Bill O’Reilly And Code Pink Founder Agree On ‘Hypocrisy’ Of MSNBC’s War Coverage

Bill O’Reilly and Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin strangely agreed regarding the mainstream liberal reaction to President Obama’s efforts in Libya. However, when it came to discussing American involvement in Libya, O’Reilly and Benjamin could not have disagreed more.

O’Reilly played clips of Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz both suggesting that Obama deserves the benefit of the doubt and is essentially a reluctant warrior who might go to war, but at least rallies the international community. O’Reilly doubted that if President George W. Bush took the exact same steps he would have received such a positive reaction. Benjamin agreed, saying “hypocrisy comes to mind,” and ultimately wished Obama’s policy was being subjected to harsher scrutiny by everyone in the media.

Benjamin argued that Obama “is a president who has given us more war, not less war” and seemed to think that he wasn’t deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. Benjamin and O’Reilly got along great until O’Reilly switched the topic to what actually should be done with Libya. Benjamin re-argued that the Iraq war was not worth fighting and that intervention in Libya now isn’t justified either.
