The Complete Guide on How to Deal with Bill O'Reilly's ambush producers
By John Amato Thursday Jun 12, 2008 2:20pm
UPDATED on 3/24/09: After Bill O'Reilly's despicable attack on fellow blogger Amanda Terkel, I wanted to make sure that the tools for fighting back against this abrogation of the basic rules of civility is available to everyone.
Bill O'Reilly uses typical tabloid journalism tactics to sneak up and sandbag you intentionally, so you will be off guard and a bit unprepared to answer his questions. Usually one of his minions seeks out people who refuse to appear on his show or are unavailable for commenting on a particular topic that offends O'Reilly. In many cases O'Reilly is really trying to hound people who call him out for his buffoonery.
So he'll send his team to your house or apartment -- someplace that used to be off-limits -- so you will be vulnerable. If you have family members or loved ones nearby, their privacy has been violated too. O'Reilly catches people unloading their groceries in their driveways in a way that exposes people by publicizing where they live to a potentially lunatic public. It's really a nasty tactic.
These are the types of interviews his ambush producers -- including wanker extraordinaire Jesse Watters, aka the Falafel Flunkie -- revel in. Not many of us would have the grace to handle it the way Bill Moyers does here. So without any further ado, here's my simple guide on how to deal with Bill O'Reilly's level of unprofessionalism:
1) When Watters and crew jump out of a bush or from behind a parked car and surprise you, don't be shocked. Instead just smile and say, "You must be Jesse Watters from the O'Reilly factor, so nice to see you..." This will momentarily knock him off guard because he's expecting you to cower from the sight of his microphone and cameras. That's nonsense. The microphone and cameras are your friends---remember that.
Repeat.
The microphone and cameras are "your friends"
2) Look directly into the camera and say, "Hi, Bill, how are you? I'm so glad you tracked me down at my super market (or gas station, bank, local mall, parking garage or front door.) when I'm trying to unwind.
3) Now comes the critical time. When he asks you his misleading or false question about a bogus issue that Bill O'Reilly has trumped up to his FOX news audience, say:
"I'll be happy to answer your questions, Jesse, but can I ask you something first? Are you embarrassed to be working for a man who got sued for sexual harassment by Andrea Mackris and lost millions of dollars?
Jesse will look puzzled at first, so repeat this phrase.
Aren't you embarrassed to be working for a man who got sued for sexual harassment by Andrea Mackris and lost millions of dollars? Don't you have any decency? Aren't you ashamed by that?"
4) Watters will try to avoid the question by saying 'I'm here to ask the questions,' after he gets over the shock of your initial response to him. Remember, the camera is your friend. They can -- and will -- edit out anything they want, so he may hang in there for some time to try and get some usable footage. Stay strong. Ask him over and over again the Mackris question until he responds. He may stop rolling the camera, but you can't trust him, because they may try to make it look like they aren't recording. That's dangerous territory, so here's a basic rule:
Once Jesse Watters jumps into your space, everything is being recorded. Period. He may stop and look around and say, "I get it. You're trying to play with me." Just smile and say that you're only trying to understand Bill O'Reilly. Remember, the tape is always rolling.
5) If Jesse says he doesn't know anything about it and tries to ask you a question again, please tell him to go to this website and see for himself. There are over 20 pages available for him to get familiar with Bill's loofah fetish. Please memorize this URL (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html). After a few repetitions, you'll know this like the back of your hand. It's really easy to do. The only downside may be that you might hear the website address playing inside your head for a while; kind of like when a song gets stuck there. Don't try and force it out; silently let the web address finish to completion and then just think about something else. It will soon disappear from your thoughts. But if you try to force it away, it will not leave.
6) As a follow-up, ask him if he knows how much money Andrea Mackris was awarded to settle the suit out of court. If he doesn't know, say that you've seen reports that estimate the sum at around 6 million dollars. Ask him if he thinks that is a lot of money.
7) Ask Jesse Watters if he owns a condo in New York City. Then tell him that Andrea Mackris bought a new condo as soon as she settled the case. Ask him if that's cool. Ask him if he's jealous and wishes Bill O'Reilly made sexual advances to him so he could sue and buy himself a condo in NYC. Tell him that you'd like to buy one across from Central Park; you just love the view.
8) If he continues trying to get you to answer his questions, then pivot off Mackris and say, "OK, let me ask you this one:
"Did you feel bad that Bill O'Reilly blamed a 14-year-old boy named Shawn Hornbeck for getting himself kidnapped and held in captivity as a sex slave for four years by the deviate Michael Devlin?"
