Yes, I agree with you and don't want to get too carried away with this but here you have a guest who IS partisan politics and all the lies, slander and spin and everything that goes with it and he doesn't even call him on any of it. I'm not saying he had to go as far as he did on Crossfire but he kinda tossed the softball questions to him, when that is the same thing he is accusing the Crossfire guys of doing. I know his show is comedy and I heard his excuse that it follows a show about puppets making crank calls, but he has an outlet where he has the ability to challenge these people and the corporate media propaganda machines that they represent, but he chooses not too... I don't know. I was just hoping, after seeing him on CNN, that he was going to round some corner and at least attempt to question them about such things. I wouldn't mind seeing O'Reilly sweat a little on a Comedy Central program. He can do it without playing into partisanship or acting as the Kerry supporter.
