Right now the Left wants Tea Parties demonized and constitutionalists made to appear like nutties. If you are a well-spoken conservative who can think on your feet and has no problem taking on the liberals in an effective manner, your choice is to go on some Fox show because none of the others will invite you.

O'Reilly is constantly calling out for his opposition to come on his show.
You'll notice that liberal heads do not do that - they want to spew unopposed because they know their views do not stand up to scrutiny.

You think Madow could take O'Reilly 2 out of 3 in a wrestling match?

And her reputation would have blossomed and furthered her conservative credentials and career.

This was in a give and take, not a planned "You say this, I say that".

Unless, of course, the MEDIA controls EVERYTHING, including what one might say in the heat of the moment?

Isn't it funny that MSNBC blasts FNC in every sentence spoken on their network for being "conservative" like it is equal to being a pedophile or something yet they never say comment on their own bias?

No. But it is predictable. Therefore, if you know what your opponent is going to do, forewarned is forearmed.

I figured everyone knew by now that these things aren't off the cuff - they are typically mapped out in advance, with both host and guest having an idea of what each other is going to say. If guest does not agree to not make the host look like a fool, they won't be booked on the show.

You just watched the Maddow clip where she tripped up Gordon and then he tripped her up. And you're telling me that when people are grasping about for an answer to a question when things are getting heated that that is just how good of actors they all are?

Good Lord, if she roasted barnacles ass, especially if it was outside of script, she'd be on FOX and Hannity that night and have a book deal by morning and wouldn't need MSNBC.