Use this link for reference.
Ask Jesse if he believes in the Stockholm Syndrome. If he doesn't know what that is---tell him:
The Stockholm incident compelled journalists and social scientists to research whether the emotional bonding between captors and captives was a "freak" incident or a common occurrence in oppressive situations. They discovered that it's such a common phenomenon that it deserves a name. Thus the label, Stockholm Syndrome, was born. It has happened to concentration camp prisoners, cult members, civilians in Chinese Communist prisons, pimp-procured prostitutes, incest victims, physically and/or emotionally abused children, battered women, prisoners of war, victims of hijackings, and of course, hostages. Virtually anyone can get Stockholm Syndrome if the following conditions are met:
Perceived threat to survival and the belief that one's captor is willing to act on that threat; The captive's perception of small kindnesses from the captor within a context of terror; Isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor; Perceived inability to escape.
Tell him that Bill O'Reilly doesn't believe in the Stockholm syndrome. Ask him if he'd like to be kidnapped by a pedophile to test its legitimacy. If he says no, then tell him that you think Shawn Hornbeck probably didn't want to test that theory either, but he had no choice. Doesn't he feel bad that Shawn Hornbeck was kidnapped and molested for four years?
If he says yes, then say, "Will Bill O'Reilly apologize to Shawn on air?" If he says he doesn't know, then ask him if he knew that Bill O'Reilly was cancelled from being the main speaker at the Missing Kids dinner in Florida because of his appalling commentary.
9) You'll see Jesse Watters' face turn red by this time, but he may feel that you're out of ammo and will still try to get you to say something or do something, even if it's out of context, so he can bring it back to his boss. Be strong, you're almost done. If he tries again to ask you about whatever nonsensical Factor outrage of the day, just remember: the camera is your friend.
If you get nervous, just repeat your name and where you work. Then ask him if he was as shocked as O'Reilly was that African Americans didn't say:
"Mother f&^ker, I want more ice tea at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem?"
He may recoil from this or agree with O'Reilly that he too was surprised nobody got shot while they ate the dinner in Harlem.
10) Ask Jesse how he likes Michelle Obama. If he balks and tries to ask you HIS question, just smile and ask if he will join Bill O'Reilly in the lynching party of Michelle Obama?
In a discussion of recent comments made by Michelle Obama, Bill O'Reilly took a call from a listener who stated that, according to "a friend who had knowledge of her," Obama " 'is a very angry,' her word was 'militant woman.' " O'Reilly later stated: "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit. We'll track it down."
Ask Jesse if he prefers to wear white hoods at his lynching parties. He may have several colors to choose from.
11) Jesse probably will either give up or try valiantly one last time. There's a wealth of subjects to pull from at a moment's notice for any sandbagging producer. Here's a few:
a) How do you feel about Dick Morris being a lead political analyst after he was exposed paying for hookers that sucked his toes? Do you like your toes sucked, too?
b) How does it feel to know that FOX News analyst, Oliver North sold weapons to Iran to fund another war? Even though he was acquitted on a technicality, the fact that he sold weapons to Iran cannot be disputed. Isn't he a traitor to America?
c) Isn't it creepy to know that Newt Gingrich divorced his very sick wife while she was dying in the hospital? What kind of character does that show? Can FOX News really trust his opinions on such important matters as the Iraq war and health care?
d) Do you think OJ was guilty? Didn't Mark Fuhrman blow the OJ Simpson case? Isn't it weird that he's now an expert analyst for FOX News?
That should do it. He'll be long gone before you can ask him about Rick Santorum's "man-on-dog" deal...So, there you go. A handy step-by-step guide to ward off the mosquito-like Bill O'Reilly camera crews and producers. After a few minutes of study, you'll be able to deal with anything that comes your way. And always remember, the camera is your friend!

Keith Olberman already did this bit on Countdown a long time ago... look for it on Youtube, and I think it's the same stuff you came up with. I'm surprised you don't remember it enough to include it.
somewhere in the archives is a brilliant suggestion from Keith Olberman.
Poor Billo, He can't seem to get a break. After his gombah was faced by Moyers and his ratings dropping, he is slowly becoming irrelavent.
OT, but I'm hearing rumors that Tim Russert has died. Anyone hear this?
Breaking News, Massive jail break in Afghanistan. Hundreds of Taliban escaped.
How about,
"Gee didn't you steal this bit from Howard Stern?
Baba Booey Baba Booey!"
Sharktattoo @ 4:
It's been confirmed. He died of a heart attack today. Tragic news. Agree with him or not, he was a mensch and someone who obviously loved what he was doing.
Tim Russert just DIED!!!!!
Its on Google news!!!
Only in the US could a person like O'Reilly ever achieve stardom in the broadcasting biz.
That says a mouthful about your system!
There's no way this pitiful political partisan pugilist could ever get to 1st base in Canada!
Thanks for the confirm, and good point, Richard.
dnk, are you serious?
Yeah...I think this may be a little complicated...KO's quick and dirty method of getting these guys off your back is good for a starter...but how about this...saying you're on your way to this African-American owned cafe (provided you can find one in your area, natch) and ask if they would you like to talk this over some BAMF'n iced tea...
Or quickly shout, "He's got a gun", and stomp the weasel into the pavement. Tell the police you thought his microphone was a weapon, and that you were merely acting in self defense. Complain of chest pains, and searing headache. Let them call you an ambulance. Call an attorney ASAP (there might be one chasing the ambulance). Then keep your mouth shut, and let the lawyer handle everything.
his approach fits well for people that want to talk 15 seconds about an important issue....this guy is obvious setting up the interview for a sound bite that can be edited....going on his program is a losing battle by design..he has an unfair advantage.when an interview or opinion doesn't go his way he interupts...if your a black and white thinker you may not notice the unfairness
Wow, I'm not a huge Tim R. fan but no doubt he'll be replaced by somebody even worse.
Russert died of a heart attack.
Yeah, HuffPo is report that Russert is dead...strange that it's not news anywhere else.
I haven't found a link regarding Timmeh.
dnk @ 8:
Poor fellow. That may explain his weird behavior. He maybe had organic brain problems from a
blood pressure problem.

HuffPo: Tim Russert Dies Of Heart Attack At Age 58
You forgot to suggest asking about the massacre of American soldiers at Malmedy! Ask Jessie if he thinks, as Bill does, that it was the Americans who killed unarmed Germans, when in fact Americans were shot as prisoners of war.
I prefer the Buzz Aldrin approach. Much more satisfying.
MSNBC has a banner on their website now.
Just saw it on msnbc. Timmeh is no more.

Whoa. I'm sure his family will miss him. I'll let a decent interval pass before I say more.
When corporations own and filter the media, O'Reilly and clones are the result. State/Corporate propaganda. They focus entirely not on substance, but on tripe, and could be the anchors and hosts of shows like those in "V is for Vendetta".
No wonder "fake" news channels like John Stewart are so popular - their producers have the balls to go after the real stories.
Richard @ 25:
CBS TV special report confirms that Russert is dead of heart attack, citing NBC source.
Of course Foxnews.com is the last to post something about Tim.
Tim Russert died.
Wow.
"Do you know why Bill accused American soldiers of war crimes that were actually committed by Nazi soldiers? Why does Bill hate the troops?"
Tim Russert's death makes me sad as hell. I feel so bad for his family because a sudden death like this is so fucking hard for them.
Dr. (terrorist fist jab) Matt @ 30:
They're trying to come up with an angle to blame it on Michelle Obama.
Associated Press reporting Tim Russert has died of an apparent heart attack. No joke. This is not a drill.
dnk @ 8:
NBC is reporting that Tim Russert Died today of a heart attack while at work this afternoon....
May god bless him and keep him....
"NBC host Tim Russert, 58, dies after collapse"
What the hell?
RIP, Tim. [Edited-Sitemonitor]
How can anyone be so disrespectful of his death? I thought those of us here were so much better than that.
Condolences to Tim Russert's family.
On topic, I welcome the day when (insert generic Factor producer name here) tracks me down to ambush me with questions. Hopefully foxholesadventures.com takes off enough that it gets on Bill O's radar and he sends someone my way. I'd settle for a sternly-worded letter from his legal team.
P.D. @ 36:
I think we have all had issues with Tim Russert at some point, but now is not the time for those comments... Have you no heart?

There’s no way this pitiful political partisan pugilist could ever get to 1st base in Canada!
As a fellow Canadian, I too am glad that there would be no place for a Bill O'Reilly on the airwaves here. However the, dare I say it, hypersensitive, politically correct atmosphere that pervades in Canada stifles debate on many important issues. So, we aren't perfect either.

I've got a simpler method, the South Park Strategy:
When ambushed, shout, "Oh, my God! They're coming right at me. I think they're trying to kill me!! " Then shoot them with a LAWS rocket.
End of ambush.
WRG, I do have a heart. I'm not without pity. But the media and their corporate sponsers failed us in the run-up to the Iraq War. Bush and his cronies wre all talking up the war, and barely anyone questioned them. It's a shame he died so young and I feel for his family. But, I call them as I see them.
The old media is dying, literally.
pissed off patricia @ 42:
You go girl... We have to be better than the O'Reilly's of the world. If were not what the hell is the point of it all.
Missing a HUGE opportunity here. Anybody jumped by these Fox thugs should immediately heap praise on Bill O'Reilly for making possible Al Franken's run for the US Senate against Bush-hack Norm Coleman. Then talk about how much you love Franken's satires, and his book about Rush Limbaugh. Then talk about how Fox's "Fair and Balanced" actually got laughed out of a courtroom during their goofy libel suit, which was tossed out in Franken's favor.
Added to the Mackris stuff, of course.
P.D. @ 47:
Totally uncalled for... how heartless are you?
WRG @ 59:
Sorry PD miss read your comment @ 47.....
If you can't say something respectful about Mr. Russert's death, how about just not saying anything at all.
WRG, That's OK. Watching the flood, Looking at those people suffering, and no response from the White House. I'm a little depressed.
Sorry guys, I didn't mean for my comment to be offensive. It's a shame that TR has passed on, especially at such a young age.
pissed off patricia @ 59:
Well said.
You know, death from either side of the aisle isn't something to laugh about, joke about, or snark.
RIP Tim. Condolences to your family, I'm sure they're far more in shock that I was surprised to hear the news.
Why won't you come on our show? answer: I can't afford being seen with a admitted sexual predator.
hey let's keep it real people get a grip......this is starting to sound like a red thread
Re: Tim Russert
[Edited-Sitemonitor] No one ever assured any of us our next breath, so it all boils down to what you do with the breath that you have whilst still able to breath. Regrets to his family and loved ones, though.
Tim Russert is dead... rest in peace.... He's was not the worst of them by a long shot... I wasn't a big fan but I did tend to watch meet the press on some sunday mornings and thought he was OK on some of the issues brought up... The actual focus of this thread IS one of the worst of them....Bill blowhard... I'd go ahead and tell yas what I really think about Billo and the worst of them and what their fates should be... But mommy always says if ya ain't got nothin good to say.... So there it is... I'm done posting on this subject. My condolences to the Russert family...............JD
Russo @ 61:
Yes, I completely agree with you. Whatever the differences we have, we are all human beings, with little time of this planet. I hope we can all find it within ourselves to treat Tim Russert's death with the dignity and grace it deserves. Otherwise, we are no better than (and may even be worse than) those on Fox News. I'm reading blogs where Russert's death is beging treated with anything but respect and it sickens me. What have we become. What have we deteriorated to.
P.D. @ 60:
I agree totally, but MSNBC has lost a member of it's family. They covered the floods, wars, SCOTUS rulings, and the escape from Afghanistan's prisons all morning and afternoon... now is the time for them to mourn their loss.
Alright karl I got the grip. Billo is losing the key demographic. Young people. They are flocking to Oberman in droves. And let's face it O'Liely is more like tabloid news anyway.
i'd love to be ambushed by o'reillys goons. did i ever mention that i run a german shepherd rescue? i've got 16 in the house & they all bite. one open door & the goons would be tomorrows dog poo.
P.D. @ 68:
hey your talking to the choir i can't stand o'reilly why he is unfair and corners his interviews...o'reilly is the wrong demographic for me i watch interviews where people can answer their questions
But karl, thats part of the fun! Watching Billo implode on a regular basis. Because the more he does it, the rest of the country yawns.
RIP, Tim Russert.

You're working way too hard. All you do when Jesse comes up to you is keep saying, "Bill, did you settle you're sexual harassment suit with Andrea Mackris?" There's absolutely nothing for them to air.

Congressman Kucinich was on O'Reilly's program last night. O'Reilly attacked Kucinich for daring to introduce the 35 [!] Articles of Impeachment against Bush but Kucinich did not back down against O'Reilly.

#83-Jack D
Here is the demagogue O'Reilly taking on Kucinich. The tape pretty much confirms that O'Reilly's intellectual capacity was not up to the task of debating the congressman in anything resembling a cogent and intelligent manner.

Snore @ 1:
Just remember the three magic words: Malmedy, Mackris, loofahs.
