Big bad Billy O is at it again: insults, threats and cowardice. I have asked Billy to debate the merits of my film, OUTFOXED, over and over again. He name calls, he attacks, he diverts. But one thing he doesn't seem to have the guts to do is have a real discussion about the facts of OUTFOXED. I spent six months on the film and am happy to engage Billy in talking about the thousands of examples, day after day, of Fox News bias. But so far the fear factor seems to dominate. Billy can yell, he can scream, he can threaten, but from the safety of his studio at Fox News.
My proposal: he come out from behind the microphone and we engage in talking about the reality of Fox News and its provable bias in a neutral setting where he can't be the scorekeeper and referee at the same time. I guess with his ratings in free fall he is nervous about doing anything else that can hurt his decreased standings. And the fact that the News Hounds continue to fact check him every day makes it harder for him to hide behind distortions. (The News Hounds were the great Fox watchers who made OUTFOXED possible and they now have their own site where they proudly proclaim: "We watch Fox so you don't have to".)
