O'Liilly calls Media Matters "paid assassins", won't be on Fox...

[edbermac]

On the October 14 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly called Media Matters for America "paid assassins" and claimed that despite our repeated requests to debate him on the air "they will never set foot, not only in my program, but at Fox News Channel."

After a caller agreed with O'Reilly about the bias of "smear merchants" but defended Media Matters' willingness to "defend themselves," O'Reilly immediately cut the caller off and renewed his assault on Media Matters, labeling us "paid assassins" and calling us "inherently dishonest." O'Reilly also accused us of taking "stuff out of context."

Media Matters has repeatedly requested the opportunity to respond to O'Reilly's attacks on his program, but these requests have been either denied or ignored.

O'Reilly previously has stated that "if you attack someone publicly, as these men did to me, you have an obligation to face the person you are smearing. If you don't, you are a coward."

Hey Bill, can you spell P-U-S-S-Y?

1. Sounds like Bill is coming unhinged.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. He's been unhinged for several years now

I bet he doesn't see the irony of his own words cited above.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Maybe he'll have a "Novak moment" and have to take some time off

we can only hope!

[Missy M]

2. For the life of me I can't understand why ANYONE would even...

listen to O'Reilly. He is one of the biggest "smear merchants" around.

[K8-EEE]

3. Yet Everyone Who Declines HIS Invitations Is "Scared"

Scared of the FACTOR....LOL! What an assclown. Even the Freepers are done with this idiot, and his ratings are in a freefall.

[OKDem08]

7. what's your source for that info on his ratings?

[Botany]

4. Damn media matters ..... they quote people and give footnotes,

time, and context. like this:

HANNITY: Now, Jeff Gannon, who is a terrific Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for Talon News, actually shot me an e-mail today, and he's about to break a story in an exclusive about these CBS documents.

8. ROFL

Is that falafel getting too hot to handle, Billy?

On edit: I guess Donahue won't be back on, either. This guy is laugable!

[MidwestTransplant]

9. He spells it F A L A F E L

[PatrioticLeftie]

10. That's "Fair and Balanced" for ya!

Step 1: Search for entity opposing political views
Step 2: Ruthlessly attack with claims based on half-truths, exaggerations, and lies
Step 3: Do not allow entity to get word in edgewise, bar from entry onto program or drown out with big mouth

Congratulations! You are now ready to serve FOX, Your New Overlord!

11. Isn't O'Reilly gonna be on the Daily Show this week?

This should be fun!

[IntravenousDemilo]

12. Holy shit! Really?

What day?

[Lubernaut]

16. I think it's Wednesday.

Not sure though. I saw something about it earlier but was distracted getting kids ready for school.

[PatrioticLeftie]

17. It's Tuesday!

21. I just watched it, and he said tomorrow (i.e., Tuesday)! Yay!

This should be good. I hope Jon takes the gloves off and "Tuckerizes" him.

[Garbo 2004]

15. Again? Maybe Jon should provide him one of those inflatable donut cushions

and some batteries. Just to make him comfy. LOL

[IntravenousDemilo]

13. Oh, Bill -- "Waaaaaahhhh, waaaaaahhhh, waaaaaahhhh!!!"

Want some fromage with that whine?

[Junkdrawer]

14. The word "projection" comes to mind...

I don't know why...

[zbdent]

18. Yeah, "you attack someone publicly"

Since when did Media Matters have a cable channel?

Seems like people have to seek out Media Matters - B.S. O'Reilly is easily found by flipping through the channels (when you're too dumb to realize that you can block the channel from your TV, cable box, and VCR settings - like I do with Faux, the Church channels, and the perpetual paid programming channels . . .)

19. Buh Bye Fox!

Have fun in the gutter of ratings...

20. DAMN YOU LIBERAL FILE FOOTAGE!!

22. O'Reilly is a consummate coward

Like Limbaugh, he hides behind his desk and microphone.


...when he's not giving women advice on vibrator use, that is...
