O’Reilly: ‘Dodge’ Fox News ‘at your peril.’

O’Reilly: ‘Dodge’ Fox News ‘at your peril.’
Calling into Fox and Friends this morning, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly discussed the prospect of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) potentially debating on Fox News. O’Reilly said he expects “both Obama and Hillary Clinton to be respectful to the Fox News Channel.” “If you dodge us, it is at your peril,” he added. Watch it:

O’Reilly also claimed that Fox “has treated both candidates fairly,” apparently forgetting the network’s pushing of the false madrassa story.
UPDATE: In June, when Democrats refused to debate on Fox, Fox CEO Roger Ailes claimed that “the candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face Al Qaeda.”

The Falafel King is in the begging mode for ratings.
O’Reilly: “both Obama and Hillary Clinton to be respectful to the Fox News Channel.†LOL!
February 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pmBillO, petty thug.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pmWhy would anybody bother going on a station that has a couple hundred geezers as its audience?
February 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pmso they call into each other’s shows and ‘dish’ on the news.
It’s like watching 2nd Graders.
I knew that Clinton would try to lean back toward the Right once she saw that Obama was starting to consolidate the far left… I just hope Obama sticks to his guns and continues to refuse to deal with FeuxNoise
February 6th, 2008 at 2:24 pmthey have both agreed to to debate on FOX
February 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pmIf I were Clinton and Obama, I’d agree to the debate on one condition:
Moderated by
February 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pma: Randi Rhodes
or
b: Rachel Maddow
Hillary already agreed to the debate.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:27 pmO’Reilly also claimed that Fox “has treated both candidates fairly,â€
Well, that goes to tell you how delusional O’Reilly has become. Hopefully Obama will remain firm and refuse to debate on Faux Noise. Let Clinton go on Faux and debate herself.
There is no need for any Democrat to go on Faux Noise to debate. There is no way that the people who watch Faux would ever vote for a Democrat anyway, so why bother? Why open yourself to questions like “When did you stop beating your wife” because that is the kind of questions they will be asked.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pmReporters thinking they are the news = pathetic.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pmthe one reason they were and still are afraid of Fox – the follow up question.
hillary won’t survive it. tears will flow, bubba will explode.
don’t really know enough about obama to try and make a prediction
February 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pmI would like to see both Obama and Clinton officially announce (together) that they will be happily to debate anywhere….except Fox News.
After that announcement, we can then sit back, open a cold beer, and enjoy and whining, pissing, and moaning of all the goose-stepping talking heads on that sh*t-a**, sorry excuse of a news channel!
February 6th, 2008 at 2:30 pmoooohhh, falafel man, making threats. oooohhh, i is askeered.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pmthey have both agreed to to debate on FOX
Comment by ct
Perhaps ct can prove it. I have done a news search and as far as I can tell, only Clinton has agreed to a debate on Faux Noise.
Hopefully Obama sticks to his guns and continues to refuse.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:31 pmHillary already agreed to the debate.

Comment by ct
Loon ct is talking about follow-up questions like the example I gave before, questions like “when did you stop kicking your dog”.
Obama is not afraid of Faux Noise. He simply holds them in disdain since he knows that they are nothing more than a wing of the Republiscum party.
Either Obama or Clinton could run rings around any of the Fox talking heads, assuming that it was a fair fight. Unfortunately the way that the Fox talking heads speak to Democrats is to talk over them, under them, around them and when they get really upset about the answers, cut their mike’s.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:34 pmAnother possibilty, since Faux Snooze isn’t really news, how about having the debate on the only other Fox offering worth a shit.
The Simpson’s Debate Show! And hotdog cart…

