HA HA! THANKS for sharing your experience with Mr. Spin Man O'Reilly. I'm getting more and more opportunities for interviews myself (although none hostile...yet!), so this is good training for if and when the time comes I have a situation happen when I need to let the interviewer crash and burn. <em>DON'T GO UNPREPARED.  AND ALWAYS PLAN FOR THE WORST.</em> I bet that news woman at CNN will NEVER forget this kid or the word “scombridae” ever again!

THANKS for sharing your experience with Mr. Spin Man O’Reilly. I’m getting more and more opportunities for interviews myself (although none hostile…yet!), so this is good training for if and when the time comes I have a situation happen when I need to let the interviewer crash and burn.

DON’T GO UNPREPARED.  AND ALWAYS PLAN FOR THE WORST.

Do not have cable and therefore I am spared both CNN and Fox newscasts and 2. I don't watch much TV news at all. All of this just makes me grateful that I:

The video is from CNN ( as Left as Fox might be Right ) and the woman blows the word, and then blows ( twice ) that the (poor) kid spelled it right. If this had been on Fox, there would be no end to the piling on. You posters are not being fair, or balanced. I don’t understand the Fox news bashing.

Way, way too much time on their hands.

Fun to see how frustraed O'Reilly gets when Kopel refuses to play his game. In the end, he's reduced to simple name calling without any pretense of substance. Anyone familiar with Kopel's work knows how ridiculous O'Reilly's charge of SP is. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aql3KPnDJwA <em>I don't know that I would say that O'Reilly got manhandled, but Kopel (whose work I'm not familiar with) certainly held his own.</em> <em>Cheers--</em> <em>MRE </em> Here’s a recent example of O’Reilly getting manhandled by David Kopel.

I don’t know that I would say that O’Reilly got manhandled, but Kopel (whose work I’m not familiar with) certainly held his own.

How many times do Dems have to hit their head against the Fox wall before they stop?

I stopped watching Fox Cable a long time ago, and it was gratifying to have my instincts proven correct when it came to the dishonesty of Fox news and interviews. I would think it very wise for all Democrats, in office, as nominees, liberals, progressives, etc., to just stop going on that network. There are other venues, and Fox would find itself with no one to argue with. I was very gratified when Obama, Clinton, and Edwards all decided not to participate in the so-called debate Fox was preparing. I'm not interested in watching entertainment where it concerns the future of this country. I want to see a real debate, and those can be had on other channels.

It has baffled me ever since I worked on Robert Greenwald's documentary, "Outfoxed," and continues to confound me as a blogger about FOX News three years later.

Hi Ellen–

It’s no mystery.  Doctors are always smarter than Democrats.

Glad you enjoyed the post.
