Replace Bill O'Reilly with Phil Donahue petition on Huffpo

[bklyncowgirl]

Bob Cesca posted this petition to Rofer Ailes in response to O'Reilly's petition to get Olbermann fired from MSNBC.

"Dear Your Honor Roger Ailes,

We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the mental health of the host of your 8:00 PM EST show. This host has claimed:

1) San Francisco should be attacked by al-Qaeda terrorists ("homicide bombers").

2) There's a conspiracy to cancel the extremely popular Christmas holiday, even though the culture of Christmas is prevalent in America for nearly three months of every year.

3) That opponents of his show favor personal attacks and smearing, while he routinely employs the pejorative "pinheads" to describe anyone who disagrees with him.

4) That he never used the phrase "shut up" even though he's on-record saying that phrase dozens of times.

5) He has yet to publicly address his sexual penchant for soapy falafel sandwiches and female underlings.

6) He routinely misrepresents factual information (often called "lying"), then claims he told the truth, but will occasionally recant and admit to flagrantly misleading his viewers.

(For more citations of your 8:00 PM EST host's growing level of dysfunction, please visit: http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/billoreilly where there are approximately 400 instances of your host's mental instability.)

As a result, we recommend that you uphold your "fair and balanced" reputation and replace your 8:00 PM EST host with popular talk show host Phil Donahue.

In a recent petition to MSNBC, your host praised Mr. Donahue's ability to draw a large audience and referred to Mr. Donahue's "honor and dignity" -- a perfect fit for Fox News Channel as your current host obviously endorses Donahue's ability to perform in prime time. So he's a perfect replacement for your 8:00 PM EST host who clearly could use some professional psychological assistance.

We look forward to the premiere of The Donahue Factor, weeknights at 8:00 PM on Fox News Channel.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned "

Sign the petition.

I think that this would truly be a public service on the part of Fox News and something that we can all get behind.

1. It's only fair, you know. . . . . . n/t

[calimary]

77. Fair and balanced, of course!!!

It'd be kinda neat to see the Big Giant Head replaced by somebody with a brain in his average-sized one.

Signed. I said I never watch their network, but with Donahue onboard, that might change...

[Catchawave]

2. Done

...with pleasure :toast:

[Epiphany4z]

3. LMAO

OH oh she just made bills shit list..to funny.

[Roland99]

4. K.O. ROCKS!

That is all.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Ah Phil doesn't deserve this

How about just a petition to get rid of O'Lielly? I wouldn't want to subject Phil to the unfair and inbalanced network.

[zeemike]

6. I signed it

And hope many more will also.
365 now

[liberalnurse]

7. Has anyone asked Phil Donahue

if he wanted to return to the cable news arena? I saw his about 2 weeks ago, and he never mentioned returning.

Here is Phil giving Stephanie Studebaker her Democratic Campaign Kick-Off for U.S Congress.

8. O'Reilly is still the #1 rated show on cable news channels.

He may be an egotistical asshole, but he draws the sheeple.

[Maraya1969]

24. If all basic cable connections contained MSNBC I don't think that

would be the case. I've stated on here before that a friend who lives in Oklahoma watches Fox and CNN because she does not get MSNBC with her basic package.

MSNBC needs to fix this or it will never get the top honors. Maybe they charge too much to the cable companies (?)

[Toots]

33. His ratings were down 20% for 2005 and down 6% so far this year

His stock is dropping so sell sell sell.

[spooky3]

37. but he has less than a third the audience of NBC, ABC, CBS news

even though Fox is carried as part of nearly every basic cable package and the vast majority of households have basic cable.

[druidity33]

68. see KO's bit...

as of January '06 KO surpassed O'Lielly in sheer #'s. I think it was 152 thou for Bill to KO's 157 thousand share. As time goes by O'Lielly's viewers will drop off even more (his median viewing age is 68yrs, to KO's median age of 56 yrs...) Face it, Bill is going DOWN. Keith is coming UP. Just sayin...

[DeadManInc]

9. Send it to Keith and have him sign it!!

18. This was my first thought last night!

Keep Olbermann, but replace O'Reilly with Donahue for the 8pm time slot!

[Minnesota Libra]

19. Only 400 and some signatures so far - people spread the word.....

....and let's get this done in a style that will shock even O'Reilly. If anyone deserves to get the curb it is him. :toast:

[noamnety]

20. signed, with a comment

"p.s. If Bill could add me to his enemies list, that would be awesome"

[11 Bravo]

21. Signed, kicked, and recommended. n/t

[tularetom]

22. I signed but I really don't want them to do this

Right now the only show I regularly watch is Countdown. If they put Phil Donohue on at the same time I'd have a tough decision to make. I'd settle if they put Phil on the "Hannity and Funny Looking Guy" show to replace the Funny Looking Guy.

[insane_cratic_gal]

23. You have nothing to worry about

there is no way fox would ever be balanced or fair and give a "real" Liberal a fair shake on their network.

Wouldn't ever happen.

[MapMaker]

25. Signed!!

If you insist on keeping him on Fox you should change you tag line to "Half Truths and Bold Face Lies".

Keith- I want to help you smite the Loofah-Luvin' O-Reilly, once and for all! These links will take you to a video confrontation Phil Donahue had with O'Reilly on "The Factor". Perhaps you can remind Falafel Boy on air that his suggested replacement for you hates his guts!

93. It is now the second most popular petition on that site that is hosting

the signatures, www.PetitionOnline.com I hope we can make it #1. O'Reilly never has his petitions posted where someone can actually see the signatures so I guess he can make up anything. I can't wait to see what Keith has to say about this!
