O'Reilly to Palast: Say 1 bad thing about Bush & you're off

Greg Palast is on with Mike Webb on KIRO right now here in Seattle.. He just said that on his O'Reilly Factor appearance the other night where he talked about the blackout with Bill Richardson, right before he went on, Bill warned him, "Say one bad thing about Bush and you're off."

4. Palast should have repeated it immediately when they went on air

Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 01:02 AM by JackSwift

and challenged him on it and asked why.

O'Reilly is a complete cowardly bully.

6. Coward?

He seems to me more like a pompus elitists bullying ass but not a coward. He doesn't let his guests have the chance to show his cowardness.

10. I agree "Palast" should have mentioned what bill said on air.

Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 02:25 AM by BEFOREATHOUGHT

Palast droped the ball!
I don't get why he would be scared to call him on it.

15. He took the better path to tell his story in a place where he could

really explain his side. As opposed to getting cut off , and comming off like he is an idiot worthy of censor.

16. Maybe, maybe not the better path.

The real story could be the media censorship, and letting the viewing public know that certain items are censored can be a civil opening. I agree that Palast seems to have dropped the ball.

When the WH scripts its press confrences, that should be the report. The media wonders why people are being turned off. They should try reporting the truth. If they didn't get the truth out of the press conference then that untruth is not what they should report!

Now, Palast's statements are just statements made that no one will remember.

18. he couldn't have

because o'reilly's show is taped, not live -- so he can edit out what he doesn't like in true "no spin" fair and balanced fashion...

why so many DUers continue to watch faux news confounds me :shrug:

8. Don't you just wish

that Palast would have had a little pocket tape recorder spinning when O'Weaseilly made his demand so that he later couldn't deny ever having said such a thing, which of course is what he does and would do.

9. But, but, there's NO SPIN here!

How could that be? O'Reilly doesn't spin anything.

Having Palast on and asking him to not say anything bad about Bush is like having Dan Quayle moderate a spelling bee.

11. No criticism by Palast would imply there is nothing to criticize.

Not good.

25. "Say one bad thing about Clinton - OR you're off!"

Isn't that the way it was done during the Big Dog's administration?
