Bill walks out on Terry Gross

Talk about fireworks on the radio! Fresh Air has an interview with Bill O’Reilly [RealAudio] that rivals her interview with Gene Simmons of KISS for tension and spirited, verbal intercourse. Bill took umbrage with Terry’s questions and accused her of being harder on him than she had been in her interview with Al Franken [RealAudio].

In particular she gave Bill a chance to defend himself against negative remarks made by others. She asked Al Franken similar questions about negative remarks about him made by others.

While the tone is more light-hearted with Al Franken it’s clear that Bill came in with a chip on his shoulder. Al Franken is a comedian and Bill O’Reilly is not. Naturally Al’s is lighter. Listening: Fresh Air Interviews
