Bill O’Reilly: Why Is Rep. Ron Paul ‘Whining’ About Media Coverage And Dodging Me?

video
» 139 comments

As a candidate polling consistently within the top three of within the race for the Republican presidential nomination, Rep. Ron Paul has received a great deal of media coverage about how little media coverage he gets, even garnering support for being given more airtime by Jon Stewart. Tonight, however, one interviewer called out the Congressman for refusing an invitation to the airtime he complains he rarely gets– Bill O’Reilly, who extended an invitation to Rep. Paul today.

O’Reilly noted that he saw Rep. Paul chatting on the air with Megyn Kelly today, claiming that he had been consistently ignored. “We immediately invited Ron Paul on the Factor,” he noted, but did not receive a response from his campaign. “Ron Paul is whining to Megyn, and then we invite him on and he doesn’t show up,” O’Reilly lamented to guest Dick Morris.

After a discussion of the other 2012 candidates in which Morris concluded only Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Rep. Michele Bachmann were capable of defeating President Obama in 2012, O’Reilly asked him to make sense of the fact that Rep. Paul had seemingly declined to be interviewed by O’Reilly. Morris concluded that the candidate did not want to face challenging questions– “he’s fine when he gives a speech,” Morris argued, “but then you probe him…” O’Reilly countered that Rep. Paul had been on the program before and knew his interview style: “I have said to Mr. Paul’s face that some of his opinions are insane.” But O’Reilly added that his strength came from a “strain of people who love him” that show up regularly in polls. “Those people who love him better love Obama,” Morris joked.

    Silly O’Reilly, FOX is for kids!! (Oh, and nobody likes you.)

  • B W

    I normally like watching The Factor, but this is just stupid. Yeah, Bill, Ron Paul knows how you ask questions, especially on a video link. You constantly talk over your guest and when they say something unexpected, you jump at them and don’t let them finish. With that said, Ron would be smart to debate this joker, and show the average FOX News viewer what a real Conservative is. PAUL 2012

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ECYBIXNKAG5E46BC3GCJQPA7CQ well_its_no_cannibal_holocaust

    If anyone would know something about an aroma that stinks it is the infamous foot sucker Dick Morris.

  • Quintal

    Probably because Ron Paul knows that Bill doesn’t let his guests talk and makes it all about himself and then selectively picks out emails to make it seem like he won the debate. 

    None of the prime time pundits are worth sitting down with.  What Ron Paul is upset about is that they keep talking about Romney, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Huntsman, Palin, Ryan, Pataki, Christie, and a bunch of people who aren’t even running more than they talk about him even though his campaign is having a bigger impact on this election than the vast majority of the candidates.

  • Steve

     O’Reilly is a classic Over-talker during interviews. The only time he doesn’t do this is when it’s pretty lady, or that time he skinned his knees interviewing the Pres.

  • B W

    Dick Morris represents the ignorant, dumb Neocon.
    ATTENTION, REPUBLICANS: If you want four more years of Obama and his dismantling of the Constitution, then nominate Perry, Bachmann, or Romney. At this point, only Huntsman and Ron Paul have a wide appeal to defeat Obama in the general election. Perry and Bachmann are jokes, and Romney’s past will come back to haunt him, putting aside the Mormonism. Say the same for Huntsman, but at least he has intellect, diplomatic experience, and he doesn’t change his position every five minutes like Romney does.

    Oh, you’ve messed with the wrong bunch now, BillO!

    You forgot Herman Cain…LOL.

    It’s pathetic that a RINO like Gulianni or a nobody like Pataki can get more press coverage than the candidate with the most loyal, vocal and outspoken followers.

    I do think it’s strange how the media will report on the media not covering this guy. We live in total idiocity - a country where a citizen reaches the voting age, but all the candidates, their paid pundits, and their supporters are really, really, stupid!

  • Anonymous

    Ummm….Ron Paul doesn’t want to single handedly go on every interview show and sell himself HE WANTS NORMAL “NEWS” COVERAGE FROM THE MEDIA WHEN HE DOES WELL IN THE POLLS OR MAKES A STUMP SPEECH, WHY CANT O’REILLY UNDERSTAND THAT, IS HE DUMB OR SOMETHING??!!!

    Not to mention that Bill O’Reilly is a boob so a lotta people take a pass on his show.
    Megyn Kelly is two boobs so she has a little better luck.

