Rachel Maddow Hits Back at Bill O'Reilly: Fox News Trying to Scare White People (VIDEO)

by Jeremy Taylor, posted Aug 9th 2010 12:48AM
After Bill O'Reilly accused Rachel Maddow of spreading what he believes to be the false and "preposterous" theory that Fox News wants to frighten white people by reporting negatively about black people, Maddow struck back on 'The Rachel Maddow Show' (Weeknights, 9PM on MSNBC).

Playing the old video gotcha game, Maddow was able to produce a clip in which O'Reilly talks about how blacks are more likely to favor a bigger federal government than whites, which she offers as proof that Fox News hypes stories about "scary black people taking white people's stuff."

She also added that she has "no interest" in pulling an Olbermann and playing "cable news insult ping pong" with O'Reilly, but that's a bit hard to believe because she seems to be having herself an awfully good time doing exactly that.

Check out the entire 6-minute 'Maddow' clip below:

It's not like people sit and listen to the things Bill O'Reilly or Maddow say, or anything. I mean, come on, people listening to the news and getting ideas from what they say? Media news sites have a duty to present things in a non-biased manner so people get the right idea, not one idea.

I'm supposed to be scared because some demographic favors some kind of government policy on social issues?
