The peace between Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly is nothing more than a forced armistice. Lloyd Grove on why the slapfest will soon be back on--and why the two cable-TV megalomaniacs are essentially the same.

Here’s the video of Olbermann’s reaction to the Times piece. He actually criticizes the NYTimes and defends O’Reilly:

This article is dismissed!

[Ashamed-in-Texas]

Did you all see my avatar on Rachel Maddow tonight?? Imagine my shock!!

[Callyson]

"They fight and bite, they fight and fight and bite, fight fight fight bite bite bite...the Bill-O & KO Show!"

[KLordsha]

Whoever posted this article obviously didn't see tonight's Countdown with Keith Olberman... THERE WASN'T ANY TRUCE.

[Solja]

Bingo! I was about to write the same thing!

[AprilPA]

The truce is over. KeithO is calling out BillO again.

[rubygreen]

There was never a truce. I remember, and just heard Keith repeat it, that Billo's r@ ntings were too serious to make them funny, so he would stop making them appear so. Well, tonight he took him on along with the author, of the NY Times report, which is a complete fabrication, and RM.

A trifecta!!! Keep up the great work Keith, we love you and glad you are back!

[swift goat pet for truth]

I JUST heard KO say, "Billo the Clown"
15 mins into the show today

GO KEITH!!!

LOL brought to us today by Fixed News...So glad he is back !

[Melissa]

The funny thing is I never hear Bill mention Keith's name. but Keith is obsessed with Bill. Do you think it his the huge ratings Bill gets?

[denicci1977]

How is that funny ? I've seen several clips where he is always talking about Keith,no he doesn't always say his name but says "Over there on MSNBC,or NBC etc etc"...

[Solja]

It's his ignorance, not his ratings. Who would be envious of having a bunch of raving idiots as their audience?

[pinkyboo]

No he talks about the "worst" persons - Bill O is very often a d@uche bag and thus gets covered in that segment alot.

[JustJoy7]

Welcome back, Keith!!!!!

First thing out of his mouth...BILLO...LOL

[Zen0469]

Lloyd Grove sounds like a smarmy, disgusting little lackey. Go KO!

[tlph]

Bill O'Reilly is unfair and unbalanced.

A MUST SEE!

Come on Keith kick that slimey little G.E jerk in the rear and tell him to shove his censorship.

[truthglow]

We will see if Keith really has "buckled" now that we know the entire story. Hopefully, Keith will not listen to this demand of CENSORSHIP made upon him by his corporate masters. If he buckles under, I have a feeling that there will be many of us who will feel less kindly toward him and that his ratings will go down. If Keith's ratings go down, so will the entire ratings of MSNBC. Other than that, there are absolutely NO SIMILARITIES between Keith Olbermann and Bill-O-The Clown!!!!!

[BOin08]

KO is laying off O’Reilly and buckling under to corporate pressure because GE signs his check. Apparently O’Reilly call to boycott GE is hurting the bottom-line. Remember Keith, you're there to bring in revenue-not leak it. Don't let the "principles" of journalism hurt your bottom line, bro.

sell out

[texaslib82]

The fight is over, the battle is over, the War is over...Bill-O has won... look at his ratings as compared to Keith-O.... this goes to Bill-O...

105 months on No.1 is no joke guys, acept it...

[BOin08]

Keith just blinked.