    O’REILLY: ” “I have said to Mr. Paul’s face that some of his opinions are insane.”  lolol There lies the problem.

  • Anonymous

    Herman Munster Cain is being mentioned less and less. That might be a good thing.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    I’m pretty sure Paul could tie Bill-o in knots. Of course, at air time, it wouldn’t appear that way with Bill-o’s strategic editing and tactical mike cutting.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    No, it lacks the intrinsic appeal to conservatives and republicans a Willie Horton style ad would have.

  • http://games-survival.com Justplaythegame

    The strange thing appealing about Paul besides his followers who actually searched out his opinions, alot of Democrats that have seen disappointment in their current President, also like Paul and what he stands for and would probably vote for him in the final round over any other Republican candidate.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Amongst the Republican candidates, I can find more intersection of beliefs, albeit it a very narrow intersection, with Paul than any of the others, and I have to say this rightist media whine he has taken up seems to be meeting with some success. A good tactical move.

    I’m looking forward to Governor Pataki’s entrance into the race. That will really shake things up.

  • B W

    Oh, I forgot about this gem. Thanks for bringing it up!

  • B W

    Yeah, because Bill might be entertaining but he’s a talking head. I don’t agree with everything Ron Paul says, but when he talks, people listen!

  • Quintal

    Bill will make the whole question about how Ron Paul wants Iran to have nuclear weapons and never let him explain that just because a country has nuclear weapons doesn’t mean they’ll use them, especially when most of their enemies are within the range of nuclear fallout.  That’s why it’s also stupid to think that North Korea will ever nuke South Korea.

  • B W

    Here we go with the race card… Actually, a war would even make Republicans vote for Obama!

  • B W

    As horrible as Obama is, you’re not understanding my point… This upcoming election is the GOP’s to lose. If the American voting population sees the GOP nominee as someone unable to string together some coherent arguments, they won’t take that chance. That’s why Bush was re-elected; He (Bush) may not have been so hot, but the people sure as hell weren’t going to take a chance with someone so disconnected to the American people as Mr. Surfer Kerry.

  • Quintal

    This is true.  It would be nice if they could report the polls without skipping his name or covering what every other candidate says on the campaign trail except for him.  For some reason, I’m sure Ron Paul has said more worthwhile things than Rick Santorum comparing napkins with paper towels or Rick Perry doing the best George W. Bush impersonation since Will Ferrell. 

  • B W

    Ron Paul has the most appeal of any GOP candidate. Even most Tea Partiers have said enough of the wars, stop pissing money down the holes of 7th-century, throwback nations like Pakistan and Libya.

  • B W

    If Kimmy wanted to nuke South Korea, he would’ve done it already. The Neocons don’t understand that trying to pick a fight with the Iranians will only increase the chance of nuke being launched. And even if they did, Israel could handle it without America getting involved, as usual.

  • 12voltman

    Ron Paul,s only insightful view is that we should not be the cops of the world. over 50% of the American budget is spent on the military. More then all the rest of the contries in the word combined. This miltary madness is killing our country the same way it detroyed the USSR while they were in in Afganastan. a no win situation. Someone discribe what is victory in Afganastan

  • B W

    Ron Paul is basically the only candidate in modern history to unite people from different crowds and such. And I’ll assume you were being sarcastic about George Pataki “shaking things up”.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    In the interest of intellectual honesty and fairness, isn’t it just toes?

    Ron Paul never whined about having little media coverage. It’s a fact that they flat out ignored him after he almost won the straw poll and are constantly leaving his name out of conversations and off the polls. If Bill O’Reilly would actually let Ron Paul speak, I’m sure he would be more than happy to go on.

    Keep in mind people….if Bill’O invites you on to his show…you have just seconds to reply yes or be tagged a whiner.

    Why anyone with a message would bother appearing on the Interruption Factor, is beyond me. Might be that Paul may be of the same thought.

