From what I saw online of the discussion between Fox News Bill O'Reilly and President Obama, it's obvious where O'Reilly stands - no doubt. But we already knew that O'Reilly leans towards the "right" end of the political spectrum.
Overall, I think the conversation went much better than a conversation between Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck and the President would have went. However, I still don't like this whole "let's-interrupt-the-other-person" thing. If you ask a question, even if you're having a debate of sorts, you have to let the other person finish. Whenever I watch the news and the news anchor asks a liberal and a conservative questions, the two representatives of their political parties start going at it. Nobody lets the other finish. You just look like a fool who can't control yourself if you just start talking and talking and try to talk OVER the other person.
But I think that O'Reilly did a good job representing Fox News, putting them perhaps in a more moderate light, since Obama's administration did say that Fox News wasn't a real news network - ouch.
