    Wow, some nice ownership by Olbermann of Billy O. The Fox idiot couldn't even issue a correction that he was wrong, and then to top it off Fox News actually altered the transcript of what O'Reilly said!

    Fair and balanced my ass!

    From YouTube comments:

    "Bill O'Reilly - another week in 1st place.

    Keith Oldermann - Last place!

    America loves the O'Reilly Factor!"


    And what does that say about the American television-viewing audience?

    I liked Olbermann when he was the sportscast Graucho Marx of one of the local LA news shows. As a left wing elitist he doesn't do much for me. If O'Reilly would have correctly referenced an atrocity would Olbermann change his tune?

    The point of the matter is that O'Reilly never corrected himself. He was wrong two times and not once has he issued a retraction.

    Until Fox and O'Reilly issues an apology and a correction I don't think MSNBC or Olbermann need to change their tunes. Why are you defending a journalist that misrepresents the facts to his audience? Isn't the truth more important than politics or who works for what network?

    Olbermann pretty much pwns Bill O every time because he is cool, calm and collected. He isn't some dumbass paid media shill like Bill O is.

    He will always kick Bills ass. I would love to see them in a one on one debate.

    Bill wouldn't do it unless it was pre-recorded and he could edit it. :p

    Here's a bonus ownage. I posted it a while ago. It's an all-Irish O'Reilly episode, where Donahue owns "Billy Boy" right and proper :D

    I used to love watching O'Reilly, soon I however found him doing stuff like this all the time. Getting his facts wrong he didn't care, he was nothing but spin. People would try to correct him and he simply would not listen.
    When it fits your agenda it's great to watch for most, I myself however was sickened one to many times by his 'spin' I had to stop watching.

    And the most ironic thing (lost on most people) is that he calls it the "No Spin Zone."

    LMFAO he's a joke.

    Check Bills latest BS, with video.

    So if they retract the one atrocity, apologize, and replace it with another atrocity then Keith should say thanks for the correction, now your point is good.

    I just don't get these myopic bluebloods like Olbermann that will push the agenda that their Ivy League Prep School teachers and Columbia University professors spoon feed them. They lean so far left that their elbow scrapes the floor and can't stomach the fact that an alternative to the left has a say and beats them in the ratings.

    That is very true and equally as disturbing.

    Check my classic Bill O thread from January 5th this year, it's a riot. :D

    Classic AGS Bill O'Reilly thread.

    I would disagree with that...I am not an O'reilly watcher, but I don't hear about him spitting out false stuff...the same can be said for rush on the EIB network. No one is calling him a liar, yet he still seems to dominate the ratings...I wonder why? Furthermore, how come all the conservative talk radio has plenty of listeners, and everytime the libs try to start a liberal radio (such as air america), it winds up in the hole? Maybe because americans don't want to listen to all the crying and the made up CRAP that libs spew?

    I used to watch O'reilly religiously, he was proven wrong in many, many of his shows. Even when proven wrong he keeps on rambling over people.

    It's not so much about people even supporting him as alot of people who watch him can't stand the guy, they watch for entertainment purposes.

    As far as why liberal shows don't last I could care less, I wouldn't be watching them anyways.

    Thanks for the read ;)

    When I watched him I admit at times I got sucked in, thought he was great. His ideas at the time were so in tune with mine that I let myself go damn near and simply let shit slide, until I noticed more and more people stating facts that showed Bill to be incorrect. I even did some research and sure enough Bill had his facts wrong time after time. He is simply so full of himself, he gets loud and spouts off. When he gets loud he doesn't care if he's actually correct or not as he thinks he knows more than experts on every subject.

    Anyone who watches him, simply watch for when someone is an expert and actually states Bill is wrong and research for yourself. Don't let Bill tell you what is the facts, find out with your own free will.