    Dear Mr Clown, Ron paul considers you a disgusting lying ass sexual degenerate, a self satisfying sick blowhard who anybody with any common sense avoids, a self promoting bigot with a delusional viewpoint of self importance…me thinks youre a little upset that glen beck has upstaged you and you can no longer claim to be the savior of the free world…perhaps you should get ben stein on you show again…..i enjoy watching you get smacked around on your own show….plus you still have dennis miller and ted nugent

  • insideguy

     I really think it comes down to this. FOX has an agenda,and its not a conservative agenda its a republican agenda. They don’t talk about Paul because they dont want him to run as a third party candidate,which will result in an Obama victory. I think Ron knows that Bill will try and ambush him. And Ron will eventually go on Bills show,but Bill is trying to call him out to look bad.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WH3ZLMM7CUKUHUIMK4TKXW6SQE John

    It would be pointless for Paul to go on the factor.  No one looks Presidential when being interrupted, talked over, and condescended to… including Obama himself.

  • B W

    It’s more than that… The GOP Heads love their power and being able to throw their weight around. As much as Rush Limbaugh sneers at the notion of the media calling him the Titular Head of the GOP, he enjoys swaying Republican voters as much as O’Reilly, Hannity, Levin and Ingraham do, and all their neocon cohorts, as well. Ron Paul threatens this, and thus, must be stopped.

  • B W

    The exception to that rule is a female politician being interviewed by a man. The man always comes out looking like a chauvinistic pig. 

  • Anonymous

    I feel bad for Ron Paul. It’s like his campaign is being passive aggressively sabotaged by the media. He comes off as a genuine person who runs for office to get his message out there, rather than the type who adopts the message of a party just to get into office. It seems almost every election we have these silent campaigns to eliminate someone before they come into serious contention. I never got on board with the third party hatred. All of these politicians try to play up patriotism and democracy until a third party decides to get involved. Then it’s no, no, no, you have to vote for one of these two guys from the same ol’ parties. Don’t go trying anything new.

  • Mathmatix BN

    This is a non story, Ron Paul didnt reply because he didnt know which loofa would have been appropriate for the interview. 

    And besides, the time he was on Megyn Kelly was mid afternoon, Oreilly tapes his shows not too long after that, so it could have just as easily been a case of booked schedules(you know the guy is running for president after all, may have some voters to court).  But don’t expect Oreilly to give you that out.

  • Anonymous

    The media itself is full of crap. And now Bill feels the need to be the defender of it.Ron Paul does get less coverage than the media pick gurus of the people, but far more than other candidates that the media revised out since the beginning. The entire way the news media covers things is simply subpar

  • insideguy

    yep I agree I mean I think ron paul was around 13% in the latest pole maybe higher,but they give more attention to people who aren’t even running(Donald Trump,Sara Palin,Eric Cantor) than a man who is currently third in the poles. Hell I think they give more attention to Herman Cain. I wouldn’t vote for Paul but I do find it interesting how the media manipulates things.

  • insideguy

    Yea Ben Stein did smoke him

  • B W

    Eric Cantor? LOL… I don’t think I’ve seen his name floating around…

  • insideguy

    Oh it was being thrown around last week when republicans weren’t happy with Perry. It only lasted about a week then Cantor said he wasn’t going to run.

  • insideguy

    eh I think Bush won because the economy was still pretty good, and we were in the middle of a war. No president has ever been voted out in the middle of a war like that. I guess LBJ probably would have lost but he didn’t run

    I understand their hesitation.  

    Ron’s message is more philosophic and, let’s face it, O’reilly’s an idiot.

    Last time Ron was on his show, O’reilly said – “We don’t have time for a history lesson”.

    I still would rather Ron go on his show, than avoid it.  

    I’m getting kind of concerned the campaign is getting a bunker mentality.

    They can’t afford to do that.  They need to build bridges to the neocon dark side.

    Then again, when you have such a solid base of supporters, and.. 

    when he gains supporters, they’re their to stay!.. Why mess with O’reilly?

  • B W

    By the time the ’04 election rolled around, support for Iraq already went south. Yes, the economy was good and unemployment was good, but being in the middle of war should never be an excuse to keep a President in office. 

  • B W

    There is no “victory” in Afghanistan, because there’s no legitimate Government, no sovereignty, no peace, no liberty, no nothing at all. And you’re right on that. What I don’t get is why you think it’s Ron Paul’s “only” insightful view? He applies foreign policy to his domestic policy arguments: He doesn’t believe the Federal Government should go around and play the role of Mommy and Daddy to every American.

  • Texan

    Ron Paul should point out that Ronald Reagan was considered “unelectable” in 1976 because of his “extreme views”.  

    Ron Paul was one of only 4 Congressmen who endorsed Ronald Reagan in 1976.  

