O’Reilly Takes Shot at AP for Calling His Questions to Obama ‘Republican’

On Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, Bill O’Reilly finished up a discussion about his pre-Superb Owl interview with President Barack Obama by taking a swipe at the AP and other news outlets for characterizing his selection of questions as partisan.

Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck began by praising what she seemed to think was bipartisan praise of O’Reilly’s interview. “You united everyone in terms of how they felt about the interview,” she said. “It was certainly fair, it was tough, and you followed up on a number of points that Americans deserve answers on.”

“I don’t know if everybody felt that way,” O’Reilly said. “I was watching the cable competition last night, and the unusual suspects are going, ‘Oh! A Republican!’ The Associated Press, their headline of the interview was: ‘President Obama Defends Himself from Republican Charges.’ These aren’t questions that all Americans should be interested in? No. Just Republicans should be. And it’s just — they’ll never be honest about it.”
