Sen. Bernie Sanders has always been available to the media. He doesn't hem and haw, try to skirt questions and answers them straight up.
However, yesterday Bernie was not so nice when someone tried to do an ambush interview in the halls of Conress

From Salon this morning:

Instead of politely calling and setting up an interview with Fox, Bill O'Reilly decided to send out his crack ambush phenom, Jesse Watters.
In the hallway the ever eager Watters approached the Senator and asked him a question.
"Did the Senator think he was too 'Big Time' to go on the show?"
Senator Sanders ignored him.
Then, Sanders pointed out his Press Secretary and to talk to the Press Secretary.
Watters asked again and Sanders replied "I don't do ambush interviews"
"Well, I do." replied our brave hero.
Apparently O'Reilly's fee fees were hurt because he has not been on his program, forgetting that Sanders was on there in the spring.
Watters then pushed the Senator, who warned 'Don't push me," and warned him off.
O'Reilly and Watters had a good laugh last night pretending that Bernie was afriad to go on:
"O’Reilly and Watters later chuckled about the ambush in-studio. “But you know why he’s not coming on?” O’Reilly explained, “because he knows that some of his base doesn’t like us, so now he’s being a politician.”
There is a video of the incident but, I did not post it because I was not sure if I could do that of a copyright story. But, you can follow the link and watch it.
