Archive for Bill O’Reilly
The meeting of liberal comedian Jon Stewart from ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ and right-wing pundit Bill O’Reilly on ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ was anticipated enough by Stewart fans that many braved the Fox News network to get a glimpse of this modern-day Clash of the Titans. However, we like our readers too much to subject them to such torture, so we tracked down the full length video, provided courtesy of Fox News. [blech]
The interview has generated a ton of post mortem discussion about the politics of the situation both in the mainstream media and the blogosphere, and who “won” the interview. Then again, apparently Jon is quite aware of such discussion. However, I have concluded, as Henry Kissinger might say, America won this round.
Here’s a collection of articles that you might want to check out that have discussed the interview:

Posted by: | CommentsThe thing I’m loving about this feud between Stephen Colbert (and Jon Stewart for that matter) and the mainstream media is that the mainstream media keeps digging themselves in deeper and deeper. Here’s some footage of Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck discussing the soon-to-be-famous feud between Beck and Colbert, courtesy of Media Matters.

O’Reilly to address his “outburst” footage?

O’Reilly to Address Inside Edition Meltdown on Tonight’s Factor
Well, now that everyone and Stephen Colbert (above) has taken his turn on Bill O’Reilly’s classic meltdown clip, the one that has hung in there, in part, because of YouTube’s diligent efforts to take it down eight hours after it went up, O’Reilly himself plans to address it on his show tonight—at least as of this moment …
I can’t bring myself to watch this show, but you can bet I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for any word from News Hounds (or similar sources) on the topic. I can’t imagine what “Papa Bear” thinks of Stephen’s take on it … but it’s amusing for me to try.
UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s a link to the brief response, courtesy of News Hounds. Thanks for the link, gina24!

In case you haven’t seen the Bill O’Reilly meltdown (NSFW)
Posted by: | CommentsIf you haven’t seen this video (which was featured on the show tonight), you can watch it here. It’s a thing of beauty. But there’s all kinds of f-bombs, so please be aware that this does not meet our normal family-friendly standards.
That being said, this is funny as hell.
