O'Reilly-Olbermann Feud: Now It's Fox News Host's Turn To Destroy Truce

Now it's Bill O'Reilly's turn to destroy the last shred of any truce between the Fox News host and his prime-time nemesis, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

On Monday night, Olbermann denied reports of a truce and tried to prove his point by slamming O'Reilly, giving him the silver medal in his "World's Worst Person" segment. To up the ante, he then awarded Fox News head Rupert Murdoch the gold medal.

On Wednesday night, it was O'Reilly's turn, staying true to his favored tactics in this media melee: refusing to say Olbermann's name and attacking MSNBC's parent company, GE, on a day when it was in the news for accounting fraud (a story that conveniently fell into O'Reilly's lap).

In a segment titled "Corporate Corruption," O'Reilly took aim at GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt for raising money for President Obama and advising the administration while his company was paying $50 million in fines to settle SEC charges of accounting fraud. He also fired away at GE over the company's environmental record, citing its pollution of the Hudson River.

Bill's ratings are higher than KO's. That's the bottom line.

[UNLVGOP]

O'Reilly is talking about how GE was being investigate for fraud or whatever..­...it's not his fault that GE happens to run NBC news....so should he not have reported a story on a major company being investigated by the government?

If News Corp was investigated for the same thing...wo­uldn't you be hoping MSNBC discussed it.

Atleast Bill has the guts to bring people on that disagree with him. KO only brings on his friends so he can preach to the chior. It's the same people on everyday, talking about the same thing, like a bunch of old ladies. Just like everyone on MSNBC. I do understand that many people don't go on the show...he only gets what like 10 viewers a night?

The off button works really well.

[solarian]

bill you work for one of the most dishonest persons in the world

[DCX2]

The only time a conservative would care about the environment or corporate corruption is when it can be used to attack people they don't like.

[yankees]

What is sad about this is the message O'Reilly is trying to report. You people are just interest in the feud and obviously can't see past that.
Why doesn't the Post have the "Balls" to go after the real culprit GE? There is no difference between GE and Halliburton and we did a great job on the latter.

[mregus]

What's sad is that 99% of of Billo's viewers do not realize that this has anything to do with Billo's feud with Olberman but rather think Billo is actually speaking out against the corporations that works to protect day in and day out.

[Probus]

O'Reilly is a coward who can't even say KO's name on the air so he attacks NBC and GE. O'Reilly is a bully as evidenced on his show yet he can't name his nemesis. He's a joke.

[rmct]

why name someone who can't get ratings on his own. Bill does not give free publicity to anyone

[Probus]

Billo is a coward.

[Rational-1]

Great hard-hitting commentary. Kudos to O'Reilly!!!

Change=Tra­nsparency=­Chicago style politics

At least the feds fined GE

One thing the right and left seem to have in common these days is a hatred of corporate influence on the government.

[treboi]

Well, it seems like the right is supporting corporate influence with their support of corporate health care...

[liamd1]

Don't even have the capacity to give credit where it's due. Do you?

[Chip W]

True enough. I guess I was thinking of the financial sector.

[icewomancometh]

And here to talk about cor.ruptio­n, that arbiter of toenail taste----D*I*C*K Morris

[shamroc02]

Do any of these people at Fox News know how to do anything without bringing Obamas name up? What in the heck does he have to do with his fued with Keith?

[revue]

O'liely is has been fos for years now.

People know O'liely is fos and has zero cred.

[americanalien]

Keith Olbermann is the most honest man in the national media. That is why Republican pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Lou Dobbs dislike him. He exposes them for their hypocrisy.

[revue]

I agree

[peacethinker]

co-sign

[ObamAtomic]

Indeed!

[Hopeington]

yep

[americanalien]

Why is Bill O'Reilly so corrupt and dishonest?
