulled aside and given "tips".

        I cannot understand what is wrong with a country where such rubbish as Fox news can be popular at all. Are they brain-dead, or maybe on coke.

      While sussing up Fox's ideological makeup, O'Reilly mysteriously doesn't mention Beck who compares Obama to Hitler and Stalin. Gee, I wonder why Obama may feel the network is hostile...

      Bill and FoxNews Channel have been going 24/7 in their campaign of "lies", "smears" and "mis-information" about President Obama and the Democrats (for over a year now), and now they want to have members of the White House come on FoxNews Channel for an interview - ha, ha, ha. How "sad", LOL.

      Thank you President Obama and ALOT of Democrats for "NOT" letting FoxNews Channel "bully" you ALL into frequent interviews at their tabloid network just to push their ratings. Hmmm, wonder if old Rupert or Republicans control that industry too? If so, then of course FoxNews Channel has been rewarded with inflated numbers for their "nastiness" towards an American President during America's financial troubles, job and home lossess, two wars, etc. etc.

      And too, Bill's just explaining to advertisers tonight that his show was solid since he went after President Obama, an American President, but "NOT" as heavy as Sean Hannity had done. Sounds like Bill is distancing himself from Sean, just like he did with Glenn Beck a week or so ago. Uh, oh. LOL

      The WWE absolutely smokes Faux News in the ratings.

      Not only that, but the WWE has a far shrewder and more discerning audience.
