NPR Smackdown: Gross v. O'Reilly

Terry Gross, host on NPR's Fresh Air, interviewed Al Franken and then Bill O'Reilly a few weeks later. Gross and Al Franken had an informative, entertaining interview. Gross and O'Reilly also had an informative, entertaining interview, especially the informative and entertaining part where O'Reilly tells her to "find another line of work" and walks out on her.

As easy as this would be to chalk up to O'Reilly being thin-skinned, Gross was very tough on him. And here's where FOX News can learn from the liberal press: NPR's ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin discusses the listeners' reactions and offers his own opinion where he says that, in the end, the interview was unfair to O'Reilly.
