"NBC News Chief Takes Swipe at O'Reilly"
Read the snarky remark O'LIElly's executive producer, Tabacoff, made about NBC's Steve Capus. Those people are so hateful.

NBC News Chief Takes Swipe at O'Reilly
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

<snip>
Steve Capus attributed the Fox News Channel host's criticism of the network to O'Reilly's ongoing feud with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. O'Reilly has said NBC News, as an organization, has gone sharply to the left. He cited the network's decision last fall to begin referring to the sectarian violence in Iraq as a civil war, a phrase the Bush administration has resisted.

He made his displeasure clear in a recent interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell, then later talked to a body language consultant who said Mitchell looked uncomfortable.

"I think it's really kind of sad and pathetic, some of the things that he's been lobbing at us these days," Capus told reporters Wednesday. "I don't quite understand it. I assume it's because Keith Olbermann has had such tremendous growth and there's real momentum behind Keith's broadcast."

David Tabacoff, executive producer of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," said Thursday in a statement, "It's nice to see that Jeff Zucker let Steve off his leash for a few minutes, but what is it about being exposed as a liberal news organization that he finds sad and pathetic?"<snip>

Not one peep about Fox of being too sharply right? And I wonder what Andrea Mitchell had to say.

And I'll tell what's "sad and pathetic" about being "exposed" as a left-wing network--being exposed by a RIGHT-wing network!
