Re: O'Reilly
I know what you mean about the tone of the interview. I listened to the whole thing including Gross's spin and O'Reilly's spin. But I think you are wrong in the conclusions. O'Reilly is an old, old hand at this and he knew exactly what he was doing to an iota of a tittle of a jot. He was setting Gross up to take a big punch after she played into his hands by popping in a series of jabs. In short, they both got what they wanted from the interview and they both were going for the gotcha when they went in. Gross is no amateur at this either. We hear what we want to hear when we listen to these Left/Right Kabuki dramas. That's why we tune in. If Gross had been smart she would have foreseen this and adjusted her techniques in order not to give him an opening. But she couldn't because then *her* audience would be howling about Gross playing softball when she should have been playing hardball. If she had softened the slant, I'm willing to bet that you and me and a hundred other blogs would have been left disappointed. Gross is an act. O'Reilly is an act. The object of the game is to score points with the converted on either side. On points, I give this one to O'Reilly. There are responses to this message:
