Media Matters - CNN’s Sanchez: O’Reilly “screamed at the top of his lungs for a very long period of time”

“Summary: Bill O’Reilly stated that CNN has gone “over to the dark side” for its coverage of O’Reilly’s recent statement that he was surprised “there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City … even though it’s run by blacks.” O’Reilly said he “talked to CNN last night” before the controversy was discussed on CNN’s Out in the Open and “explained the deal.” He added, “They went ahead with the racist angle anyway.” Out in the Open host Rick Sanchez responded to O’Reilly’s assertion: “Never once did we utter the word ‘racist’ in relation to Bill O’Reilly,” adding that O’Reilly “screamed at the top of his lungs for a very long period of time.”"