    Instead, the GOP chose Gerald Ford as the “sure thing” to defeat Jimmy Carter.  

    Meanwhile, Rick Perry was Al Gore’s campaign manager in Texas in 1988.  

    Put it that way, and any Republican who refuses to choose Paul over Perry ought to have their head examined.

    I stumbled upon O’Reillys’ radio show one morning driving to work.  I forget who he was interviewing, but everytime he asked a question and the guest started to answer he barged in like a raging bull and wouldn’t let the person finish answering the question.  This went on for 15 minutes.  It was like this dick head was interviewing himself.  I gave him the benefit of the doubt and tuned in the next morning and he did the same thing to another poor soul.  Not my idea of entertainment.  Guy needs a reality check.

    You’re out of your mind my friend; FOX news is the most slanted garbage ever produced.  Billy O is clueless, which is why he resorts to actually muting the mics of his guests, and talks over them.  When that’s not enough he just cuts out ANY part of his interviews where he might come off unfavorable to his audience.  You might as well be watching world wrestling entertainment or jerry springer; wait you probably do huh, my bad.  Meanwhile Ron Paul is the ONLY GOP candidate who has any chance against Obama. You really think that the majority of rational voters in this country are really going to vote for Bachmann, Perry, Palin, or Romney? No way in hell. You’ve got much to learn in life, and I wish you the best on your quest to reality.

    Facts or proof…… look up Paul’s record; it’s clean and honest. The man has nothing to hide and never lies. The more you speak, the more ignorant you make yourself look. There’s a whole WORLD of information out there. Do some research my friend, and stop taking the all the b.s. you see on FOX tv at face falue.

    The Gallup in itself is completely bogus. No one actually votes in these ‘polls,’ at least no one the public gets to know about, or how they select these people. It’s all based on ‘intense research’ conducted by Gallup, and no one outside their organization can see the details. Their claims are nothing more than propaganda as well. Real polls are taken by real people, and are visible to all. Ron Paul wins or comes in near first in these types of polls regularly. If only the mainstream crowd was allowed to see this on TV, since most are too lazy or ignorant to do their own research.

    You might want to look up the definition of FACT my friend. It doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.

    He can do that without giving in to the likes of billy O. Who wants to take part in a highly edited and muted interview. billy O’s show is putrid.

    Unfortunately our nation’s system would allow him no chance of winning as a ‘libertarian’ candidate, otherwise he would. Ron Paul needs the educated republicans who are left to wake up, and the people out in the bleachers to register republican and vote for him. There are even many democrats who like a fair share of Paul’s stances.

    Well, for one thing, Paul would uphold the Constitution, even if he didn’t agree with an aspect of the Constitution and the law(s) put in place through the Constitution.  For example, Paul is a Christian, but he would defer to the Constitution, not his Christian faith, with respect to any political position he may be required to hold as the leader of the free world.

    Foxes number 1 show is putrid? Obvious why Paul has no chance.

  • Valkyrie101

    I wasn’t aware that Paul was a Constitutional expert.

    Bill O’Reilly is a jack-ass.  He doesn’t understand why Ron Paul didn’t jump at the opportunity to go on his show (he just hasn’t heard from his campaign, but the 2 hour deadline to do so wasn’t met) so now he mocks and belittles Ron.  Gee giant gas-bag BillO, what would it take for you to behave like an adult and not act like a spoiled child?

    Ron Paul Adds Constitutional Law Expert to 2012 Campaign

    “I am honored to advance the Republican presidential aspirations of Ron Paul. He is the only candidate in the field who understands and practices the constitutional principles and philosophy of the Founding Fathers that made this nation a government of the people, by the people, for the people,” Fein said in a press release regarding the appointment. “He is the only candidate who knows that limited government and war are antonyms, not synonyms. He is the only candidate who repudiates aimless, endless wars at extravagant expense. And Dr. Paul is the only candidate that recognizes that the glory of a Republic is liberty, not domination.”

    I listen/watch both MSNBC and Fox.  They both spew slanted garbage. They’re both biased.  They both slant the news.

