Is the Tyra Banks Cover Proof That Obama is Presumptuous?

[BabyK71482]

Love the black guy who makes sense. Why is Bill insulting Tyra? Maybe he's jealous cause she's a black women with more money then him and has a bigger fan base.

[hollaboutit]

a person who doesn't say, "i don't know", is an idiot.

[maintem]

boy he is tryin to suck up to whites hahahaha

[mrpatricksims]

I started to comment and then I decided this video is not worthy of it.

[DiggityDoglikeDogg]

return to tradition? were we ever a united people?

[buggeazy102]

@DiggityDoglikeDogg NEVER

[fhjda]

hahah wth is this, because of tyra's magazine shoot that means obama's feels entitled?? wtf??

[GRIMLOCK84]

I hope Obama wins!

[bummercucumber]

I recommend you read 'Racial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness'.

[PurchaseTheProduct]

uh oh. What the hell was that?!? lmfao

[PhantomLyric]

I think that Barack is confident, not pretentious.

[wesv71]

Did any notice how edited that video was. "Do you have any doubts", "No". Doubts about what, we didn't even know what was being talked about. O'Reily is such an idiot

[Hobo8A]

I Would LOVE To Punch Bill O'Reilly In The Face...

[mike7743]

oh O'Reilly

[untitledtrakk]

That dudes arguement was so much better than O'reilly's. Obama shows that he has class by not responding to those attacts.

[prideventures]

Just to listen to him say "I know for a fact" about something about Obama just is so ignorant....he calls Tyra a "swell friend" when Tyra just met the guy and could not actually be called a friend...then says she gives him money - he is so ridiculous.....then says that he is arrogant based on comments by people...what people? No spin factor...what a inappropiate name...then calls McCain a "normal" guy...someone that never wanted for anything, and is now very wealthy? I love McCain but Orielly :(

[Eaglesfaninca]

Celebrities, and Actors who like Obama, democrats and liberals. Oreilly hates them, and features them as "pinheads". But conservative, republican celebrities just happen to land their own segment on his show (Dennis Miller).

[sma94]

How does this old, disrespectful fuck still have a job? Someone please take him out... and I mean it exactly that way

[Madzombie51]

I feel sorry for you Americans having this self proclaimed "reporter" on TV. Serious, how can anyone with half a brain even listen to this absurd crap. Obama pretentious and arrogant? hah, tape yourself and have a good look at yourself colonial douchebag.

[Eaglesfaninca]

And he is know by right wingers as an "independent". Scary isn't it?

[iman22haya]

who cares. fox is a bunch of haters, they're just jealous

[12tribesdeep]

black dude had to ask o reilly could he see a sista. masta said no. lol. (disclaimer-i'm african american)jesse lee peterson is a prophet

[criticalage]

WOuldn't TYRA be crossing the line? Unbelievable! How unprofessional!

[wavycrockett420]

mccain is a shitstain....vote obama

[raylioutw]

Silly FOX, propaganda is for kids

[missfashionfoward]

O'Reilly is a racist animal , who does he think he is?? He's nothing but a lousy trailer trash

[rottweilerdog08]

just because someone uses the words BLACK and WHITE to describe people, doesnt mean they are racist. nigger and honkey etc is racist. the first is just policital correctness running rampant and being faaaaaaaaaar to over the top. the uptight pretenciousness is so pathetic. people should toughen the fuck up

[12tribesdeep]

i like pitbulls

[Jis4joel]

of course fox news would try to diss Obama

[texasmama101]

rasict! he sucks!

[MoskvaKalls]

Has anyone noticed that all of McCain's ads are attack ads? They mention little about policy. What a loser.

[midnitemoonmindless]

I don't like Obama, but there are some things about him I do like. I believe this is a good, fair and interesting interaction between O'Reilly and Hill.

I agree with the statement that the Harper shoot will not sway swing voters one way or the other. Those of us that bother to make the effort to go out and vote are smart enough not to pay too much time to a fluffy photo shoot in which Banks, and not the model representing Obama, is in the center of each shot.

[grapplerke]

Wow, Marc Lamont Hill is very very articulate. More African American kids should see him as a role model, not LeBron James or Kobe Bryant.

[efeez1986]

Why not all three? All three are successful black men who takes care of their families and who are good fathers with fulfilling careers. Lebron and Kobe aren't inferior to Dr. Hill just because they play basketball.

[Eaglesfaninca]

True. But how many kids are born gifted with that kind of athletic ability? People need to be realistic.

[alynettegsu]

I'm Black and I agree. There are millions of Black men of excellence like Marc Hill but, don't get the coverage as your local criminal, rappers and athletes.

