Bill O’Reilly’s obsession with NBC continues…

[CatWoman]

Andrea Mitchell was a guest on The Factor and was grilled by the falafel King because he's mad at Keith Olbermann. That's it in a nutshell and since O'Reilly won't mention Olbermann's name or go after him like he does all the evil, American hating print journalists—he just smears the whole network. Hey, I have documented many problems with NBC and Mitchell, but they are not a liberal front group. (I won't even bring up Andrea's marriage to Alan Greenspan.)

There are a number of problems with O'Reilly's arguments. First of all, he claims there are no Conservative thinkers at NBC. Wrong. How about a few hosts named Tucker and Scarborough? I have no idea why Mitchell just didn't tell Bill that right off the top. Secondly, he calls Chris Matthews a liberal because he worked for Tip O'Neil. I think Mitchell could have brought up Billy's boss—Roger Ailes

In Craig Crawford's very good book called "Attack the Messenger," he highlighted a famous TV moment between Dan Rather and Bush #41 that was completely staged by Ailes. Using Bill's own criteria—he proves FOX NEWS is a Conservative operation. Thanks Bill:

1. I don't know what years Chris Matthews worked for Tip O'Neill, but...

...Tip O'Neil retired in 1987.

Chris Matthews announcing on the air that he voted for George W. Bush in 2000 was more recent.

2. Everone at the "Fair and Balanced" network works for Roger Ailes. So...

I really don't know what the hell he was driving at there. And besides- Chris Matthews is no liberal.

3. What about that fuck Glen Beck?

He certainly would level the field if he thought KO was too lib.

[Garbo 2004]

7. ? Beck is on CNN Headline News. KO is on MSNBC. n/t

[raysr]

19. You're right. Mistake.

[baldguy]

4. O'Reilly is so cowardly & childish he can't even say Keith's NAME?

[Berry Cool]

14. You got it.

It's like he's afraid that if he stands in a darkened room in front of a mirror and chants "Keith Olbermann" three times, Keith will appear in the mirror. :scared: HORRORS!

Also, don't forget he had a caller's microphone cut off on his radio show the very second the caller said "Keith Olbermann" and threatened him with a visit from "your local authorities" and "Fox Security"!

17. Welll.... Keith could have cooties! n/t

5. Falling ratings will make the falafel king talk more shit.

[illinoisprogressive]

6. It may also be driven by MSNBC rise in the rating and Fox losing

viewers steadily.

9. ya think????????

Bill O is about to sink below the antipasta show on the food network

[Garbo 2004]

12. um, that could be a "bingo." And specifically, KO's fun with Billdo, KO' rise in ratings, & MSNBC's

support of KO. Military contractor/Bush supporter GE owns NBC/MSNBC and yet it allows KO to bring in the ratings with his commentaries on the Bush misAdministration and on-target hilarious pokes at pufferfish Billdo. Poor Billdo, whose ratings always have been eclipsed by SpongeBob Squarepants, just to put it in perspective.

So NBC/MSNBC, according to Billdo now, is dominated by "libruls," like softball suckup Timmy, "which way will he go this time" Chris Matthews, and even Andrea Mitchell "everyone in DC knew Valerie Plame worked for the CIA" Greenspan. Billdo's even got Scarborough "I'm a REAL Conservative DAMMIT" spitting fire.

Cool. :)

8. Bill O'Whiney is getting mighty tiresome. Most of his audience just tunes in so they don't miss the

moment when he spontaneously combusts.

[lordsummerisle]

10. Keep in mind

it's just about entertainment...O'Reilly may like to portray himself as a serious news analyst but he's really just an entertainer...Stephanie Miller refers to his show as "Fact Free TV" which about sums it up.

[Berry Cool]

15. KO started a betting pool a long time ago

as to exactly which day Billo was finally going to lose it. I think the payoff may be close. As KO said the other night, he's sounding now like he's suffering from the tertiary stage of syphilis.

[Erika]

11. I love the Bill O'whiney

He needs to add he never defended this country in military service. These people need to have their hypocrisy thrown back in their faces as they pontificate
on our military strategy.

[Webster Green]

13. I believe it should read "Bill Orally"..

Must be a typo.

[Batgirl]

16. O'Reilly's sputtering outrage at KO, and by extension NBC

is so cute. It reminds me of Doris Day's love/hate crush on Rock Hudson in "Pillow Talk."

18. NBC = GE = defense contractors = repuke war profiteers at the helm there
