Winning any argument is important to your case, if your case depends on public perception.
O'Reilly is an opinion generator, not a journalist or an investigative reporter. O'Reilly holding an interview with someone he doesn't agree with is liking giving editing power to your biggest enemy, on their own show, at their mercy.
I would not be prone to go on O'Reilly, though I have challenged him to a debate he never took me up on, of course.

Totally, but doing so on a show like O'Reilly's is like asking to be skewered with dishonest tactics, and admitting that most of your important points will be butchered or edited to fit "his agenda".
