Listening to NPR’s Fresh Air interview with Bill O’Reilly in its entirety, it’s clear that his cult of personality is just as obsessed with “defamation of character” as Rush Limbaugh is with the so-called liberal media. Apparently, it’s a hot button that’s all-too-easy to push and works like clockwork after the tenth mentioning of the name Al Franken.

“This is basically an unfair interview designed to try to trap me into saying something that Harper’s can use. … And that is the end of this interview.”

I don’t know exactly what that means, although I can gather the implication, but it sure makes for a theatrical exit.
