Keith O. has Bill O'Lielley

[49jim]

as the worst person in the world again tonight.

[49jim]

1. Keith said

Bill complained about another Fox anchor- said he deals with person attacks......Keith said Bill, w/o personal attacks you'd be a mime!! LOL

[immoderate]

2. O'Reilly called the anchor a rabid dog.

I'm so glad he doesn't indulge in personal attacks.

4. B.O. is exactly what his initials indicate...

He stinks... he stinks in his interviews, his voice makes my dog howl...

I'm glad I have air fresheners in the house.

I have no problem with personal attacks...

[immoderate]

9. I laugh when he criticizes entertainers for commenting on politics.

I mean, if you stretch the meaning of entertainer, he's one of them. If you make talent a requirement, then what is O'Reilly besides a loudmouth?

10. i find that funny too

(don't tell bill, though ... he thinks he's a journalist :rofl:)

[immoderate]

11. Recalls that great line from "The Princess Bride"...

Wallace Shawn: "Inconceivable!"

Mandy Patimkin: "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think does."

12. lol :)

3. "Without personal attacks, you would be a mime."

Olbermann to O'Reilly.

The guy O'Lielly was dissing, Neil Gabler, and the Faux show he appears on that Keith liked, Newswatch, are both worth watching. And I've never heard Gabler make any personal attack.

5. VIDEO-

Hatch made Worse

14. Thanks!!! ... ad infinitum

:D

6. Several times Tweety should have been named to this list.

I wonder if K.O. has ever tried to go there and was stopped by MSNBC ?

It would be fun to work on K.O. to slap Tweety the next time he says something really, really wrong. Example: About 10 days ago when talking about Scooter's situation he made a snide comment that went something like "Maybe he will get one of those Clinton type pardons..."

Thus, completely ignoring the fact that Poppy Bush is the granddaddy of pardoners for Executive Branch whores. I don't recall Clinton pardoning any members of his administration. In fact, the investigation of one of his cabinet members is still going on (think it is Espey) - still going on because they can't really get anything on him.

13. Normally, Keith avoids dissing his fellow MSNBC'ers

but tonight, he did make me proud. He had a segment where he briefly showed Don Imus and then said "I'm sorry I didn't warn you before we showed the video of Don Imus; I realize some of you may be eating." :rofl:

7. this is great, from Media Matters....

Media writer Neil Gabler, a regular Fox news panelist, asserted that Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and John Gibson are "demagogues" who seek to "rally the masses" with their talk of a purported effort to suppress public recognition of the Christmas holiday. On the December 3 edition of Fox News Watch, Gabler said of those making such accusations: "They'll do it every Christmas. They did it last Christmas; they'll do it next Christmas." Later in the segment, Gabler stated: "The media, particularly Fox media, has been pumping the hell out of this thing."

Gabler's comments came during a segment that an off-screen announcer previewed by asking, "Is there a Grinch taking the holly jolly out of Christmas? Why has this holy season become a target of the liberal media?" Early in the discussion, Gabler remarked that the battle over public acknowledgement of Christmas "is being called a war ... in certain places." During the segment, American University professor and Fox News contributor Jane Hall specifically criticized O'Reilly and Gibson for their emphasis of the issue:

HALL: Bill O'Reilly has made this a huge issue. He's obviously getting a lot of feedback. John Gibson has a book about it, another Fox anchor. I think this is largely a fund-raiser for Jerry Falwell to pick up on some run-amok PC .

Gabler later said: "I want to talk about the media angle, because we've avoided it; it's the elephant in the room -- it's Fox News." He then launched into a critique of "demagogues" O'Reilly, Hannity, and Gibson.

When host Eric Burns protested, "I don't think it is demagoguery to point out that there are people who are themselves being demagogues by trying to take away the worship terminology of 95 percent of Americans," Gabler replied, "e are at war. There's Darfur. There's an AIDS crisis. And you're worried about whether people are saying 'Merry Christmas' or not? ... What world do you live in?"

When Burns defended his focus on the Christmas issue, on the grounds that "it's one issue, and it's the issue that's the subject of this ... segment," Gabler again criticized "he media, particularly Fox media" for focusing excessively on the story.
