Obama O'Reilly

Barack will try to distract from John McCain's acceptance speech Thursday night by appearing, for the first time, on The Factor with Bill O'Reilly. The two parties reached agreement on a detente after a personal meeting between Obama and Fox News Chief Roger Ailes. 

During the sit-down in a Waldorf-Astoria hotel suite in Manhattan that included Rupert Murdoch, the network's owner, Obama expressed concern about the way Fox was covering him. "I just wanted to know if I'm going to get a fair shake from Fox News Channel," Ailes recalled him saying.