Comment by c**t — February 6, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
Poor little c**t thinks that dissing an organization with admitted bias against one’s party is the same thing as being “afraid”.
Poor little c**t confuses smart management of time, resources and circumstance with “fear”. Not surprising, as fear has become the theme song of the wrong wing these days.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:37 pmAt least Clinton and Obama won’t have electronics hidden in their clothes during the debate, like Skippy McDumbass did in 2004.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pmO’Rielly – If you dodge homeless veterans after dismissing them, it is at your peril.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pmYeah, fox has been fair, like when wallace asked hillary why she’s insisting on defeat in Iraq the other day…
February 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pmI have to say that the scorecard below the talking heads in the picture above must be making the Republican’s very nervous. In New Jersey this shows that almost 1,090,000 Democrats voted compared to the 469,000 Republicans who voted. The Republican vote was 43% of what the Democratic vote was. That has to be scaring the hell out of the talking heads on Fox and the Republican party in general.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:38 pmROFL What a moron. hey, Butt-boy Bill, your News Network’s ratings are dropping like a stone. The only people that watch are Freepers and they are all going to vote Repug or not vote anyway so, in short, no one gives a rats ass about the Pravda News Agency.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pmHillary Clinton wants to debate at FOX “News” and by doing so promote the legitimacy of the Amerkanische Volkischer Beobachter.
That tells me a lot about her character right there…

February 6th, 2008 at 2:40 pmHoly crap. Their graphics are almost taking up half the screen.

February 6th, 2008 at 2:42 pmO’Reilly: “If you dodge us, it is at your peril.”
Because then O’Reilly will start saying mean things about Democrats and liberals, something he’s currently refrained from doing.
Democrats should debate on Faux so that they can persuade those on-the-fence voters that fill the Faux audience? Or so they can set themselves up for “analysis” by the Faux propagandists? Seems like lose-lose to me.
Of course, if Ann Coulter is going to start campaigning for HRC, that’s another issue. Ha!

I do find it interesting that the only canidate that has received money from Ruppert M. so far this year is Hillary. Changing with the wind, it seems.
Maybe with an all Dem executive and legislative after November, FOX turns into an unabashedly liberal station. Whatever the masses want, Ruppert gives them (if it makes money). Snake.

Comment by bobcat_grad — February 6, 2008 @ 2:42 pm
bobcat, this is a point that constantly bothers me.
It’s been shown that the presence of the news ticker and extranneous graphics decrease the amount of information retained by the viewer.
One study done at http://dspace.wrlc.org/bitstream/1961/4116/1/Michael%20Keefe-Feldman%20Thesis.pdf concluded “the presence of
the news ticker is significantly negatively correlated with viewer comprehension of main story information. “
“News” channels are ostensibly in the business of providing information to their viewers. Yet their preferred method of presenting that information undercuts their stated purpose.
That tells me something important about the seriousness of their missions.

February 6th, 2008 at 2:53 pm“On phone: Bill O’Reilly”
Jumbo-sized no doubt to take a cheap shot at Andrea Makris.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pmI think a contract with Fox setting conditions that must be met, with large financial penalties should Fox break the contract, might be in order before Barack and Hillary agree to debate on that network.
Among the conditions I would require no commercials, a League of Women Voters moderator and no editing of questions and answers in any future broadcasts of what transpires.
That way Barack and Hillary can say they were willing to debate on Fox but Fox would not agree to be Fair and Balanced.
February 6th, 2008 at 2:57 pmFaux News will ask questions like, “Which of these two will be your first priority if elected President?”
1) Raise taxes to 50% across the board to fund abortion clinics, or,
2) Surrender to Osama and offer to build madrassas in every state.
As a follow up question, why do you hate America and Jesus?
About right ct?
February 6th, 2008 at 2:59 pmhahahaha,….that’s a good boy Billo….make sure you piss off the next president…
i can’t think of anything i’d like to see/hear more.
February 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pmFor what it’s worth, I am calling Clinton and Obama’s offices and complaining that in no way should they give legitimacy to Fox in any way, shape, or form.
Screw that!
Call and let them know your displeasure. I sure will!
February 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pmThe big blowhard O’Reilly has to dial in to his own network to get his BS comments on with the stooges and F&F. His threats are so laughable as if he has some kind power over anyone but his brainless zombie followers.

