This is the same disgusting sleazeball that ambushes the homeless for fun and profit. He’s a waste of space.

If he’d tried that with Trump his bodyguard would have slammed him into the wall and knocked him even more senseless.

I was wondering, has this guy done this to other serious candidates? Or is it just Sanders? I can’t even picture him doing it to Hillary.

Their mocking of Sanders shows me they’re terrified of him.

Hillary has Secret Service protection. Discretion; better part of valor, etc. Bernie is a “soft” target and O’Malley, Webb and Chaffee just aren’t important enough.

I dunno about that; but it does reconfirm my opinion that Fox News is a journalistic cloaca.

The press secretary should have dropped-kicked the Fox reporter in the balls.

you just know this guy’s wet dream is for someone to finally haul off and slug him, even though that’s exactly what he deserves. I have always despised these ambush interviews. It’s a cheap trick ripped off from sleazy local TV news.

They tried this with a CA legislator recently and he brilliantly and repeatedly replied that he only dealt with legitimate journalists and the ambusher was not a legitimate journalist. Case solved.

Mr. Sanders has huge crowds following him, he was ‘‘respectfully’’ ambushed by BLM. Now it’s Fox, where is his security, secret service or otherwise he needs protection.

Wow, if anything highlights the decay and corruption of American mass media news it would be the FOX ambush. Trading on a classic trope of old-style, family-owned, government-regulated free media and their elderly viewer’s golden memories of trust and veracity to push a wide variety of smear needs for special interests, a realistic appraisal of the media marketplace would indicate a classic journalism ambush interview likely hasn’t taken place anywhere in more than 2 decades.

“You’re obnoxious, but you’re obnoxious for a reason,” O’Reilly said.

and that reason is shitty. But it’s a reason!