[secondheaven80]

this is whats wrong with the world, most media outlets r owned by old white men, now think about what image they r trying to represent???? and then compare the media coverage between white criminals n black criminals???????? just in the US alone blacks r a minority, yet that minority gets the majority of -ve media coverage, u also need to look at the what the viewers want, its also about supply n demand

[themasterbakerrr]

PS: *Love* Dr. Lamont, he's always great.

[themasterbakerrr]

It's bad that Obama's confident and carries himself with authority? That's a deficiency in a presidential candidate now? Oh yeah, maybe a black one. Put nigger back in his place, right?

[love112489]

barack obama is a rock star???.....lol

[ladyrt23]

Who doesn't Tyra wish she could be like? She lives to be in the spotlight. 2 Kudos for her.

Overall, Marc Lamont and Bill made some good points. Marc states that if you'd let this "silly" photo shoot speak for Obama's character then you wasn't gonna vote for him anyway. Bill states that if Barack doesn't want to be perceived in a certain way, he should say that isn't who he is.

By far the best O'reily segment I've seen.

[ssmannequin]

BILL O"REILLY IS A RACIST PIECE OF SHIT

why doesnt he attack McCain?

because he is racist.

its widly known

take him off the air

[ladyrt23]

Bill would argue against any Democrat running for President. However, he is attacking Obama more because of his color and his status. They didn't expect a man of color to be so popular and embraced by so many. So they're frightened. I love how they say they don't know the man and that he isn't a war hero. Bush never saw a war unless it was on tv. Half of those white cats were probably awarded and didn't save one life. It's a noted fact that they'd award a white man over a black man.

[slimjoe2]

u seems to be clever but not every americans see it in your own perspective.

[MistahRipstah]

if someone of the same color doesnt like obama, does that make him racist? thats jumping to conclusions with false accusations, he doesnt say "obamas" kind, he speaks of him as a democrat, not a black man.

i agree i dont like obama for his deceitfulness of his skin, he acts all african american, when hes half and half, and he says "our kind" and etc, anyone who is, was, or going to be supporters of jeremiah wright....is the prime example

[BernardFour]

I agree 100% with Marc Lamont Hill, american people can think by themselves so an Harper's Bazaar mag won't change people's view in politics.

[PoliticalssIdiot]

Billo, still a factor!

[mcneal112007]

I really hope barack dnt win...

Im black but i still Dnt think he should win...

Its Just not right

[pharmceaz84]

WOW lol

[fizzy6000]

One final Bill O'Reilly quote pretty much sums up the bias "It's not my job to deconstruct anything, particularly in Barak Obama's case since I don't know the man", but O'Reilly does seem to think it his job to CONSTRUCT an image of Obama in the first place as shown moments earlier when he says Obama is pretentious and modeled himself on JFK. Add to this the continued emphasis that "people" might think he's arrogant, pious, etc. and what I see is O'Reilly CONSTRUCTING an image of Obama...

[fizzy6000]

(continued from my post below): he's rather overemphasizing an insignificant part of what Hill said, and O'Reilly also uses symantics and tone to dismiss Hill's pertinent points and basically bring into question Hill's own integrity - which should be irrelevent but serves O'Reilly well because by association if Hill looks silly then so does Obama.

I could deconstruct this entire segment and point out the little subtle/clever things that O'Reilly does to advance his/Fox's political slant (cont

[fizzy6000]

(continued from my post below:) is dismissive of Mr (Dr.) Hill's answers, it becomes clear that this entire segment is geared toward running down and discrediting Obama as a candidate.

Hill is brought on to give an opinion which when asked by O'Reilly he offers. However, instead of O'Reilly accepting Hill's opinion he says 2 things immediately following that again suggests his bias against Obama, the first being that he 'pretends' to be 'rephrasing' Hill's answer, but in fact he's not (contd)

[fizzy6000]

(continued from my post below): Fox News & Bill O'Reilly clearly have a blatent political position which they unashamedly promote on there network - which I find shocking for a 'news' show. I sincerely hope that Americans that watch Fox question what is being fed to them by O'Reilly and his ilk. If not, it's a sad state (and scary) state of affairs and one can only imagine how influential Fox News must be in the US.

If you look at the way O'Reilly sets up this interview, controls it (contd.)

[fizzy6000]

As an outside observer of the US presidential elections (I'm UK based but not British) it has been startling to see how different sectors of the (seemingly very influential) US media have covered the presidential race.

Bill O'Reilly and Fox News in particular seem incredibly biased in their so-called 'balanced' coverage of the candidates.

I appreciate that there have always been left and right wing slanted media organizations around the world, but Fox appear to take it to the next level.

[zadonix]

What's the connection between a model's photoshoot to a random man's "presumptuousness?"

Unless you're not a brain-dead racist wimp, that is.

[BernardFour]

you're sooooooo right.

[allencrider]

Bill O'Reilly is a big fat liar. So are you. I'm voting for Obama.
