http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/15/1421505/-Bill-O-Reilly-tried-to-ambush-Bernie-Sanders-Bernie-wasn-t-having-itBill O'Reilly wants Bernie Sanders to appear on his show, something the Sanders team doesn't seem willing to do. So, Bill O'Reilly sent Jesse Watters to ambush Bernie Sanders and if you watch the interaction, it is crystal clear they weren't interested in asking any legitimate questions. They were merely trying to anger Bernie Sanders and get a clip for Fox News. Watch as Bernie brushes them, immediately telling Jesse Watters he doesn't do ambush interviews and he should talk to his press secretary. That didn't stop Watters for shoving a microphone in Bernie's face as they walk down a hallway, asking hard hitting questions like the ones below:

After the interview Fox would dissect Bernie's words and show them out of context.

He can hold his own and the extra media exposure would help get his message out.

Additionally, O'Reilly would be a complete asshole as he ALWAYS is.
In a neutral format where O'Reilly is not allowed to bully and coerce I would be in favor of Bernie facing off with him. I don't know where you would ever find such a format in today's monopolistic media environment.