Well, it’s true. “Al Qa’ida” means the base. Fox News caters to the conservative base. Therefore, Fox is a front for the Republican al-Qa’ida

Comment by scytherius — February 6, 2008 @ 2:39 pm
Unfortunately, Fox News is very well watched which is what makes them so dangerous. They will likely pull off something similar to the swift-boating of Kerry against Hillary or Obama, and it will likely be successful. BTW, in polls McCain actually beats Clinton but not Obama. While I hate to admit it, the Dems could easily lose a Clinton / McCain matchup. The posturing of the far-right against McCain actually helps him as it makes independents (the key to the election) think he’s not THAT far to the right.
So, we now have Hillary trying to appease the right by agreeing to appear on Fox News. I hope you can all get used to this pandering to the right wing. You can forget about hearing strong progressive messages from the candidate we’re all being told we need to vote for. Hillary will move farther and farther to the right. She’s already too far in that direction for me.
While I was out in the streets protesting the Iraq war, Hillary was voting for it. She voted for many more rounds of funding on it. (Except the latest simply because of its unpopularity.) While I viewed the Patriot Act with disgust, Hillary was voting for it. I’m very concerned about global warming. Has Hillary given us an idea of how she hopes to deal with this issue?
Hillary or McCain – Is that a choice or an idea of how impotent our national electoral system is?
February 6th, 2008 at 3:21 pm“Unfortunately, Fox News is very well watched which is what makes them so dangerous.”
Yes. I can’t stand to watch them because my flesh immediately begins to crawl and my nose to crinkle at the unabashed, unrepentant, crass yellow journalism … but I know people who watch that stuff.
If there are any science fiction fans in the house, C. M. Kornbluth’s satire “The Marching Morons” has never been more applicable than it is today.

Fox wouldn’t know a debate from a urinal. CNN, Fox Lite, doesn’t get it, either.
Debates have time limited responses. Debates have real moderators, who don’t throw softball or psycho questions at the debaters.

Fox News is no friend of either Clinton or Obama. They will trash both with equal glee, and will go out of their way to smear whichever one of them gets the nomination in the fall.
O’Reilly is just being his delusional self. Just because Fox News is the preferred news outlet for the wingnuts doesn’t make them king of the hill. The votes Clinton and Obama are competing for aren’t watching Fox.

I’m also not a republican, nor am I a hardcore extreme liberal as many of you appear to be. I’m also not homophobic. Thank you all for your assumptions though.
February 6th, 2008 at 4:37 pmMost people here suffer from the false consensus bias. Because everyone they know feels the same way as they do, everyone else must feel that way too. This is terribly false. I was the same way prior to the 2004 re-election of Bush. Almost everyone I knew hated Bush, and when he was re-elected, I was crushed and amazed at the stupidity of the American people. Since that time I have grown a lot, and learned a lot; I no longer suffer from the false consensus bias and can see things from other people’s point of view. This false consensus bias also usually exhibits the fact that most people tend to assume that those who don’t agree with them have something wrong with them. There is an unreasonably high amount of this here. The smug on this site is also unreasonably high.

February 6th, 2008 at 4:50 pmWhat I find most telling is this: Obama does not accept money from PACs and lobbiests. Hillary does, and one of her contributors is Rupert Murdoch who owns and controls Fox News. So it seems to me that she has already started paying back her obligations to her corporate donors by agreeing to a debate on Fox after giving her word she wouldn’t last spring. Add to this her current effort to include Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention after previously agreeing she wouldn’t, and I think one gets a pretty clear idea of who she is – and what she values. Telling the truth and keeping her word do not appear to be among them. Now who does she remind me of…?

Ike it’s a prody on the phrase “fox news” which has been proven beyond speculation to be a misnomer……they do not report the news, they report a biased view of some events without giveing the whole story and in some cases outright lying……easy to prove….not a mystery…..everyone knows.

