No challenging questions for Stuart---20 minutes of nothing but challenging quesions for O'Bill.
Chummy comraderie for Stuart--cold silence for O'Bill....
Her whole demeanor is different--she continues trying to make Smalley's case to Bill.
Bill says I hope you were just as tough w/ him as me-- I hope you scrutinized him as closely as you are me... She certainly didn't.
She's now trying to make Franken's points again--same ones for the third time.
He's getting pissed---and I don't blame him.
For fukk sakes...O'Reilly is without humor or any other quality which might redeem his performances on radio or TV.
The fundamental difference in those two interviews is determined by the same difference that would appear if Gross (or anyone sane) interviewed first Will Rogers and then Joe McCarthy.
At about minute 34, he tries to explain the bias of reviewing Franken's 'book'--not Franken--but they review O'Bill, rather than his books. That's bias, people, plain and simple.
She likes to read the bad reviews.
He got her good. He said "Did you do this to Al Franken." Finally, she had to admit it. Any reasonable person can see this is biased.
For her to then read a negative comment in his absence is the Empty Chair interview--a gutter habit of yellow journalism.
Her lowest point ever.
I can't stand O'R, but he was right about her.
Take a charming righty and a surly lefty and one's impressions could certainly be reversed.
The hair-pulling idiocy in this comparison is to consider that the important element is political affiliation.
Imagine two interviews done by (pick your interviewer), the first with Rush Limbaugh and the second with Jon Stewart.

I know heard both interviews. I can confirm that Gross giggled with Franken. When she giggled in the O'Reilly interview, O'Reilly had unfortunately just left so couldn't join into the giggle.
Another difference I noticed is that Al Franken is funny while O'Reilly is just paranoid. Maybe this somehow affected her willingness to giggle.
Didn't say YOU were.
But that last interchange makes me begin to wonder....
If I don't, will you have a hissy fit, accuse me of criminal activity, and storm off in a huffy?
Dys sold his Huff, and drives a Porsche now . . . and he ought to be paranoid, because we are out to get him . . .

absolutely, I will fly to OZ visit your abode, wiz in your sink. I mean it!
Dys, you know what this is about, doncha? She is just trying to make you say something that she can make you look stupid with at moveon.org.
