Say what you want about the Geraldo vs. O'Reilly faceoff on "The O'Reilly Factor," on Thursday night, but say this, too--it was compelling television. The two men were debating illegal immigration.
YouTube has it, among other sites. And it's even generated enough buzz to
make the wires.
I am not sure that I have seen anything quite so intense on TV: two certified heavyweights, going at it, on equal terms. And yet at the end, hot as it was, O'Reilly graciously gave Geraldo the last word. And both will still, of course, be on Fox in the future, because Fox makes no attempt to censor its talent.