If you mention Keith Olberman every few words they wouldn't really have anything to edit.
When I go to the various blogs, I see the most comments and the most emotional ones on anything pertaining to members of the pundit class....O'Reilly, Coulter, Matthews, Russert, Beck, Hannity, etc.
The importance of these people's opinions is magnified by us paying such close attention to what they say. THEY should be commenting on the opinions and beliefs of the American people, not the other way around.
No wonder these people have such an inflated sense of their importance. We've given it to them.
should i be worried that porter or jesse will jump out and ambush me???
How about simply saying (as if speaking in a coherent sentence):
One other thing to add: "Jesse, I'm alarmed that on November 8, 2005, Bill O'Reilly invited Al-Qaeda to come to an American city and blow it up. He's okay with millions of Americans being killed. Are you? I strongly condemn Bill for being so anti-American as to work with Al-Qaeda. Do you condemn Bill O'Reilly for inviting Al-Qaeda to attack America?"
http://mediamatters.org/items/200511100008
"And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
In fact, I'd lead off with this. I think it's even stronger than the Mackris stuff.
"Usually he seeks out people that refuse to appear on his show or are unavailable for commenting on a particular topic."
If you go back and check the people he's had ambushed, you'll find that a large number of them said something that O'Reilly took as a personal insult...and that's why he's having his producers stalk them.
For example, a recent O'Reilly ambush on the Chancellor of Syracuse University was presented to The Factor audience as being because Boyce Watkins, a Syracuse University professor, was a race hustler and O'Reilly wasn't going to let it stand. But, if you look behind O'Reilly's surface explanation for the attack on the Chancellor and Watkins, you will find out that Watkins had enough of O'Reilly and Hannity making Obama's candidacy a racial thing. So Watkins started a petition and email campaign aimed at O'Reilly's sponsors. Watkins decided to hit O'Reilly and Faux News in the wallet and THAT is why O'Reilly went after him and the Chancellor. But O'Reilly never told his audience that part of the story. Instead he kept it from them.
With O'Reilly it pays to never take what he says at face value. Look behind it and you'll see that so many of these ambushes are simply done to get back at people who dare to criticize him. O'Reilly is a petty, vengeful f*ck.
To Kathy at 89,
We do not give them the spot light.
The MSM chooses to give them lots of time and exposure.
The MSM loves to have on those that are controversial.
The pundits then give them and each other attention.
To ignore them is to allow their positions to win by default.
It is like John Kerry's failure to push back effectively against the Swiftboaters.
He did push back but was too slow and too soft.
Your advice/strategy looks even less effective than Kerry 2004.
It is bad enough for Dems/Progressives to go to a gun fight with a knife.
You are advocating for less than a sit-in.
Just ignore those guys in the white sheets and their late night rallies. Right?
They just want attention. So forget about them and they will fade away. OK?
They love to hear themselves talk and combating them does feed their egos.
But bringing up their past mistakes is effective. It is their main tactic against others.
Remember when BillO claimed he had combat experience because he was within the sound of gun fire. I believe he was refering to reporting on the drug "wars" while on assignment in South or Central America. Seems on a par with Hillary and sniper fire in Bosnia. He dis her big time for that. He dissed Kerry's Nan service and Gore's when they were actually in country and did/saw actual combat. BillO ignored W losing his status as a pilot and skipping the last 2 years of his Guard duty and checking off that he did not want overseas duty. All good points to ask any ambusher.
Both Bill O and Bill Clinton let the country down by involvement with young women.
The big difference is that BillO had to chase after his and she sued him.
Bill C just allowed a groupie to play out her fantasy and she was disappointed it ended. Once again, BillO falls short when compared with BillC or so many others.
Oh, on BillC lying: some other facts: If it had not been for the Paula Jones suit, he would not have had to give the testimony were he parsed and was seen as lying under oath. That suit was thrown out of court because Paula claimed to be with BillC when there was news footage of him attending a function on the other side of the state. She made her false claim under oath but no one makes a big deal out of that. And Ken Starr pressured Monica. She did not come forward voluntarily.
BillC did fail this country and his marriage. But it was the Repubs and the pundits that made it a major story and took it to impeachment/inditement in the House and trail in the Senate with resulting aquital. But BillO promised to fight to the end and meekley settled out of court with a non-disclosure clause like a true wimp
You forgot the first step: calmly pull out your cell phone and capture the whole thing on video of your own.

Sorry. I just thought most people that post here were better than that.
