Watch. Discuss. Honest and straight up.
I love how the guy from Fox says “Obama is about to be…umm has a good shot at being the next President.” (5:55). That more or less confirms it eh? Haha
Brilliant!!! He left that grunt speechless!! Father Mike let that guy pull nothing. Fox guy kept trying tp split hairs and father mike wouldn’t have it. I normally detest anything/anyone related to any religion but my hat goes off to this guy!!

That was solid gold. I as well am not a big fan of organized religion, but I’ll say that Father Mike kicks ass for the lord!!! Seriously, that reporter was a complete jerk.
my favorite point made–when the father tells the shill reporter to look back to the front end of the king speech. father mike is obviously an historian. the hack looks like a cop who needs to get his end of the month speeding tickets up to quota.
thanks afra.
Did this ever make it onto the air? It just doesn’t seem legit to me. I would think if it was actually from Fox News it would have the ticker at the bottom and there would be some kind of break in by a host. It looks more like someone just asked the priest questions and someone else put the Fox logo at the bottom of the screen. Not to mention most of their segments last about 40 seconds, not 10 minutes.
great point cooter.
you know it looks more like it was filmed with a home video camera meaning the source came from some where other than Fox…if that was for fox, they aren’t gonna let that see the light of day (or they’re going to edit the crap out of it to make Father Mike look bad) the only thing I could suggest to verify if it’s fox is to see if the interviewer is the same guy that O’riely always sends out to hassle people.
10 minute interview and no FOx ticker at the bottom just means it hasn’t been edited yet. I just thik it was a seperate person video taping (two cameras there not just the fox camera). What sad is Fox has no credibility so this could very well be faked and it would seem like normal business for fox (the Ambush i mean) Also could’ve been a local fox affiliate and not actually “FOX NEWS”

When they interview people, they don’t show every second of it on a report. They tend to show maybe only a few minutes, unless it’s a special “Interview with xxx” for example. They usually just take the samples and play them accordingly. This probably wasn’t aired as is, but snippets were, even for just 30 seconds. It’s unedited. Knowing Fox, none of this was aired most probably.
Also in the interview Bill O’Reilly was mentioned by the Father (who is known), so I doubt it’s someone posing it as Fox - it probably is Fox.
Got this from Crooksandliars.com
Turns out the man in the video above is a Catholic priest by the name of Rev. Michael Pfleger, and apparently Bill O’Reilly did use a part of the interview above on his show. Approximately 5 seconds of it. On April 2. And yet, despite how well Pfleger deflects the nonsense tossed at him by O’Reilly’s ambush reporter (as seen in the above, not on his show) O’Reilly has been flogging the same “racist, hate-monger” nonsense for weeks.
As if that’s not bad enough, after the 5 seconds shown from the above interview, O’Reilly went on to do a full 6 minute segment discussing whether or not…wait for it…Pfleger should be sanctioned by the Catholic Church!
