Bill O'Reilly's First Visit To The Daily Show

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on February 06, 2012 · Flag

For some reason, The Daily Show sent me this clip of Bill O'Reilly's first visit to The Daily Show. It's pretty funny but also resonates today. The interview appears to take place around in 2001 (because O'Reilly says he has worked at Fox for 4 1/2 years and it appears to be very early in George W. Bush's presidency. Stewart confronts O'Reilly about Fox News' bias and O'Reilly claims that he'll let Republicans "have it" and "broadside 'em just as much" "if they misbehave." We can all see how well that worked out. Let me know when I missed Fox giving 9/11 Truthers the same kind of exposure and cred it has given to birthers and I might stop laughing. Meanwhile, O'Reilly and Stewart are stil funny togehter even after all these years.

Ok, then- my bad. Yeah, usually the very small amounts of fairness Fox News can claim with a straight face is Shep Smith, or Geraldo when it happens on a weekend. Almost everyone with Newshounds is shocked when anyone else even tries to be genuinely fair, and not “Fox Fair”.

Geraldo’s look was “Fox Fair”, but it’s definitely a lot better than what the rest of them did.

An 8 minute segment… 3 1/2 of which he spent insulting the Truthers. Yep, that is certainly comparable to almost 170 hours of on-air time, as well as literally dozens of articles endorsing the birthers.

That argument is akin to thinking Shepard Smith asking if the New Black Panthers are really news balances out the 10 hours the rest of Fox News put into them.

Bildo and Fux Noise: Shoveling the same shit since at least 2001.
