Both Bill O'Reilly and Jon Stewart are among the plethora of media personalities interviewing Scott McClellan on his new tell-all book, "What Happened".

This segment takes a brief look at the differing styles and values of O'Reilly versus Stewart. Could the contrasting styles and priorities be seen as classic models of the authoritarian versus the liberal ethos?

1. God, I wish you had your own TV spot......
Clear messages are so few and far between. All the spin, all the allegiance, all the fear of getting black balled, etc. The FrankFactor lays it out, nice and clear.

I was expecting you to use the portion where bor goes ballistic on mcclellan. I think mcclellan wet his pants, and I saw steam coming out of bor's ears and a sharp flame coming out of his anus...or mouth. What a scumbag. All I could think of is "Why did scott permit himself to be put in front of this sack of bloviating chicken shit?"

2. He wasn't even asking
More like forcibly telling in the form of a rhetorical question. Trying to imply greatest inferiority that he's letting these people do it to him.

3. Great vid
The contrast is amazing, but not surprising.

Stewart is concerned about the country.

O'Reilly is concerned about the president's ego.

There's a special place in hell for this administration and it's enablers.

5. Thanks Everyone...
I thought about that section where BOR went all spity and foamy but I didn't want the segment to run too long and I just thought it was so perfectly Republican for BOR to spin and sell spinning as a patriotic duty.

I really thought Stewart hit a lot of the important aspects of the whole mess. Such a talent.

I appreciate your supportive comments very much. DU is such a tremendous asset.

6. Frank, I am afraid this will get lost in tonight's excitement. K&R.
And it is an excellent black and white demonstration of how differently Stewart and O'Reilly work.

10. Thanks, Frank
Thanks for doing this video. But may I suggest cutting JS and BO (heh, BO) together closer, and more often. It would make a bigger punch imo.

11. Frank Factor: please don't allow confusion with other sites such as TYT.
Word to the wise: get an attorney.

20. Perfect juxtaposition..
The contrast between those two clips couldn't be clearer. I saw both full interviews and you did find the most illustrative parts of each.

I particularly relished the audience reaction to Jon's charges of criminality..