A funnier way to do it is to ask whether or not O'Reilly knows the difference between a falafel and a loofah. Did he really mean falafel? I'm pretty sure a falafel will fall apart in the shower. Why would Bill O'Reilly wanna rub a womans breasts with a falafel? He does know what a falafel is right? Does Bill O'Reilly merge food and sex on a regular basis or was this a one time experiment with the falafel? Has Bill experimented with other things in bed? Perhaps large, spiked, falafel shaped dildoes? Does Bill O'Reilly typically eat in the shower? Is that a regular thing? Does he have a favorite type of falafel? Is Bill O'Reilly a Falafelsexual? What other types of foods would Bill O'Reilly suggest people eat or use for pleasure in the shower? Perhaps he could do a segment on sexy shower foods? Top of the list. Falafel.
I could go on and on all day. And you could pose these questions as statements or answers to his questions by saying something like "It's kind of like when Bill O'Reilly rubs a falafel over a womans breasts in the show!" or "This is not nearly as bad as when Bill O'Reilly sexually harassed one of his fellow employees."
Shortcut guide if you forget everything in the complete guide:
Nah, I don't believe you're with Bill O'Reilly. I'm almost positive you're with Jerry Springer. Hey, I know a fake I.D. when I see it. You're really with Jerry Springer, aren't you?
Repeat ad nauseum.
I'd just start laughing and not stop.
Josh @ 98:
i naively thought i had heard about nearly every type of sexual perversion due to my long internet exposure but this Falafelsexual is a new one on me. now before i get jumped on for calling Falafelsexual a perversion rather than a more legitimate and reasonable sexual practice like santorum's interest in beastiality please remember this is billo we're tallking about here.
I'd just quote lines from don hertzfeldts animated short Rejected.,
"my spoon is too big" " i am a banana" "tuesday's coming did you bring your coat", " I am the queen of france"
RIP Mr. Russert. As I see things you were a man of integrity. Perfect? No. A true journalist? Yes. A family man? Yes. Working for friends, family, country? Yes. I regret to see you go so early because I believe you were getting better with age.
You lefties are hilarious!
Years ago during the OJ 'trial', a newswoman ambushed an ex-girlfriend of Simpsons in a parking lot with a video player and showed OJ(guilty murderer) discussing to a friend in a limo how crazy she was in bed, and the newswoman was nearly foaming at the mouth demanding a response from this ex-girlfriend(Tawny Kitain) and the ex watched and listened to the tape unflinching and then asked the newswoman, "Well, what's your question?" The reporter stammered around and said, "Well? Is it true??" The ex-girlfriend said "Yes," I guess the reporter thought she would run and hide. I thought that was brilliant.
Perceived threat to survival and the belief that one’s captor is willing to act on that threat; The captive’s perception of small kindnesses from the captor within a context of terror; Isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor; Perceived inability to escape.
Damn! That almost sounds like living in bushs America.
On a serious note, the perfectly legal means of dealing with these goons is to say, 'I'm not going to talk to you,' and walk off.
Having If you respond to anything, if you turn around even to say 'get the hell out of my face,' you are perceived has having re-initiated the conversation, and everything is fair game again. That includes answering, "Why won't you talk to us, Sir?"
Don't flip them off as you drive away, either. There's a classic caught-on-camera moment from the end of the O.J. Simpson trial as Marcia Clark leaves her house to head to the courthouse for the verdict. Among her other comments, Ms. Clark flips off the photographers as she drives away. Class act. Now that the YouTube era has arrived, that's not the smartest move.
"The Complete Guide on How to Deal with Bill O’Reilly’s ambush producers"
Grab a bucket of white paint and draw lane markings into a concrete wall?
"typical tabloid journalism tactics to sneak up and sandbag you so you will be off guard and a bit unprepared to answer his questions. Usually he seeks out people that refuse to appear on his show or are unavailable for commenting on a particular topic. He’ll send his team to your house or apartment—someplace that used to be off limits so you will be vulnerable." Sounds like the entire premise of Roger & Me.
Suggested correction for this headline: Bill O'Reilly's producers use Michael Moore's ambush tactics.
I'm generally a fan of Michael Moore's films, but I get embarassed when he tries to ambush Dick Clark and others this way. Dick Clark's reaction in "Bowling" seems like a model for anyone getting ambushed, whether it's by Moore or BillO's equivalent of Baba Booey. Don't comment. Period. More people will be annoyed by the fruitless badgering questioner than by the person refusing to comment.
