How To Go Head-to-Head With O'Reilly on The Factor
Series: A View to Media
From: Paul Levinson
Length: 00:03:48
I've been on The O'Reilly Factor a few times in the past few years. People often ask me how I manage to get a word in edgewise. Here I give some advice, along with an example from my January 2004 appearance on The Factor, in which O'Reilly and I went head-to-head over Catherine Bosley, former news anchor for a local CBS station in Youngstown, OH, who was taped taking off her clothes in a wet t-shirt contest in Florida while on vacation. (Preview: I think she did nothing wrong.) You can see the actual interview over on YouTube - search on O'Reilly and Levinson - or go to www.youtube.com/user/PLev20062006 - or, if you'd like a more quiet setting, at paullevinson.blogspot.com or lightonlightthrough.com
