also, what o'reilly does is NOT debating.
Debating implies some sort of sturcture, and the ability for both sides to be able to get their point across uninnterupted.

True. If Letterman used the O'Pine tactics of interviewing, he could have cut him off mid-sentence through the whole 'discussion' and made him look a bigger fool.
Another classic is the O'Reilly spin tactic of focusing on one part of a topic, and bending it to his agenda. For example the 60 day jail sentence thing. There was a WHOLE PART that went with the sentence. Not just 60 days. But when some guest he had one pointed out the fact, O'Pine interupted him, and said he was not bending it because in fact it was only 60 days.
Yeah, if I focused on one sentence in anyone's paragraph, on any subject, I could basically bend it to my agenda as well. Fair and balanced my ass.
