Bill O’Reilly took a few minutes to ruminate about The Olbermann Incident without mentioning his former competitor by name. Not once. And from Olbermann’s point of view, that’s probably the worst insult O’Reilly could have delivered.
“They took one of their guys out and then they’re moving everybody else around. Doesn’t matter who he is or why they took him out,” O’Reilly said. “[I] don’t want to get involved with any of that personal stuff.”
When he says they’re moving everybody else around, we’re pretty sure he means like deck chairs on the Titanic.
O’Reilly noted that MSNBC was ranked 28th overall in cable ratings, which he said demonstrated failure, especially considering the fact the network has the resources of NBC behind it.
“Sure, look — we know the double standard, but it is and we’ve accepted the double standard, Bernie and I have because we can’t do anything about it,” O’Reilly said. “Bernie left CBS. I left CBS. Now we are here at Fox News. But let me ask you this: When you read in the print press about all of this garbage and that’s what it is, this network with NBC’s resources behind it to be ranked 28th is a disgrace. That’s a failure. Now they could squeeze out a few million dollars of profit, I guess, but it’s a failure. But the Fox News Channel is a colossal success – colossal success. You never read that. I very rarely read that.”

Tallest midget in the room? HAR!
With the Egyptian crisis happening, it would be a good opportunity for Comcast to get rid of the rest of the primetime MSNBC trolls. Heck, if they would start covering some real news, they might eventually beat FoxNews out in the ratings game.
From what I can tell, most of the Loonycrat Liberals are immigrating to Anderson Cooper & The Most Rusted Name In News.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part...........sigh______
Its sad but I think the russian times and pravda english edition have better coverage of the US than the american media. Ok, so they don't have the babes like fox but they actually cover things that matter in the long run.
In USSA media products consumes you!
I can't speak to Russian news sources, but many of the British papers do have better coverage then our domestic news operations. They can easily accessed from links found of the Drudge Report, & all of you can see for yourself.
