O'Reilly: "You gotta come down on Gabler...I'd fire him in a heartbeat"

Neal Gabler Watch: Day #1

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/02/20.html#a7237

Bill O'Reilly wants Neil Gabler fired and fast. The falafel man hasn't been very pleased with Gabler ever since he threw Bill's phony "War on Christmas, " meme under the bus. (see video)

O'Reilly's not happy that a FOX employee would have the nerve to publicly criticize "The Factor." O'Reilly had Eric Burns, the host of "FOX News Watch" on and demanded that he take action. (rough transcript)

Video-WMP

Video-QT

O'Reilly: Hey Eric, you gotta come down on this Gabler guy, I mean he's just out of control and I'll tell you why...you have Gabler picking up a far left blog (Bill shows no proof) conspiracy theory-spitting it out there and you guys sit there---like humpty dumpty.---I'd fire him in a heartbeat.

Bill told Burns he should have edited out what O'Reilly found offensive. Now we know what O'Reilly does on his show. Don't like an opinion-cut it. How much was Gabler sued for? How much payola did FOX settle on to bail Neil out of legal troubles? None that I can think of.

Burns tries to defend his show and kowtow to Bill at the same time while O'Reilly calls Gabler a "rabid dog." Sounds just like the sort of smear that Bill accuses those pesky, lefty websites of doing. How long do you think Gabler will last?

1. so the 'news' has dropped another bar lower (didn't think it could drop

much more)--but here it is freefalling.

2. A little circle of alpha male cable news monkeys...

...generating hit lists of those who challenge their authority. Hurling all kinds of nasty things at them.

Or in O'Reilly's terminology, "Those Who Trespass"...I guess.

:evilgrin:

5. O'Reilly speaks as an alpha male Chicken Hawk

He wimped out and avoided the military -- electing to shoot his mouth off and encourage other people to send their sons and daughters off to die for Nation Building and BUSHCO WAR PROFITEERING

CHICKENHAWK _ JUST LIKE AWOL HIMSELF

3. "I'd edit it right out"...

wow...that's really fair and balanced there Bill...

What a moron...

[Beelzebud]

10. LOL Yeah that was the most revealing statment ever made by O'Lielly.

Makes you wonder how much editing goes into each edition of the No Spin Zone! :D

4. It seems to me that O'Lielly has

these little hissy fits on a regular basis. Is this how he hopes to gain viewers, maybe? One look at the man and I'd have the set off. I'm glad I don't have cable.

6. O'Reilly's Trying To Hold On To The Base...

Look at all the other stories a "serious news analysis show" (isn't that what the shitwad calls his cesspool??) could have covered yesterday...

- The turn over of American ports to the UAE
- More revelations that the intel on the Iraq war was cooked
- An out of control executive running roughshod over the seperation of powers and civil rights.

What's Bill ragging about? Christmas. Dude...it's February...catch up with the rest of us, will ya. LOL.

Look for more of this right wing and Faux antics if they think they're losing viewers...they'll manufacture controversies and make little stories into big ones to run a smoke screen for this regime. Paying any attention to O'Reilly's bullshit is playing into more Rovian games.

Cheers...

7. It would be a waste to let a K&R go without this graphic

Here's chickenhawk O'LOOFAH receiving the VFW Errect Loofah Award

8. among Bill's complaints about Gabler

is that Gabler trafficks in "personal attacks."

Bill HATES personal attacks. :rofl:

9. Best thing for your career is pissing off O'Reilly.

You're guaranteed at least a weeks worth of free publicity on his show. :P