Kind of undercuts an argument against name-calling when you call the name-callers names, don’t you think?
February 6th, 2008 at 6:35 pmIcky bones, I not a sad little woman, I’m a old, happy city. But I could be a gay saint if you prefer. I’ll even confess my wildest desires to you.

You are right ralph. Sorry, I have now offically stopped. ( and to think I know better than to engage trolls, must be the meds)

Given the course of the conversation, Auggie (if I may be so familiar), your responses were entirely justified.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:21 pmThanks ralph, Auggie is fine. I had bad vibes running through me after hearing from my friend in Maryland whose son was injured in Iraq and who just found out today that she has cancer. She has a standing invitation to come to Frorida but she is also caring for her husband who has major medical problems also, but no insurance.
February 6th, 2008 at 9:09 pmDear Think Progress,
Why write about these DICKS?
February 6th, 2008 at 9:34 pmIGNORE Faux. Stop giving them ANY coverage / added exposure!
C’mon! Knock it off. They don’t exist. Forget ‘em.
What annoys me most about a lot of the trolls is how so many threads become about themselves. I don’t know about the rest of you but I could absolutely care less about all of the things that our buddy Ike has said about himself.
February 6th, 2008 at 9:59 pmMaybe O’Lielly wants to get the Minnesota Senatorial candidate on too. I hear that line-up worked wonders for the big bully O’Lielly the last time they squared off…
And isn’t it just like O’Lielly to threaten his “guests” before the even come on the show.
Maybe Obama and Clinton can come too and castrate him live on national television … well, more than he’s already been bobbed….
Cheers,
February 6th, 2008 at 10:07 pmMake a deal: Obama & Clinton go to Fox if McCain & Huck agree to a debate on Comedy Central
February 7th, 2008 at 1:54 amWTF are you talking about? You asked me when I turn 7. WTF kind of an argument would I mount to that?
Comment by Ike_Skelton — February 6, 2008 @ 5:59 pm
It would be the only thing you’ve mounted in a long time, I suspect.
February 7th, 2008 at 2:04 amBetter watch your back Barack, O’moron will sic the fox news police on you. He is through with all you haters of America.
February 7th, 2008 at 2:12 amOooh! What are ya gonna do? Compare Sen. Clinton to Hitler? Speculate about Obama’s last name bein only ONE letter different than Osama?
Planning on knee-capping anybody, Billy?
Ya know Billy, you really sound like an abusive drunk with your threats.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:51 amWhy on earth should Democrats feel compelled to be set up for trashing on GOP-TV? Fox News is about as fair and balanced as Pravda or Izvestia were. The die-hard GOP base that lives on Fox won’t vote for Democrats anyway. Let them watch a real news channel if they want to see a debate.
February 7th, 2008 at 8:56 amFox News compares itself with Al Qaeda… nothing else needs to be said.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:41 amCan there be anything MORE pathetic than Bill O’Reilly and Pravda News? The answer, btw, is “no”. I mean I don’t know a soul in this world, and I know a LOT of people, on all sides of the aisle who don’t think O’Reilly is the world’s biggest joke and that there is no “news” at Faux News.
But, as has been said before, let them rave on ’cause the world KNOWS they are mad.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:06 amFox New is a part of the Un-holy alliance between devil worshipers and politicians.

oreilly is the biggest pile of stinky crap on the air…..
February 7th, 2008 at 12:00 pmIf Hillary has already agreed to the FauxNoise “debate” Obama will be trashed if he doesn’t go along. Instead, the Obama camp should agree but only under this condition: a) Two rounds (international and domestic) consisting of 20 minutes uninterrupted opening remarks by each candidate followed by 10 minute uninterrupted rebuttals by each candidate, b) 20 minutes (or less) of questions limited to ONLY what had been said in the foregoing hour, c) 15 minutes closing comments from each candidate. If Obama insists on this type of format and FauxNoise refuses, he has legitimate cover whereas if FauxNoise agrees, he and Hillary are both free to present their respective arguments relatively insulated from what will otherwise be a colossal farce.
