Geraldo Attacks O'Reilly over Contentious Obama Interview: You Minimized the President!

Geraldo Rivera took on Bill O’Reilly Friday night over whether O’Reilly was disrespectful to President Obama in their big Super Bowl interview. Rivera gave O’Reilly some benefit of the doubt, but other than that thought O’Reilly was a bit too confrontational and didn’t give Obama the kind of respect a president normally deserves.
Rivera argued it was less like an interview and more like a meeting of the minds with the “President of Most of the White Guys of America” (O’Reilly) against the president of the rest of the country, and told O’Reilly that it was out of line for him to refer to Obama as a “community organizer.”
He said it was “unsettling to watch,” and the president deserves “all the respect and dignity” of the office. O’Reilly fired back that his job is not to please, it’s to “get information” and ask “the tough questions,” and believed that he gave enough deference and respect to the office of the presidency.
Rivera concluded that the larger point O’Reilly made about inner-city families was “obscured” by how he “minimized” the president.

Monday Cable Ratings: O'Reilly Tops 4.2M Viewers with Obama Interview

The continuation of Bill O’Reilly’s pre-Super Bowl interview with President Barack Obama drew a strong 626K viewers in the 25-54 demo and 4.204M total viewers to Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor, making it the most-watched show on cable news Monday night.
The strong lead-in did not help Fox’s The Kelly File as much as one would have expected, especially in the demo. The Rachel Maddow Show was #1 in the demo at 9pm with 472K, ahead of Megyn Kelly with 372K. Kelly did come out ahead in total viewers with 2.686M to Maddow’s 1.367M.

Matthews Uses O'Reilly Interview to Go After Obama Derangement Syndrome on Benghazi

During his Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly, President Obama continued to downplay the idea there was any “scandal” surrounding the Benghazi attacks. Republicans, of course, reacted very negatively, even going so far as to, in some cases, calling Obama a liar. Chris Matthews took on the GOP responses on Tuesday and used them to go after the conservative “Obama Derangement Syndrome.”
Matthews said that Benghazi has “become a code for something,” and while he didn’t get more specific about what that is, Eugene Robinson noted it’s simply code for how much people hate Obama.
Dana Milbank claimed that the crux of the Benghazi argument is about what Obama called it, mockingly saying “it doesn’t matter if he called it a ham sandwich!” He added, “To have a cover-up there has to be something you’re covering up.”
Matthews brought up his past clashes with Republicans and said Obama Derangement Syndrome has just gone off the rails; so much, so, Robinson said, it’s morphed into this weird “denial of the fact that the American people voted for him twice.”

O'Reilly Hits Interview Reactions: Liberals Upset I Was Rude, The Right Wanted Me to Scorch Him

Bill O’Reilly acknowledged Tuesday that not everyone was happy with his big Super Bowl interview with President Obama, taking a shot at liberals who said he was “rude” and “obnoxious,” and conservatives who were upset O’Reilly didn’t get tougher with the president. O’Reilly also took a shot at the media coverage of the interview, especially from Washington Post opinion writer Dana Milbank.
O’Reilly called Milbank “intellectually dishonest” for saying on MSNBC this was the “nastiest exchange” the Fox host has ever had with Obama. O’Reilly said Obama was “cool throughout” and neither of them got “annoyed,” but, he lamented, that didn’t stop the “far-left zealots” from spinning the whole thing.
O’Reilly also said the media either “ignored or covered the story casually,” singling out CBS This Morning for covering it fairly and CNN for almost totally ignoring it.
