Bill O'Reilly will never admit that he lost, so does it matter if Jon Stewart debates him and wins?
The viewers will just have to be the judges in this case. Stewart accepted an invite to return to The O'Reilly Factor after he called the Fox News Channel host out for bashing the decision to extend rapper and actor Common an invitation to the White House.
Both guys, as always, came out firing.

O'Reilly's beef concerns the rapper's past vocal support for two convicted cop killers, one of whom he visited after she escaped from prison and moved to Cuba.
Therefore, O'Reilly raged, President Barack Obama should have never allowed Michelle Obama to invite Common to a White House event celebrating American poetry.
Stewart suggested that Common wasn't celebrating cop killers, but rather was of the opinion that both were wrongly convicted.
He further pointed out that a number of artists who have been to the White House—Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, in this case—have written songs about men convicted of killing law-enforcement officers.
"Are you familiar with Leonard Pelletier?" Stewart inquired, referring to a man convicted of killing two FBI agents. "Guess who wrote a song about him? Bono. And guess where he was? The White House. Boo-yah!
