He trashes them both on nearly a daily basis. Shouldn't he give them a platform to respond? Isn't that the fair thing to do? I have yet to hear Media Matters of Olbermann say anything about O'reilly that wasnt true. Yet Bill O'reilly keeps on slamming both of them, calling them liars and "smear merchants." O'reilly if you want to be taken seriously, please give at least one example of Olbermann or Media Matters lying, and let them respond to your charges. Isn't that what being "fair and balanced" is about?

1. Cowardice. Just like Limbaugh. Cowardice.
They are worth at least $100 million apiece by being cowards.

2. I'm sorry...did you just use the word "fair" in reference to Bill O'Reilly?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(No, seriously, you're right - that's what he should do. But I think we both know that he won't. :eyes: ) Peace. :hi:

3. that will never happen, ever. O'Reilly has guests on the reinforce his own opinions
and the the few times he has on a contrarian it's usually someone no one but their own mom has heard of.

5. He doesn't want to get his pants taken off in public again.
He's not as dumb as he comes across.

6. I think he probably is as dumb as he comes across in public
Because if that's just an act, he should win every award out there. He has most people convinced that he's either losing it, or already has lost it. Nobody can act that well.

7. Just tonight he offered $25,000 to get Bruce Springsteen on
(to be donated to Habitat for Humanity). He can't even pay guests to come on.