    Oh, I completely agree. CNN is the best of the bunch, and it too is pretty bad. If you want the truth about most issues, you must do your own research. Most Americans would rather not be bothered; they just believe what they hear/see on TV. sigh……

    @d34df9718790d847c1b259ac3596658d:disqus  The Rock: Hello, I am a communications major in school and although you say Bill O’Reilly doesn’t edit his “news” to make himself look good you’re completely wrong. In school I have been taught that news in general, which is supposed to be the intelligent, unbiased truth, has to have appeal. Now adding appeal to something is adding a bias to it no matter how you look at the situation. Now I won’t even start with appeal, I’ll come back to that topic in a bit, but let’s talk about a theoretical news corporation that is supposed to be the most unbiased news source in the world. Now that news source isn’t actually unbiased because by choosing to report certain bits of information and not report other bits of information, a person is inherently being biased. Now of course this means that it is nearly impossible to get a completely unbiased form of news, even if the source tries their best to be as specific as possible. For example, if I am writing an article for my school newspaper I choose quotes that seem appealing and intelligent and leave out quotes that seem mundane or insignificant. Simply doing that is a bias, because I am biased about what information I am choosing to share. 
    Now getting back to that idea of appeal. All big media takes this approach of choosing and not choosing to share bits of information to the most extreme of extremes. Everything is selected in order to create and keep an audience these days, especially since big news corporations are on the decline since the decentralization of communication. If you don’t know what that means go look it up please because it takes some time to explain, but basically it refers to the increase of independent journalists and the decrease of major comm institutions since the creation of the internet. So finding fair news is in short, very difficult. (It’s also why you’re starting to hear about Justin Bieber’s most recent break up for five minutes after finding out that three people in your local neighborhood were brutally murdered for only a thirty second spot. I know, it’s sad.) Also, news corporations must please the people by which they are getting funded and their motives, so for that reason, even more news gets cut out.
    Now, getting to Bill Reilly, who is by definition a political commentator. This means he cannot be a journalist, which also means that Ron Paul is correct in that aspect. Why can’t he be a journalist? The reason he cannot be a journalist is because commentary by definition implies opinion. So if Bill O’Reilly was in a newspaper he would be in the Op Ed section. This also gives him leeway to edit his show in any way he chooses, and take the Constitution out of context, which is the case here. 
    Here’s also a good quote regarding the constitutionality of the Gold Standard that I found on another forum. What’s funny is that the original article was trying to debunk the Gold Standard but this commenter had a wary eye and pointed out directly the trouble with that article. 

    “”No State shall
    enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters ofMarque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thingbut gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill ofAttainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation ofContracts, or grant any Title of Nobility;”
    while you correct in stating that the constitution doesn’t specifically limit the right of congress to coin money which is made of other metals than gold and silver, it DOES explicitly prohibit the states from recognizing it as legal tender.  This, de facto, makes it illegal for Federal Reserve notes to be traded as legal tender in the states of the United States.  Sure, the congress could theoretically create bills of credit and use them with the federal reserve while inside the corporate municipality of Washington D.C. for the purposes of paying for the business of congress, inside of that municipality only, however for the states and citizens of the states to recognize a federal reserve bill of credit as a form of currency is not legal for the states themselves.  This was the intended purpose of the founders in making this rule.   it is obvious in the fact that there are 2 rules to the states, one is to prohibit them from being able to “coin money” and the other is the prohibition from being able to “make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts”.  It is clear here that “make… a tender” does not mean actually coining the money, it means recognizing as tender.  Because if “coin money” means to create a form of currency, then it would be redundant to say that they were not allowed to coin things out of other materials than gold and silver, as they are not allowed to coin anything at all.”"
    Continue reading at NowPublic.com: Debunking The Gold Standard: The Myth of Legality | NowPublic News Coverage http://www.nowpublic.com/debunking_gold_standard_myth_legality#ixzz1XodDTnoS Our money system right now is completely unstable anyways and the Gold Standard is a good idea even if Constitutional issues weren’t factored in. Instead of giving a good argument for our current system or some other system, Mr. O’Reilly dodges what could be an intelligent conversation and tries to point out Constitutional issues, which as I just pointed out, are not really issues at all. Now why did he avoid the question? The answer is because their is no better alternative system, and our current system is terrible and will lead this nation into ruin. Our government keeps devaluing our money by printing more and more of it to pay it’s international debts because when money is printed, since that money isn’t based on any physical resource, it’s value goes down. In theory we could possibly pay China back our debts with a loaf of bread if we printed out enough money, because that loaf of bread would then be worth trillions of dollars. Now isn’t that ridiculous? So yeah, in summation Ron Paul wins this one, at least for me anyways.
